LITURGICAL YEAR 2022
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 of the Week

Sacred Scripture

“To fear the Lord is the beginning of wisdom…
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.”
        Sirach 1:4, Psalm 1:1-2

Special note for May Issues:
Because of scheduling difficulties, the May issues of our three faith supplements were unable to receive the customary Imprimatur. We are posting the May issues without Imprimatur. While we believe that the content of all May issues is in agreement with sound Catholic teaching, we cannot assure this without the Imprimatur.

Please note that 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.
