Bishop’s Corner At our All Saints party, I was struck by how quickly our children are growing up. Last year’s little saints sat it out, or rather followed this year’s saints from the seats with interest, and gave their answers with alacrity. Their younger brothers and sisters, arrayed even more with innocence than the charming […]

Bishop’s Corner Last Sunday, Christ the King, was a bit of Christmas and Easter and All Saints Day, combined into one. The beautifully decorated altars, done in regal shades of gold, rendered first their homage to the King of Kings, then the beautiful Masses and music uplifted our hearts. The Little King, the Infant Jesus, […]

Bishop’s Corner Blessed feast day of Christ the King! The Kingship of Christ is a theme found in the Sacred Liturgy all year long, but this Autumn Sunday nearest All Saints Day is chosen for a specific feast to proclaim Christ as King here and now, in this daily world of ours and in every […]

Ever have a night like that? (Well, not the preaching part, necessarily.) Still, all […]

From Fr. McGuire: Dear Faithful, The month of the angels, which officially opened on Angel Sunday, has already brought us little tidbits of good news – as well as many graces, to be sure! The first bit of good news is that Paulina Strauss had a successful operation last Monday. We all hope her recovery […]

From Fr. McGuire: Dear Faithful, While Bishop Dolan is away in France he asked that I write a letter to all of you. I was asked to write a little something about the missions which I take care of. Well, where do I start? How about St. Clare’s in Chillicothe. Our little home chapel has […]
