September 18, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
For what are poverty, chastity, and obedience if not the joyful proclamation that true freedom is found, not in doing whatever we desire, but in becoming the persons God created us to be?

Archbishop Lori Homily: Dedication of St. Francis of Assisi Church
September 18, 2026Archbishop William E. Lori
Even if we cannot live exactly as St. Francis did, let us resolve to give ourselves entirely to Christ, so live our vocations and fulfill our daily responsibilities with minds and hearts renewed by prayer, penance, by the sacrifice of Christ offered on this altar about to be consecrated, and by our service to the poor and vulnerable in our midst and beyond.

A “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to venerate relics of St. Bernadette Soubirous!

The relics – rib fragments, kneecaps and samples of muscle, hair and skin from the French saint – were at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes as one of the first stops on a “Journey of Grace” tour of 140 locations across the country. Also on hand were two sizable rocks from Lourdes, France. https://catholicreview.org/st-bernadettes-relics-draw-hundreds-of-pilgrims-to-emmitsburg-despite-heavy-rain/ National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes

St. Bernadette’s relics draw hundreds of pilgrims to Emmitsburg despite heavy rain - Catholic Review

Despite driving rain and some of the worst road conditions she said she has ever encountered, Brooke White left her home in Wayne, Pa., at 6 a.m. Sept. 22 for the two-and-a-half-hour trek to Emmitsburg.

And another special moment for Tim: During the noon Mass, he met Father Robert Spitzer of EWTN. Father Spitzer was seated behind Tim, and the two exchanged a handshake during the sign of peace. 🙏

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified Thursday, 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! 🙏

Did you know? This is the building where a young Fulton Sheen once came for adoration — only to find the door locked! Msgr. O’Meara, who would later succeed Sheen in the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, let him inside. What a beautiful little piece of Sheen’s story to discover while preparing for his beatification. ❤️

Heavenly Father,

As the days grow shorter and the beauty of autumn unfolds around us, I thank You for the gifts of this season. In the changing colors of the leaves, the abundance of the harvest, and the coolness of the air, I see signs of Your wisdom and care.

Lord, teach me to embrace change with trust, just as nature follows the rhythms You have ordained. Help me to let go of what no longer serves Your purpose and to grow in faith, hope, and love.

Bless my family, friends, and all those in need. May this season inspire gratitude in my heart and remind me of Your constant presence in every stage of life.

Through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary and all the saints, guide me closer to You each day.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
