We're heading to Indianapolis for the first National Eucharistic Congress in 83 years! Join Fr. Joseph and Fr. Mark for a conversation about this week’s event, Eucharistic revival, Mother Angelica, and much more!
The title for this blog is taken from Acts 1:8, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses... to the end of the earth." This blog is about the witness of faith through the power of the Holy Spirit in the world today. The above photo is of the friars on the Sea of Galilee recording video reflections.
