FAITH FORMATION

This week we celebrate the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (9/8) and the Holy Name of Mary (9/12)

Did you know the Feast of the Holy Name of Mary celebrates two great victories for which Mary's intercession was invoked?

Learn of the two battles briefly here.
For fascinating details and the connection to Our Lady of Czestochowa, click here. Also learn of the origin of our Lady's name.

Our Gentle Mother is a Warrior Queen

Wow. This is 12 minutes long but worth every second. Understand the spiritiual battle that poisons our world, the power of the Blessed Mother and the Angels, and how we can join in the battle. Remember this video when the feasts of the Angels and the Rosary come next month!
