Today, June 17, the Church remembers Saint Albert Chmielowski, a gifted Polish painter who walked away from fame to become known simply as "Brother Albert, friend of the poor." 🎨

He had talent, recognition, a future as an artist. But when he saw the homeless and forgotten on the streets of Krakow, something in him shifted. He gave up his studio for the streets, choosing to live in poverty himself so he could serve those the world had cast aside.

Brother Albert once said, "If he is bread, let us too become bread... let us give ourselves." That is the heart of true outreach: not just giving from our excess, but giving ourselves.

This is the same spirit that animates Saint Francis Parish and Outreach. Every meal served, every hand extended, every person welcomed is an echo of Brother Albert's witness. ✝️

Saint Albert Chmielowski, pray for us. May we have the courage to see the people others overlook, and the heart to serve them as Christ himself.

For God so loved the world. ✝️

Not some of the world. Not the acceptable parts of the world. The whole thing. Everyone in it.

That is what we are preaching about this Sunday at Saint Francis Parish and Outreach. The Most Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a God whose deepest nature is love poured outward toward everyone.

Today, 27 January, we join the world in observing International Holocaust Remembrance Day—chosen because it marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the six million Jewish people murdered, and the millions of other victims of N**i persecution. We hold in prayer the survivors and their families, and we honor every life whose dignity was denied.

As Old Catholic Churches International, we believe remembrance is not only about history—it is about discipleship today. The Holocaust did not begin with camps; it began with the slow normalization of contempt: words that dehumanized, laws that excluded, neighbors who looked away, and institutions that stayed silent.

In our own time, we see renewed antisemitism, racism, and conspiracy-thinking spreading quickly—often amplified online and disguised as “just opinions.” On this day, we recommit ourselves to the Gospel’s insistence that every person bears God-given dignity, and we choose to be the kind of community that speaks up early, not late.

A simple practice for today:
Light a candle. Say the names you know. Pray for the living. And when you encounter hatred—online or in person—do not pass it along. Do not laugh it off. Do not stay quiet.

“Never again” must mean “never again for anyone.”
