🕊️ ¿Cuál es tu tradición católica latinoamericana favorita? 🕊️

We asked our familia this question — and the answers were pure corazón. From the solemn beauty of Semana Santa, to honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe, to celebrating quinceañeras, to venerating el Señor de Esquipulas... our Catholic traditions are how faith gets passed from abuelos to nietos, generation after generation.

These aren't just customs — they're how we keep Christ at the center of our homes and our communities. 🙏🏽✨

Tell us in the comments — what's YOUR favorite Catholic Latin American tradition? 👇 Let's celebrate our faith together this Hispanic Heritage Month. Arquidiócesis de Baltimore Ministerio Hispano

The procession into Mass as Archbishop William Lori and the Order of Malta welcomed the relics of St. Bernadette to the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore. A sacred moment of prayer, faith, and devotion as we welcomed St. Bernadette among us. 🙏✨

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was beatified yesterday, September 24, 2026, at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Our good friend Tim Murphy is there for this historic moment — and he’s bringing us along! 🙏

A historic image unveiled. 🙏

Tim Murphy gives us a look at the first portrait of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen depicted with a halo, unveiled during his beatification Mass in St. Louis.

A beautiful new image of a man whose life and ministry brought the Gospel to millions. ❤️

“I wanted him to pray for my dad, but I didn’t know if I would ever hear back from him,” Archbishop Lori told the Catholic Review before the beatification ceremonies. “But sure enough, a few weeks later, a letter arrived and at the bottom of that letter, then-Bishop Sheen suggested I might consider becoming a priest.”

Archbishop Lori still has that letter, now a relic of Blessed Sheen, “somewhere in my files,” he said as the Church prepared to mark Archbishop Sheen’s beatification.
