October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary, one of the Church’s most cherished devotions. At the heart of this month is the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7, established by Pope St. Pius V in thanksgiving for the victory of Christian forces at the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. The Battle of Lepanto, fought on October 7, 1571, was a decisive naval encounter between the Holy League — a coalition of Christian states organized by Pope Pius V — and the Ottoman Empire. Vastly outnumbered, the Christian fleet entrusted their cause to the Blessed Virgin M...

We had a three-hour meeting with Pope Leo (including picture taking), attended the canonization Mass for Saints Carlo Acutis and Pier Giorgio Frassati, and made visits to pray at the tombs of Saints Peter and Paul, John XXII...

The Essence of Love is to Serve

For the past 16 years, my husband and I have worked together in a marriage ministry as presenting team members for Worldwide Marriage Encounter (WWME). It was not something we ever saw ourselves doing, and certainly not something we were looking for in our lives. But after attending a WWME experience, a team member asked us to consider using our gifts to benefit other married couples. We thought about this request, prayed over our decision, and eventually said ‘yes’ to trusting the Holy Spirit and discovering how our ‘little story’ could help othe...
