Please join me in prayer: my September intention is for all students and teachers commencing a new academic year—that God will keep them safe and that they will grow with God’s grace in body, mind, and spirit, to be virtuous and wise. #PrayerIntention

One of the happiest days in a family is when a child or an adult celebrates the reception of First Holy Communion. What is often overlooked, or that many may not be aware of, is what might be called “Last Holy Communion.” catholickey.org/2022/10/10/las…

Uno de los días más felices en una familia es el día en el que un niño o un adulto celebra recibir la Primera Comunión. Lo que a veces se nos pasa por alto, o de lo que muchos pueden no darse cuenta, es lo que puede llamarse la Última Sagrada Comunión. catholickey.org/2022/10/10/ult…

I was honored to participate in the Holy Mass of Thanksgiving for the 2023 Lunar New Year at Holy Martyrs Parish last Sunday-a wonderful celebration of the Vietnamese culture and beautiful universality of our Catholic faith. Please join me in prayer for our brothers and sisters.

It is beautiful to see how our #KCHeartland is rallying around Ralph Yarl and his family, refusing to accept that a Black teenager could be shot simply for ringing the wrong doorbell. (1/2)

Healthy communities must be founded on the bedrock of charity, respect and trust rather than fear. Let us pray for Ralph’s full recovery as he and his family deal with his serious physical and emotional wounds. NKC Schools Staley High School Mayor Quinton Lucas Clay County, Missouri (2/2)
