The Catholic Message Board

Welcome Aboard Roland!!

And yes....Siggy is here!!

We always use both....the Confiteor followed by the Kyrie. The Kyrie is always sung....unless the music director is not at mass, then I simply lead the spoken form.

Welcome Aboard!!!

Welcome Aboard!!!

Welcome aboard!!

Neither my Pastor, or myself, did any political preaching or endorsing during our homilies throughout the election season....much to the dismay of many parishioners. I think many of them wanted us to tell them who to vote for. We did put the "Catholic Guide to Voting" in the bulletin and i...

I think Shapiro was asked....and said no. He knew better than to hitch his horse to Kamala's wagon. Unless he stubs his toe really badly, he is setup to be the man for the Dems in 2028.

Welcome Aboard!!!

George Wallace in 1972 I think?? Wound up putting him in a wheel chair....but I was only 8 years old, so I may be mis-remembering.

Welcome aboard!!!

And welcome home!!! Please feel free to bounce any questions off of us that you may have....we are always excited to help someone with faith questions!!

I'm not from Michigan, but their website certainly looks legit. They are under the auspices of the Archdiocese of Detroit and their Chaplain advisor is Fr. John Riccardo. Looks pretty solid to me, at least on the surface.

My oldest granddaughter is entering 7th grade at her local Catholic school this fall and as such, her school supply list has a "Catholic Youth Bible" listed as one of the items that she will need. She has enlisted the help of "Deacon Poppy" to find a good one for her. She is a ve...

My niece will begin her career as a teacher this fall....teaching 4th grade at a Catholic School in the diocese of Wichita. When my wife and I asked her what we could get her as a gift she mentioned that something religious for her classroom would mean more to her coming from us since I am a Permane...

Assistants have to exist because a priest needs some on-the-job training before he can do well as pastor of a parish. That internship used to be 10 years or so, and still is in a few places.
