Today the Church celebrates the Ascension - the moment Christ rose beyond sight and, as he left, gave his disciples a commission: “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations.”
The Ascension is not a farewell. It is a sending.
The disciples stood on that hillside looking up, and then they got to work.

That is what Ascension asks of us every year: stop looking up and start moving out.

The Order of Alhambra has been answering that call since 1904 - serving people with intellectual disabilities, preserving Catholic heritage, and building communities of lasting friendship in His name.

We are still going. Are you ready to join us?

On May 13, 1917, three shepherd children in Portugal saw a vision that would change the Church.

Our Lady of Fátima asked for prayer, penance, and consecration - not because God is distant, but because love always asks something of us.

Over 100 years later, her message is no less urgent. The world still needs people willing to show up in faith, to serve quietly, and to pray with conviction.

The Order of Alhambra was built by people who heard that same call and answered it in service to those with intellectual disabilities. This month, answer a call of your own.

On Earth Day, Catholics are reminded that care for creation and care for the vulnerable are the same calling.

Pope Francis put it simply: we cannot love our neighbor while neglecting the world we share with them - and we cannot care for the earth while ignoring the people who depend on it.

At the Order of Alhambra, we've spent 121 years doing both: preserving sacred history and serving those with intellectual disabilities, because both matter to God. If you share that conviction, there's a place for you in our Order.

Today the Church celebrates Divine Mercy Sunday - the feast St. Faustina Kowalska received in a vision and St. John Paul II proclaimed for the universal Church.

The message is not subtle. Eight days after Easter, with the Alleluia still fresh, the Church stops to say: the mercy of God is wider than any sin, any failure, any wound you carry.

"Jesus, I trust in You." That is the whole prayer. That is enough.

For the Order of Alhambra, Divine Mercy Sunday speaks directly to the people we serve. Every person with an intellectual disability reflects the image of a God who loves without condition, who values beyond measure, who sees what the world misses.

If you want to live out that mercy in a community of faith, we would love to have you.

ALLELUIA!

He is not here - He is risen, just as He said.

On this most glorious morning, the Order of Alhambra rejoices with the whole Church. The Cross was not the end. Death did not have the final word.

Every act of service we give in His name - every camp, every scholarship, every moment of dignity we offer to someone the world undervalues - finds its ultimate meaning HERE. In the Resurrection, every human life is declared worth dying for.

To our members, our friends, our families, and everyone we serve: a most blessed and joyful Easter.

Ready to put your faith to work this Easter Season? The Order of Alhambra welcomes Catholics 18+ who want to serve, fellowship, and make a difference.

Today we do not look away.

The Cross is not a decorative symbol. It is the place where God absorbed the worst the world could do - hatred, violence, abandonment - and transformed it into salvation.

We stand here today alongside every person who suffers. Alongside every family navigating life with an intellectual disability. Alongside every person who feels unseen or overlooked.

Because He hung there for them. For all of us.

There is no Mass today. No Alleluia. Only the slow, unflinching grace of a love that does not flinch.

Blessed Good Friday to our entire Alhambra family. 🙏

If today moves you to act on behalf of those who are vulnerable, the Order of Alhambra has been doing exactly that since 1904.

Tonight we remember the most intimate moment in the Gospels.

In an upper room, the Son of God knelt before his disciples - not to be served, but to serve. He took their feet in his hands, and in that single act, redefined greatness forever.

Then he took bread: "This is my body, given for you."

If you haven't made plans for Mass of the Lord's Supper tonight - go. Kneel. Receive. Let it move you.

To our members gathered in churches across North America - may the grace of this night deepen everything you do in service of others. ✝️

"I have given you a model to follow, so that as I have done for you, you should also do." - John 13:15

The Order of Alhambra has lived this call for 121 years - Catholic men and women serving those with intellectual disabilities in the spirit of tonight's Gospel. If that mission stirs something in you, we'd love to have you with us.

Wishing all our members, families, and friends a blessed and peaceful Christmas.

As we celebrate the birth of our Savior, may His light renew our hearts with hope, charity, and joy, and may we be strengthened in our shared calling to serve.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (Luke 2:14)

May Christ’s peace be with you today and throughout the New Year.
