When a reporter asked Archbishop-elect Jeffrey Grob of Milwaukee what he wants people to know about him, he let everyone know that he is similar to a lot of Wisconsinites in how he was raised. cruxnow.com/church-in-the-…

Praying for the people of Lourdes, and all the pilgrims who visit there.

At the Dublin Airport, the Catholic Church there boldly reminds all travelers that “God is love.” Pilgrims from @fenwickfriars, @LoyolaAcademy @ReginaDominican @NazarethLGP @IgnatiusChicago @MaristRedhawks have put that love into practice. Coming home now!

Last week, in the Gospel, Jesus told us that if we want to be great, we must serve. For the past 5 days, pilgrims from @fenwickfriars, @LoyolaAcademy @ReginaDominican @NazarethLGP @IgnatiusChicago @MaristRedhawks have been GREAT in their service. @chicagocatholic @archchicago

Who knew? With the temperatures reaching nearly 100 and with minimal work to do with the assisted pilgrims at #Lourdes we went to sprain for the day. Vamos a la playa! Back to work tonight! The kids went to the beach and I found a church for Mass. God is good.

On a 90+ degree day in Southern France, our joy comes from the beauty around us and the faith we share. The pilgrims from @fenwickfriars, @LoyolaAcademy @ReginaDominican @NazarethLGP @IgnatiusChicago @MaristRedhawks smile, laugh, share, and serve. @chicagocatholic @archchicago

I didn’t see this ad but it is a good one. Let’s allow it to inspire us to make this Lent special.

In case you missed it! For the first time ever during the Super Bowl, we all got to take 30 seconds to give thanks to God. Was an honor to get to pray together. Glory to God.

Because it falls on a Sunday, it may be easy to overlook, but let's not forget this beautiful feast: Happy Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes! May Our Lady and St. Bernadette Soubirous pray for all who are sick or struggling in any way.

So grateful to Meg Kissinger for sharing her story and her faith. She challenges us to open our hearts to those who struggle with mental illness and to their families. americamagazine.org/faith/2024/02/…

In service to others: Catholic Charities volunteers came to serve a hot, delicious Christmas Feast to hundreds of guests at 721 North LaSalle Street today. We are grateful for your time, effort, and warm smiles that greeted every guest and treated them with kindness and dignity…
