A Reflection for the Feast of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin
...of the 10th anniversary of the canonization of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. It is rather amazing to me that it already has been 10 years come October 15, since our Servant of God – Theodora Guerin – was canonized. Of course, she has been a saint in our minds and hearts for much longer than 10 years, but it has been a blessing for us that the rest of the world is finally catching up to this fact. It has...

Reflections for Foundation Day — Oct. 22, 2018
...us gathered here this morning and those of you who might join us later via live stream as we mark this 178th anniversary of that little scene in the forest.
