Venerable Servant of God Fr. McGivney on TV

You probably read or heard the story somewhere, but you probably did not see the TV newscast from New Haven. To see the story and the video, click here.

Truer Words by B16

"The Church can never be exempted from practising charity as an organized activity of believers, and on the other hand, there will never be a situation where the charity of each individual Christian is unnecessary, because in addition to justice man needs, and will always need, love."

--from Deus Caritas Est

Keep up with the Pope in the USA

Pope Benedict XVI will make his pilgrimage to America on April 17. If you're not going to Washington or NYC, you may want to catch coverage on EWTN (www.ewtn.com) which will show wall-to-wall coverage of the pope's trip over 4 days. Watch streaming media or listen to the radio over the internet. EWTN is also available on Comcast digital (channel 291 in Chattanooga). If you can't view it at home, you may be able to catch some of the action on the big screen at the hall (we now have the full digital package available for viewing).

Supreme Council has created a special website for the pope's trip: www.papaltrip.com . Check it out for blog updates, additional info about the pope, a schedule of activities, etc. Also, you may sign up for email updates.
