Ten years ago, on June 10, 2016, the liturgical celebration honoring St. Mary Magdalene on July 22 was raised from a memorial to a feast, putting her on par with the Apostles. "On the one hand, she has the honor of being the 'prima testis' to the resurrection of the Lord, the first to see the empty tomb and the first to hear the truth of His resurrection. Christ has a special consideration and mercy for this woman, who shows her love for Him, looking for Him in the garden wi

Recent events these past weeks echo this history, as the SSP

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,

Tomorrow (Monday, June 29), we celebrate the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul. Saints Peter and Paul are considered the principal pillars of the church. Peter, at this point in the narrative, is known by his given name, Simon and, we are told, he was the son of Jona and the brother of Andrew. It was Andrew who introduced Peter to Jesus. Upon this introduction, Jesus immediately gave Peter the symbolic name, Kephas, which is translated, Peter, meaning “rock” (Jn 1:42). In o

Father’s Day, that we celebrate today is an annual Sunday holiday that occurs each year on the third Sunday in June. It was created to celebrate the men who lead our families and Father’s Day reflects how we honor our heavenly Father by honoring our earthly fathers.

Even though fathers don’t tradit
