The Galley: Food for Thought

LITURGICAL YEAR 2024
We persist in this Apostolate because the Catholic faith is beautiful, because it is true, and because it is good. We persist because the Church is Christ here-present, and, like a ship, protects and advances us toward Jesus Christ until He comes again. We persist because we have been charged with passing on our faith (see Deuteronomy 4:4-7; 11:19).

And, we persist because, to shamelessly co-opt a line from the movie, Chariots of Fire, ‘when we write, we feel His pleasure.’  Contact Us.

Presently, weekly copies of our three Faith Supplements are available for free downloading and printing.

Prayer for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Entrance Antiphon for the 17th Sunday in Ordinary Time

 

God is  in his holy dwelling;
he will give a home to the lonely,
he gives power and strength  to  his people
                   Psalm 67:6-7.36

We post the sources to all articles in these Faith Supplements each Monday at noon to assist teachers and students in parochial schools and CCD programs. These sources not only support the facts of our articles, but offer more information to all readers. 

                                         Updated Announcement 

     Following the deaths that shook our staff, the writers and editors of The Catholic Navigator Apostolate endured  additional trials of illness and injury. Taking time for the healing required pushed us behind our publication schedule.  Thus, we  are continuing with ‘Catholic Navigator Classics,’ issues from this same period in 2018 until we begin posting new issues for the upcoming Advent season.

              OREMUS PRO INVICEM! (Let us pray for one another!)

Voices from Catholic Land

We are awash in information, so much so that we are rightly wary  of what we read and hear. This is particularly true of what is served up by the ‘intellectuals’ that populate our sources of news and considered opinion. Are they  committed to truth? Masha Goeble, writing in Catholic Stand, raises the issue of truth and the intellectual by examining the vocation of the true intellectual:
