St. Joseph Parish and School in Fort Atkinson to host 40 Hours Devotion

FORT ATKINSON — St. Joseph Parish and School will host a 40 Hours Devotion.

This devotion dates back and was developed during the Middle Ages, after the Feast of Corpus Christi was extended to the Universal Church.

Corpus Christi is known for its street processions with the Blessed Sacrament, even in our own time. St. Philip Neri and St. Ignatius adopted the 40 Hours Devotion in reparation for sin, which brought many blessings and conversions.

Shocked out of complacency: Abortions only at Planned Parenthood

Guest Column

I must make an embarrassing confession: I am a complacent pro-lifer.
