Archbishop Etienne has requested that we offer Catholics the opportunity to support National Disaster Relief considering the recent devastation from Hurricane Helene and the upcoming expected damage from Hurricane Milton. Please give directly to Catholic Charities USA as the funds can be used immediately in response to this emergency.
New proposals in Congress threaten human life and religious freedom.
The need to accompany and support the increasing number of families struggling with infertility is real. But after largely misunderstanding a recent ruling by the Alabama state supreme court, many members of Congress – including those who consider themselves pro-life – are in a rush to impose a new national “right” to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and other such technologies that threaten preborn human lives and treat people like property (like surrogacy, gene editing, and cloning). At least one of the current proposals could also threaten religious hospitals, charities, schools, and other organizations that do not enable or cover these medical procedures, and even could apply to minors. Please tell your members of Congress to oppose bills and resolutions that claim to protect these problematic “rights” to IVF and other “assisted reproductive technologies” (ART) that cause the death of countless human embryos and violate human dignity.

Month of The Holy Rosary
The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. According to an account by fifteenth-century Dominican, Alan de la Roch, Mary appeared to St. Dominic in 1206 after he had been praying and doing severe penances because of his lack of success in combating the Albigensian heresy. Mary praised him for his valiant fight against the heretics and then gave him the Rosary as a mighty weapon, explained its uses and efficacy, and told him to preach it to others.
The rosary at St. Aloysius is prayed one half hour before each daily and weekend masses.
The Divine Mercy Message and Devotion
The message of The Divine Mercy is simple. It is that God loves us – all of us. And, He wants us to recognize that His mercy is greater than our sins, so that we will call upon Him with trust, receive His mercy, and let it flow through us to others. Thus, all will come to share His joy.
The Divine Mercy message is one we can call to mind simply by remembering ABC:
A - Ask for His Mercy. God wants us to approach Him in prayer constantly, repenting of our sins and asking Him to pour His mercy out upon us and upon the whole world.
B - Be merciful. God wants us to receive His mercy and let it flow through us to others. He wants us to extend love and forgiveness to others just as He does to us.
C - Completely trust in Jesus. God wants us to know that all the graces of His mercy can only be received by our trust. The more we open the door of our hearts and lives to Him with trust, the more we can receive. Learn more here...
