The Galley: Food for Thought

LITURGICAL YEAR 2025
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.’

Weekly copies of our Faith Supplements are available for free downloading and printing.

Prayer for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Entrance Antiphon for the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time


Lord, be my rock of safety,
the stronghold that saves me.
For the honor of your name,
lead me and guide me.
Psalm 30:3-4

 

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.

Please note that during LY 2025 The Catholic Clipper has been moored in dry dock to allow more crew effort on The Catholic Navigator and The Catholic Tugboat. Also, the January  and February issues of our  faith supplements lack the Imprimatur due to scheduling difficulties.

Please note that The Catholic Tugboat is intended for use by parent/teacher with the child.
