Meet our newest Catholic: Alan Hofer
Last week, we received Alan Hofer into the Catholic Church. Alan had been waiting since April to enter full communion into the Church and was scheduled to move out of the area, so - with social distancing, we were able to receive joyfully Alan into the Church in a small, but sacred celebration. He made a profession of faith, received Confirmation and Holy Communion for the first time. What a joyful day it was!
As of this writing, Alan is journeying to reside near his family and to begin glorifying the Lord as a newly-made Catholic Christian. Please kindly keep Alan in your prayers.

Evil and Suffering * July 31 - Aug 21
It's one of the oldest - and strongest - arguments against God's existence: If God is all-good, all-knowing, and all-powerful, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world? Through these four new videos from Bishop Barron, you will learn how to respond both intellectually and spiritually to the "problem of evil" with this hope-filled series.
