BPPV is the most common cause of vertigo, and one of the most common things I see misdiagnosed. It can be diagnosed and treated in the office - but if you go to the hospital with “dizziness,” you’ll get a CT scan and a prescription for meclizine. Every ER doctor, neurologist and PCP needs to learn the Dix-hallpike and Epley maneuver!
Last November, Daniel McKenna, a personal trainer known by his social-media handle “The Irish Yank,” shared a video on Instagram of himself leaving Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Greenwich Village.
“We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming for an ‘I went to Mass’ post,” McKenna wrote, touting the experience as “one of the best Masses I’ve ever been to in my life.”
The video went viral, with hundreds of his followers commenting and thousands sharing it. A week later, McKenna filed another dispatch. “I went back to Mass,” he reported, “and yes it was another banger.”
McKenna’s enthusiasm captures the spirit of a suddenly resurgent Catholic scene in the heart of Manhattan, where college students and young professionals are showing up in force at Masses and other Catholic events as if they are queuing up for the latest hot restaurant or club.
Much of the fervor is focused on three specific parishes, all of which have seen a spike in Mass attendance and converts to the Catholic faith:
At St. Joseph’s, the Sunday evening Mass is standing-room-only, which hardly dissuades the 150 or so people in the overflow who stood in the church’s narthex on a recent Sunday. The church also saw 88 people receiving the sacraments of baptism or confirmation at the Easter vigil this year, up from 35 last year.
At St. Patrick’s Old Cathedral on the Lower East Side, the number of people, mostly in their 20s and 30s, being received into the Church or returning to be confirmed also rose — to 70 from 40 the year before.
And on Manhattan’s Upper East Side at St. Vincent Ferrer, which draws a slightly older demographic of young professionals and a growing number of young families, 77 people were expected to be received into the Church — through baptism or confirmation — compared with 50 last year.
“The Holy Spirit is absolutely 100% in charge of this completely,” the pastor of Old St. Pat’s, Father Daniel Ray, a priest with the Legionaries of Christ, told the Register.

🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as Artemis II pilot Victor Glover shares the Gospel mere MOMENTS before reaching the back side of the Moon, losing communication with Earth
"Christ said, in response to what was the greatest command, that it was to love God with all that you are." 🙏🏻
"And he also, being a great teacher, said the second is equal to it, and that is to love your neighbor as yourself."
"And so, as we prepare to go out of radio communication, we're still going to feel your love from Earth, and to all of you down there on earth and around earth, we love you from the moon." ❤️
Dr. Scott Hahn’s testimony of his first experience at Holy Mass:
“As an evangelical Calvinist, I had been taught that the Catholic Mass was the greatest sacrilege that a man could commit- to resacrifice Christ- so I wasn't sure what to do.
I watched and listened as the readings, prayers and responses- so steeped in Scripture- made the Bible come alive. I almost wanted to stop the Mass and say, “Wait. That line is from Isaiah; the song is from the Psalms. Whoa, you've got another prophet in that prayer." I found numerous elements from the ancient Jewish liturgy that I had studied so intensely.
All of a sudden I realized, this is where the Bible belongs. This was the setting in which this precious family heirloom was meant to be read, proclaimed and expounded. Then we moved into the Liturgy of the Eucharist, where all my covenant conclusions converged.
I wanted to stop everything and shout, "Hey, can I explain what's happening from Scripture? This is great!" Instead I just sat there, famished with a supernatural hunger for the Bread of Life.
After pronouncing the words of consecration, the priest held up the Host. I felt as if the last drop of doubt had drained from me. With all of my heart, I whispered, “My Lord and my God. That's really you! And if that's you, then I want full communion with you. I don't want to hold anything back."
I learned the truth about the Catholic Church on 𝕏 and YouTube, thanks to faithful Catholics who thought it was worthwhile to have conversations with confused Protestants. There are millions of people just like me who will convert, but more evangelists are needed.
Tonight at the Grotto Bishop Rhoades led students in prayer after Mass, calling on Notre Dame to rescind their decision to appoint an abortion activist to lead a department.
Two Cardinals.
Four Archbishops.
Dozens of Bishops.
The Church is speaking.
Will Notre Dame listen?
