(Mt.25)  July 22, 2014 Parishes wishing to participate in offering humanitarian aid for the many thousands of young people and many young mothers who have been approaching the U.S. border may be helpful at this time. The greatest needs are at the points of entry along the border. Many young people arrive quite literally with only the clothes on their backs and nothing else!

Parishioners can be invited to offer goods or money for Catholic Charities on the weekend of August 2nd and 3rd.  The following items can be accepted: • Children’s clothing new or gently used, ages toddler through 17. • Underwear must be new and in original, unopened packaging. • Children’s sized shoes can also be...

As Padre Martín raised the host, a bright light suddenly appeared in the video.  The church lights did not change at all, which is plainly evident if you look at the unaltered pew shadows on the floor.  Bobby, thinking something had gone wrong with the camera, attempted to reset the auto-focus several times by tapping on...

La llevo en mi pecho, porque prometiste, al que la portara  una gran bendición, tu santa medalla me acompaña siempre a ti buena madre, me entrego hoy. Los rayos son tus gracias Milagrosa, que a todos tu derramas Milagrosa, y brotan de tus manos Milagrosa, acogen a tus hijos Milagrosa. El pueblo confiado a ti clamó, tu gracia divina  y tu bendición, las doce estrellas, los dos corazones, la cruz y la M, son la redención. Oh María concebida sin pecado, ruega por nosotros que acudimos a ti.

We've Reached an Amazing Milestone! Yesterday , at  12:08 am , a Heartbeat International Option Line consultant answered a call. The young woman on the other end of the line was looking for abortion information. She needed someone, especially when she felt most alone. Option Line—Heartbeat’s  24/7  helpline—was there. And, the young woman was referred to help in her community, Heartbeat affiliate, Bella Women’s Center, in Warren, OH. But what was so special about this midnight call? After all, Option Line has been reaching women with life-affirming help and hope for nearly 100,000 consecutive hours—including holidays—and carefully connecting women in need with local Pregnancy Help Centers. This particular call was worthy to celebrate because it marked  the 2 millionth time Option Line has answered  since we first said, "Hello," in 2003!
