In the Roman Catholic tradition, there are three Archangels — Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael — who are commonly regarded as some of the most important teachers and guides in our faith, but, is there a fourth we should be considering as well?

In his September Reflection, Fr. Peter Schuessler reminds us of the divine lessons that each of these three (or four?) prominent archangels has to offer us.

Sharing from our Salvatorian-led parish of St. Pius X Parish Community.

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of St. Mary Magdalene, the "Apostle to the Apostles."

The first witness of the Resurrection, Mary Magdalene was sent by the risen Lord to proclaim the Good News to the Eleven. In 2016, Pope Francis raised her celebration to the rank of a feast, placing it alongside those of the Apostles and Evangelists in recognition of her unique mission.

Mary Magdalene reminds us that the Lord is truly risen—and that we, too, are sent to proclaim that Good News by the witness of our lives.

St. Mary Magdalene, pray for us!

Today the Church celebrates the Feast of our founder, Blessed Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan.

Blessed Francis Jordan's mission was clear - ensure all people would come to know our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Through mission, vision, and unwaivering determination his efforts continue through our Salvatorian priests, brothers and larger Salvatorian Family of Sisters and Lay men and women.

"One of the strongest images I have of my paternal grandparents’ home in east Tennessee is of a rather large print of the Sacred Heart of Jesus that hung at the far end of their hallway. My grandmother told me that she and Grandpa had received it as a wedding gift in 1946. It had been hanging in the same spot since the early 1950s and, as far as I could tell, it was probably forgotten about as soon as the job of hanging it was finished."

God’s heart call to our hearts

On June 11, 2026, as part of the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. bishops will consecrate the United States of America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Parishes around the country are encouraged to join the bishops in celebrating the consecration of our nation to the Sacred Heart.

Prayer to the Sacred Heart~
Lord, I come to Your tender Heart today,
to You who have words that set my heart ablaze,
to You who pour out compassion on the little ones and the poor,
on those who suffer, and on all human miseries.
I desire to know You more, to contemplate You in the Gospel,
to be with You and learn from You and from the charity with which You allowed Yourself to be touched by all forms of poverty.
You showed us the Father’s love by loving us without measure with Your divine and human Heart.
Grant all Your children the grace of encountering You.
Change, shape, and transform our plans, so that we seek only You in every circumstance: in prayer, in work, in encounters, and in our daily routine.
From this encounter, send us out on mission, a mission of compassion for the world in which You are the source from which all consolation flows.

Amen.
