This week’s bonus sermon is from the closing of our 40 Hours Devotion: The French Meal Bishop’s Corner I write this on the morning of October 13, Our Lady of Fatima. We had a bit of red in the sky at dawn, and I’m wondering if it will rain again this year, so that the […]

Bishop’s Corner I wrote this corner last Thursday morning, after a turbulent, jet lag night, wondering amidst my tossings what time I needed to get up, what chapel I was going to, and in what language I was meant to preach. 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 […]

Bishop’s Corner The Holy Cross is a dear devotion of ages past, still held by us as Catholics, yet strangely forgotten. Thus it is that the Finding or the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (May 3rd and September 14) have few takers, although everyone comes to kiss the Cross twice on Good Friday, and we […]

Bishop’s Corner All outdoors seemed a great Easter basket this past Thursday, filled with tall green grass under sunny skies, and an Easter Bunny as well. These were my thoughts that morning as I spied a rabbit from my window. I hope you too enjoyed the sunny skies which returned at last, after so much […]

Bishop’s Corner I write this on a rainy Tuesday in Holy Week, reflecting on the splendid Palm Sunday we had, and hoping for another Easter Triduum with which to glorify God. At St. Gertrude, we are nothing if we do not glorify God. We do this out of love for Our Lord, joined to some […]
