“The Holy Spirit moves the hearts of the baptized, regardless of our background or social location, and inspires us to build the church as catechists.”

[Catholic Herald @acatholicherald]

Catechetical programs have resumed activities or will soon start in most Catholic parishes in the United States. Children, youth, young adults and adults prepare to return to sessions where they will learn and reflect about their faith

@Bartholomew0716 Hi, I you would need exterior polyurethane, which should work to weatherproof a sign. You would need to recoat it in a year. The can in your picture says “interior,” so it may not work as well. Spar Urethane is good for exterior purposes.

Happy St Joseph’s Day!

“Be brave in those strange lands. Recall how our Lady and our Father St Joseph went about in Egypt.”

An All Star line-up if there ever was one: March 12 is the 400th anniversary of the canonizations (together) of St. Teresa of Avila, St. Ignatius of Loyola, St. Isidore of Madrid (the Farmer), St. Francis Xavier and St. Philip Neri. Vatican Post has an aerogramme for that.
