New Marian Feast Day Declared

Pope Francis has decreed a new Feast Day to the Universal Calendar. The Latin-Rite Catholics around the world will mark the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, "Mother of the Church" on the Monday after Pentecost each year. The decree announcing the addition to the church calendar was released March 3 by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Sacraments. This year the feast will be celebrated on Monday, May 21. Honoring Mary as mother of the Church on the day after Pentecost highlights for Catholics that Mary was present with the disciples on Pentecost, praying with them as the Holy Spirit descended.

Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate:
Pope Francis on the
Call to Holiness in Today's World

Pope Francis issued an Apostolic Exhortation on March 19 called Gaudete et Exsultate, "Rejoice and Be Glad." Written in layman's language, it is easy to read and touches on aspects of holiness that are good contemplation for this Easter season. Its goal is to re-propose the call to holiness in a practical way for our own time. It touches on such ideas as finding holiness in being yourself and finding holiness in everyday life. It also gives us some pitfalls to watch out for, such as being judgmental or someone who knows it all.

Contemplative Prayer Session

Please join Fr. Canisius on most Monday nights at 7:00 p.m. in the Little Church for an hour of prayer, reflection, and adoration. Come experience hope that lifts, embraces and moves through the power of the Holy Spirit as Christ's loving presence encourages, directs, releases... our source of eternal hope. His hope in every situation is reality! Give yourself some quiet time with God at least once a week.  May God fill you with all joy and peace... so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Rom 15:13)
