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 Fifth Sunday of Easter
Entrance Antiphon for the Fifth Sunday of Easter
Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvelous deeds;
he has revealed to the nations his saving power, alleluia.
Psalm 97:1-2
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.
Announcement for Jan – May 2024
Following the deaths that shook our staff, the writers and editors of The Catholic Navigator Apostolate endured additional trials of illness and injury these past four months. 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 on Corpus Christi Sunday, June 2.
OREMUS PRO INVICEM! (Let us pray for one another!)

Voices from Catholic Land
Today countless Catholics are suffering martyrdom for the Faith. One day those so identified by name and the particulars of their ordeals will be included in the Roman Martyrology. To help acquaint us with this official record, Fr. Thomas Kocik offers us “Bound for Glory: A History of the Roman Martyrology”:

For the Attention of Catholic Youth and Parents
The Catholic Land article today is a good introduction to our veneration of martyrs.
