Meeting a saintly person with style

March 24, 2019 Sister Pamela Smith, SSCM

I’ve run into the name and photo of Pier Giorgio Frassati several times recently. It seems that God is up to something when he introduces me to a pipe-smoking man with drop-dead good looks. Since […]

Shrine of Our Lady in Kingstree enriched with 200 relics

March 23, 2019 Caroline

The veneration of relics has a scriptural foundation in St. Mark’s Gospel 5:27, which records a woman who was healed just by touching Jesus’ clothes. Acts of the Apostles 19:12 states that St. Paul’s napkins […]

The gift of the family of Jesus

December 15, 2018 Caroline

Give the ‘look of love’ and the gift of humanity this Christmas

December 14, 2018 Caroline

As they celebrated their first Christmas in America 150 years ago, our Little Sisters in Baltimore noted that the donations received included “twelve turkeys, four ducks, sixteen chickens and so many other good things that […]

Should we do everything we can do?
