September is the month of Our Lady of Sorrows. 🙏🏻🤍

May we turn to Our Heavenly Mother during this month set apart for her honor. May we turn to her in every grief, trusting that no sorrow is too small for her motherly heart, nor too great for her intercessory power. ✨

May she continue to comfort and guide us on our pilgrimage to heaven!

Happy Birthday to our wonderful Evangelization and Hospitality Coordinator, Louise Mohr! 🎂🎉

She was recently interviewed by Mater Dei Radio - grab a coffee and listen here:

https://materdeiradio.com/captivate-podcast/encountering-the-love-of-christ-fbyc/

We love our staff and we'd like you to get to know them too. ❤️ We asked who Louise's favorite saint is and her favorite quote. Here you go!

"My favorite Saint changes with the season of life I am in, the time of day, and even the level of suffering I am experiencing at the moment. However, the past few years, I have had a consistent devotion to St. John the Baptist. His radical holiness and humility astounds and inspires me to live my Catholic faith uncomfortably. John never sought to be equal with his divine cousin; he humbly and fervently led others to Him. I pray that God can also use my weakness, my little life, my love, to do the same."

Quotes? TOO MANY!!

But this one sticks out and I pray it everyday.

"𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙢, 𝙞𝙣 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙩𝙮, 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙚𝙧𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙭𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙢. 𝙄𝙛 𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙞𝙣 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬, 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙤𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙢. 𝙃𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙚𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣 𝙫𝙖𝙞𝙣. 𝙃𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩. 𝙃𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙖𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙨. 𝙃𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙬 𝙢𝙚 𝙖𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙜 𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨. 𝙃𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙮 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙛𝙚𝙚𝙡 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚, 𝙢𝙖𝙠𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙨𝙥𝙞𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙨 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙠, 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙪𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙢𝙚. 𝙎𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡, 𝙃𝙚 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙃𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩."

We were honored to host Archbishop Sample this past week for the closing Mass of Quo Vadis Days discernment retreat.

What is the ministry of the priesthood? Mercy ❤️‍🔥

What a beautiful reminder of the gift that we have in our priests! 🙏🏻🤍⚔️

Happy Birthday Father Bernard! 🎂🥳

Have you ever wondered about our chapel? Watch this video interview of our co-founder, Anthony Morris to learn about the heartbeat of our center. 🔥

He shares a story about a teen encountering the relic of St. Padre Pio, about soldiers in Iraq, and why our altar looks the way it does - but most importantly he shares why we are here in the first place. ✨

We are grateful for Father Bernard's dedication and vision which has brought us to where we are today - now let's celebrate his birthday with a cupcake! 🧁 (Or two 😋🙌🏻)
