We had a great time at the Newman Knights meeting the other day. Loved learning about what it means to be a Knight of Columbus and have some team building with tug of war.

We all had fun helping out the Knights of Columbus of Mary our Queen parish! If you haven’t gone, it’s a great time!

This past Sunday, Fr. Roza received an award from the Institute of Priestly Formation. The JPII award is given to priests who go above and beyond. The money was raised by St. Robert Bellarmine parishioners and the students at the JPII Newman Center. This was a way to thank and celebrate Fr. Roza and his amazing pastoring. The Knights Council did the reaching out to raise the funds. The award was presented by our Grand Knight, Andrew Nigro.

Last Sunday, Archbishop George Lucas came to speak with the men of Newman about his experience in prayer. It was wonderful and we are blessed to have him as an example for us. Thank you Archbishop!

First Saturday of Lent

Lord Jesus, our Savior, let us now come to you:
Our hearts are cold; Lord warm them with your selfless love.
Our hearts are sinful; cleanse them with your precious blood.
Our hearts are weak; strengthen them with your joyous spirit.
Our hearts are empty; fill them with your divine presence.

Lord Jesus, our hearts are yours; possess them always and only your yourself. Amen.

The Lenten season begins.

From one of the best, Venerable Fulton J. Sheen.

In 1952, Sheen began his remarkably successful run as a TV personality with the debut of "Life Is Worth Living," a weekly program consisting of lectures on topics that blended theology, philosophy, and politics.

Maria Mazzenga, Catholic University's education archivist, says that his popularity as a speaker and radio personality was pivotal in bringing Catholics into "the national dialogue" on religious and political topics of the day. "Catholics had pretty much been excluded at the national level," says Mazzenga. Fusing Catholic and American ideals in a fatherly way, "he instilled in them a sense of confidence that enabled their inclusion into American society."

Sister Maria Frassati Jakupcak, O.P., co-chair of CUA's Fulton Sheen Legacy Committee, says she hopes Catholic University students "will find in him both a role model and a friend." A religious in residence at Regan Hall and a teaching fellow in the Department of English, Sister Maria Frassati notes that long before Pope Francis started tweeting, Archbishop Sheen was a "pioneer of the new evangelization," using the media of radio and TV to spread the word of God.

The Jesuit magazine "America" once called him "the greatest evangelizer in the history of the Catholic Church of the United States."

While he was still teaching at Catholic University, before his successful television career began, Monsignor Sheen had achieved extraordinary fame as an orator, author, and radio personality. But it was his TV show "Life is Worth Living" that made him a household name across America. The series ran on the DuMont Television Network from February 12, 1952 to April 26, 1955, then on ABC until 1957. Similar series followed in 1958-1961 and 1961-1968.
