The summer months bring opportunities for vacations and trips. Time to get away from the usual day-to-day to focus on family and seek out new adventures.

Patriotism and discipleship
Coming to the end of June, many of us are looking ahead to celebrations for the Fourth of July.
Come, Holy Spirit
The month of June begins with the culmination of the Easter season on the feast of Pentecost. The celebration of Jesus’ Resurrection through Easter renewed our hope and joy.
Sharing in Christ’s Resurrection
The Lenten penitence and sorrow of Holy Week have given way to Easter joy! Not only during Lent but frequently throughout the year, we are reminded of our call to take up our cross and to unite our suffering with Christ.
Begin again
The Fourth Week of Lent can seem like the 13th mile of a marathon. Will I ever reach the finish line? How much longer until Easter?
Call to continual conversion
Next week, Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on March 2. Year after year, we come to the Lenten season soon after the joyful Christmas season ends.
Ordinary Encounters
After the joyous celebrations of the Christmas season, the Church has returned to Ordinary Time. Nativity scenes, family gatherings, and gift-giving all lead us to encounter Christ in the Christmas season.
The gift of life
Christmas is not over! Our celebration continues as we celebrate the Christmas Octave. For eight days straight, the Church rejoices that our Savior has indeed come to us.
St. Joseph guides us through Advent
During the Advent season this year, the Year of St. Joseph draws to a close on December 8. The order that God established in the world reveals to us time and again that with endings come new beginnings.
The gift of gratitude
As fall continues and temperatures become cooler, most people begin looking ahead to the holiday season of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s.
