What's your favorite aspect of the upcoming week?

Maybe we've gotten better over the years at protecting quiet during Advent and Lent, but are we keeping Holy Week holy for ourselves? Father Mark-Mary has a few ideas for us here at Visitation Catholic Church: https://t.co/YI2rlzgCZ8

In his Homily, "In Praise of the Virgin Mary," St. Bernard dwells on the moment between Gabriel's proclamation and Mary's "yes," when all creation urges her to consent to God's plan. Mary, thank you for your "yes," which brought about the salvation of us all.

The Annunciation, of course, takes place nine months before Christmas. As a faithful Catholic, Tolkien really wanted to point, in some quiet way, to Jesus becoming man.

Today we celebrate all the holy men and women who are now united with God in heaven--and we ask them to help us live holy lives so we can someday join them. All you holy men and women, pray for us at Visitation Catholic Church!

This is ALL we need to pray today! Join Fr. John Lindsey and our community at Mass this weekend: Saturday, 4 pm, Sunday 7:30, 9:30, 11:30 am, 6 pm

Happy Feast of Sts. Simon and Jude? Some lists in the New Testament give Jude another name, probably to differentiate him from Judas Iscariot. Do you know it, Visitation Catholic Church?

Sometimes, a practical solution exists to a problem that seems insurmountable. Visitation Catholic Church family, turn off your music and podcasts, go for a walk, and see if you suddenly stumble upon the answer to the problem you face!

The third-longest-reigning pope in our 2,000-year history, St. John Paul II changed the lives of millions of people, including those in his native Poland. St. John Paul II, man of joy and the Good News, pray for us all here at Visitation Catholic Church!

There's also an ANTIPOPE Callistus, but as Fr. John Lindsey would rightly remind us…We don't count him!

We here at Visitation Catholic Church are always praying that the founder of the Knights of Columbus would be canonized. Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us as well!

"Good Pope John," the saint we celebrate today, was known for his humor but also for his unceasing pleas for peace in the midst of the Cold War. If you need peace today, ask him to pray for you. Better yet, join us for Mass! Saturday, 4 pm, Sunday 7:30, 9:30, 11:30 am, 6 pm

As Fr. John Lindsey would recommend, pray a Rosary today, hopefully BEFORE you answer this question!

Today we remember St. Bruno, who founded the great mother house of the Carthusians and helped settle on their motto: "While the world turns, the Cross stands firm!" May we live out this motto today here at Visitation Catholic Church.
