Archbishop Lori Homily: Homeschooling Mass
August 27, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori

Archbishop Lori Homily: Feast of Our Lady of Czestochowa
August 26, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Coming through the doors of this retreat house, many pilgrims, we hope and pray, will experience the peace of Christ. May they find here a place of quiet, a place of refuge, a place of prayer, where they can grow in all knowledge and wisdom, truth and love, where they can allow Mary to lead them more deeply into the mystery of Christ.
