As Holy Trinity and the City are trying to find a way to “save” our bell tower, I can’t help but think of how much church bells were a part of my growing up in Italy. “We will ring our bells!” Every Italian student knows the famous answer that the general of the Florentine army, [...]

The Sacrament of Confession is one of the greatest tools in God’s arsenal to make saints out of us!  We bring to Jesus our sorrow for sin, and He brings to us the Father’s forgiveness, whole and entire.  There is no greater sign of God’s love for us.  For Holy Week we’ve added these extra [...]

The Divine Mercy Novena is a beautiful devotion which highlights the salvation which Jesus Christ won for mankind through His saving death upon the cross.  It is a confident cry for God’s Mercy: “For the sake of His sorrowful Passion, have mercy on us and on the whole world”!  We have pamphlets available at the [...]

Now that we are done with Catholic Calisthenics, let’s go over a few points of “etiquette.”  As I mentioned last week, those of us with a few gray hairs remember kinder, gentler times.  When kids used to call grown ups “Mr.” and “Mrs.,” when four letter words were not part of the vocabulary, let alone [...]

Bowing Hopefully, we have covered most of “Holy Mass basics,” but occasionally people see us Catholics do “strange” things, such as bowing, crossing ourselves, etc. In an attempt to include all of our “exercises,” let’s go over bowing because, of all of our practices, this seems to be the most misunderstood.  But, if we stop [...]

When going to confession this Lent, we ask the loving God to restore us to grace through the forgiveness of sins. To help you, we have added some extra Confession times to our regular schedule this week, here they are: Friday, March 27, from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Monday, March 30, from 6:30 pm [...]
