Imagine if YOUR prayer was the last one needed to bring a suffering soul out of purgatory! ?? November might be drawing to a close, but that doesn't mean we should stop praying for the souls in purgatory! Let's #TakeAMoment to say a Hail Mary for our loved ones and for all those unknown souls in need of our intercession. ?? Be sure to screenshot, share, and save for later!

Did you know that we are 83% of the way to our year-end goal for the Archbishop's Catholic Appeal? Thank YOU for your generosity! Your support during Advent Week will help us cross the finish line and extend the reach of our ministries even further. Starting THIS Sunday, we invite you to journey with us through Advent and follow along with our daily spiritual reflections. ?? Join us in spreading Christ's light this Advent and share this post with your friends and family! #LightTheWay

It's the last week in Ordinary Time! Enter Advent with the upcoming workshop from the St. John Vianney Seminary Lay Division or spend a weekend on retreat with the John Paul II Healing Center's Healing the Whole Person!

Jesus Christ: the Way, the Truth and the Life.? He came so that we might have life, and have it abundantly.? He came to show us the way.? He came to preach the Truth.? ? He calls us closer to himself, closer to the Truth–today and every day.? He longs to take up his throne in each of our hearts, to reign in truth, to bestow abundant, everlasting life.? ? In what ways are we barring him from that throne?? What falsehoods are we clinging to–about God, our neighbors, ourselves?? How might God be calling us to lay those falsehoods down at his throne, to live in Truth, to live in freedom?? #ScriptureSunday

"Music can become prayer." - Pope Benedict XVI St. Cecilia would agree with Pope Benedict on this one! Today we celebrate the patroness of musicians and singers—may her intercession inspire us to praise the Lord with joy and offer our talents for his glory!

"Blessed are the pure of heart, for they will see God." - Matthew 5:8 Today we celebrate the feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a reminder of her purity and her generous "yes" to God's plan. ?? May her example of faith and humility inspire us to surrender completely to God's will in our lives! Special feast day shoutout to Presentation of Our Lady Catholic Church in Denver!

At over 300 events in 20 countries, Catholics will be joining in prayer today for an end to Christian persecution and for peace to reign in our world. ?? Today, let's remember the power of prayer and turn to our Lady, Queen of Peace, as we pray for healing and reconciliation. Hail Mary, full of grace... #RedWednesday

Our two Seminaries' Appeal weekends might be over, but our seminarians are still in need of our support! Let's join in praying for the seminarians at our TWO archdiocesan seminaries, St. John Vianney and Redemptoris Mater! May the Good Shepherd form their hearts and minds to serve his flock faithfully! ??

The holidays are upon us! Celebrate with a night out for a concert at Holy Ghost, lean into Advent with an upcoming workshop from the St. John Vianney Seminary Lay Division, or create a gift for someone on your list at St. Thomas More's JPII art night! Which events are going on your calendar?
