When Pope Francis urges you and me to become missionary disciples who bring the faith to the peripheries of unbelief and human suffering, he is urging us to throw off the caution of the wicked and lazy servant, and instead invest our time and talent in spreading the Word of God confident that in the...

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time; Knights of Columbus Board Meeting

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: White Mass

Ten days from now, the Church will celebrate the Feast of St. Luke – St. Luke the great evangelist and also the patron of physicians – for, as Tradition attests, St. Luke was himself a physician, first of the body and then of the spirit.
