Today (June 29) the Catholic Church celebrates one of its most ancient feasts - the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. Why was the bishop of Rome was essential in maintaining the unity of the early Church in the truth of the Catholic faith, why does he remain essential today?
As local Catholics who have been away from Mass because of the pandemic (hopefully) begin to return once again, it's a great time for a “Eucharistic revival.” How could I stay away from Mass if I know the truth about it?
When I was around 10 years old, I bought a tiny, three-inch plastic statue of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that now sits on my desk in my home office. My understanding and appreciation of the Sacred Heart of Jesus have grown over the past few years, and I'd like to encourage you to discover this devotion as we approach this year's Solemnity of the Sacred Heart on Friday, June 11, 2021.
