God bless you with comfort and peace.

On this 25th anniversary of 9/11, we solemnly remember those who lost their lives and pray that God’s peace, healing, and hope continue to guide our nation and our world.

Let us join Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin in prayer: “Loving Mother Mary, on this 25th anniversary of the 9/11 tragedies, help us remember in a special way all those we lost, and all the heroes who gave everything to defend the sanctity of human life and the precious gift of freedom.”

May We .

Our parish is a stop on the nationwide relics tour of St. Bernadette of Lourdes. You may wonder,
"Why do Catholics venerate relics? What are relics?"

I have heard that the relics of St. Therese, the Little Flower, will be at various churches in the area in early October. I am not sure I understand this devotion. Could you please address the topi…
