Pope Pius XII established this feast in 1954. But Mary’s queenship has roots in Scripture. At the Annunciation, Gabriel announced that Mary’s Son would receive the throne of David and rule forever.

uServe 2023 was awesome! The theme for the camp this year was “Extraordinary” and we learned about some of the extraordinary aspects of our faith and how we can experience the miraculous in our everyday lives.

The teens absolutely crushed the service and embraced each day with joyful energy. Needless to say, we had an Extraordinary week! (Read more…)

Today, we celebrated the feast of The Transfiguration of the Lord. All three Synoptic Gospels tell the story of the Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-8; Mark 9:2-9; Luke 9:28-36). With remarkable agreement, all three place the event shortly after Peter’s confession of faith that Jesus is the Messiah and Jesus’ first prediction of his passion and death. Peter’s eagerness to erect tents or booths on the spot suggests it occurred during the week-long Jewish Feast of Booths in the fall. (Read more…)
