La Semana Santa es la semana más intensa de nuestro Año Litúrgico. En esta Semana Mayor, se reza y se re exiona sobre la Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección de Jesucristo.

On March 7, Bishop White Seminary was honored and blessed to welcome the Incorrupt Heart of St. Jean Vianney, the patron saint of parish priests.

Students gathered at Gonzaga Prep at the beginning of March to celebrate, and grow in their Catholic Faith.

Suppose you’re a young woman or man somewhere between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five, and you want to ask me what actions you can take now to set yourself up for a happy marriage How do you know if someone is good “marriage material”?  Are there dating behaviors that correlate with a better future marriage?  If I invited you out for coffee, sat down with you for an hour, and shared my best advice with you, here’s what I’d tell you.

So Jesus was an early riser. So am I, provided you consider 6 a.m. early. Continuing on, the Gospel of Mark relates that Jesus “went off to a lonely place in the desert; there he was absorbed in prayer.” My imitation of Christ is less literal.

The entire 25th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew is dedicated to the topic of being ready: “For you know neither the day nor the hour.” (Mt 25:13)

Así como la Cuaresma es un tiempo de abnegación, la Pascua es un momento para regocijarse. El patrón de ayuno y fiesta se ve a lo largo del calendario litúrgico de la Iglesia. Es apropiado que el día más penitencial del año litúrgico sea justo antes del más feliz, es decir, el Viernes Santo antes de la Pascua.

As Lent is a time of self-denial, Easter is a time for rejoicing. The pattern of fast and feast is seen throughout the Church’s liturgical calendar. It is fitting the most penitential day of the liturgical year comes just before the most joyous — Good Friday before Easter.

You have shown great generosity in recent months. We are most grateful. The Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) exceeded its goal in record time because of your response.
