All Saints, All Souls, and the Hope of Heaven
The Quiet Beauty of November November begins with a quiet beauty. The air cools, the leaves fall, and nature itself seems to pause, reminding us that all things, even life, pass through seasons. It is fitting, then, that the Church dedicates this month to remembering the faithful departed, those who have gone before us marked with the sign of faith, yet still journeying toward the fullness of heaven. We enter this sacred time with two beautiful feasts that frame our hope and our prayer: All Saints’ Day on November 1st and All Souls’ Day on November 2nd. On...

A Greater Love: Honoring Veterans through Faith, Sacrifice, and Service
As November brings us closer to Veterans Day, it offers a poignant reminder of the men and women who have answered the call to serve— a call that demanded courage, resilience, and sacrifice. Veterans Day is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a sacred invitation to pause, to honor, and to reflect deeply on the lives of those who chose duty over self, who placed neighbor and nation above their own comforts, safety, and often, above their own dreams. In our Catholic faith, we hold dear the teaching that every human life has inherent dignity and worth. Thi...

CNA Explains: What Does it Mean to Be a Doctor of the Church?
The Vatican on Saturday named St. John Henry Newman a doctor of the Church. The 19th-century English saint — a former Anglican priest who converted to Catholicism — joined 37 other saints who have been given the same honor. Born in London and baptized into the Church of England in 1801, Newman was a popular and respected Anglican priest, theologian, and writer among his peers prior to his conversion to Catholicism in 1845. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1847 and later made a cardinal by Pope Leo XIII in 1879. As a Catholic, Newman deepened and contri...
