A Question of Faith- Father, What Does Beatification Mean?

Father, What Does Beatification Mean?

It is the Church’s official declaration that a deceased person lived a life of heroic virtue and is now enjoying the presence of God in Heaven.

We were near St. Patrick’s Cathedral, when walking past us in the opposite direction was a clergyman wearing a violet zucchetto. Greg and I turned to each other and said simultaneously, “Was that”?

He smiled, acknowledged it was him, and the cop backed off. I was immediately struck by his stature. On televisio...

The challenge is reaching them before that moment passes. That is the opportunity Father Brian Converse sees in the Tri-Parish Community’s renewed Evangelization Program, sponsored by St. Mary, Mother of t...
