We cannot tolerate or turn a blind eye to racism and exclusion in any form. At the same time, we have to recognize that violence is self-destructive and self-defeating. Nothing is gained by violence and so much is lost. Let us pray for reconciliation and peace.
Life can be difficult sometimes and your faith can be tested. You may feel like you are sinking, but no matter how hard it gets, always remember that Jesus is steering the ship and He knows the way. He will lead you out of the storm and into clearer waters. Never give up!
My dad was first generation Irish. He served his country, worked hard and loved my mother and all of us, his 13 children. Happy Father’s Day to all fathers and to all who have been like fathers to us!
We would like to wish HCPT Founder, Brother Michael Strode a wonderful 96th Birthday.
We will be speaking with him later today, and will pass on some of your messages to him.
On 19th february 1858 at the 4th Apparition, Bernadette arrived at the Grotto for the first time with a blessed candle. She held it in her hands up to the end. This evening we lit a candle and prayed for all who read this and for your intentions.
Ave Maria 🙏

Reflecting upon my #Neuroscience Master Program, I have learned a lot but it’s not enough (IMO). I have came a long way from not being able to go to a mainstream school to graduating w/ a 4.0 GPA, a thesis, a publication, and many accolades. #OntoPhD#UHart2019#cerebralpalsy
By recognizing in a particular way our youth with special needs, we demonstrate that their lives are unique gifts from God to all of us in the Church community.

The Mass is the most beautiful celebration we could ever be a part of. Our Lord is truly present to us in the Eucharist. Praise God! Next time you go to Mass, thank Jesus for the gift He has given us all of Himself!
We're heading back home, but thank you for following along with us on our pilgrimage to Lourdes. I'm bringing back a lot more than water from the Grotto and holy cards. Wherever we are we have Jesus, Mary, one another, and the Church. Lourdes remains with us.
Don't miss this celebration and opportunity for fellowship with other parents of individuals with disabilities exploring ways to develop resiliency, and balance for yourself and your families! Art program for your sons and daughters led by Arts Unbound! Live Spanish translation!
Day 3 of our pilgrimage. We're at the heart of Lourdes — the Grotto. Mary appeared to Bernadette here in 1858. At the time it was a garbage dump. Isn’t that still the case today in a way? People leave their “garbage” — their pain and sins — with Mary and she never lets us down.
Whenever we do good deeds, we shouldn’t expect praise from our peers. We should always do good with humility, seeking only to please God. It is only then that we will receive true graces and the reward of eternal life in Heaven.
We remember that Lourdes is a sanctuary of healing. Some sick people need miracles, we ALL need healing. A popular agent of healing in the Bible is water – think of baptism, think of miracles. God heals w/ water, & Lourdes is filled with it -- from the Grotto to Gave de Pauand.
