The Offertory is a sacred moment when the Church, that includes you and me, brings our gifts, sacrifices, prayers, and lives to God. The bread and wine represent more than physical items. They symbolize: The work of our hands Our daily struggles and joys Our total offering to God The p...

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth invited his pastor, Doug Wilson, to preach at the Pentagon—broadcast to all troops, including the one in four who are Catholic.  Wilson’s published views: the Mass is “idolatry...
