Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Pentecost Sunday; Sacrament of Confirmation

Archbishop Lori’s Homily: Votive Mass of the Sacred Heart; Knights of Columbus

If we were to recite the Litany of the Sacred Heart we would address the Savior’s open and loving heart as “the abyss of all virtues”.

All dear friends gathered for this diaconal ordination: Today’s reading from the Acts of the Apostles describes how, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and after consultation with the community, the Apostles discerned that they should appoint and ordain co-workers to assist them in the daily distribution of food and other necessities
