40 Days for Fr. Donald Calloway's Book on St. Joseph - Roman Catholic Man
Fr. Heilman, aka RomanCatholicMan, is a bright shining light out there for the Catholic world!! He is tireless & inspiring in his call to help bring us all to a higher level of holiness and charity. Posted here last week about the annual 54-day Novena he spearheads (8/15-10/7), and while normally wouldn't be compelled to "feature" him twice in less than a week, this effort needs everyone who might be able to help. The priest of the fantastical-supernatural-conversion, Fr. Calloway, is writing a monumental book entitled "Consecration to St. Joseph", and, shall we say, the devil isn't happy. Fr. Heilman is encouraging those who wish to spiritually support Fr. Calloway to do a "St. Michael's Lent" - 40 days of special prayers (found at the link below) & additional fasting or penance between today & St. Michael's feast day of 9/29. St. Joseph, terror of demons, pray for us! More info about this special St. Michael's Lent: https://www.romancatholicman.com/40-days-for-fr-donald-calloways-book-on-st-joseph/

More signs of Summer's End --- Yesterday marked the return of regular 4:45 pm Sunday Vespers. Shout-out of gratitude to the dedicated men of the St. Gregory Men's Schola who sing at both the 9 am Solemn Mass and Sunday evening vespers!
Last weekend our parish was pleased to host Ryan Grant, philosopher/theologian/historian/Latinist/speaker/Mediatrix Press founder - in general, your typical Renaissance Man - for a weekend speaking engagement regarding the Counter-Reformation period in England. An interesting period of time that has fallen prey to "the winner writes the history" - fascinating to hear the stories of the Catholic heroes & struggles of that era. Thank you to the Frassati young adult group for hosting this event for our parish! For info on Ryan Grant speaking repertoire: https://mediatrixpress.com/?page_id=1124
