St. Fidelis, Priest and Martyr (1577-1622)
"In addition to this charity, he was faithful in truth as well as in name. His zeal for defending the Catholic faith was unsurpassed and he preached it tirelessly."
-From a eulogy for St. Fidelis
Today's Reflection
We need more people like St. Fidelis in our midst today. Given the circumstances of my life, how can I respond to this need?

We have had numerous inquiries about a religious order based in Brazil known as the Grace Mercy Order which is promulgating alleged messages from Jesus, Mary, and St. Joseph.

St. George, Martyr (280-303)
"As for Saint George, he was consumed with the fire of the Holy Spirit. Armed with the invincible standard of the cross, he did battle with an evil king and acquitted himself so well that, in vanquishing the king, he overcame the prince of all wicked spirits, and encouraged other soldiers of Christ to perform brave deeds in his cause."
-From a homily of St. Peter Damian on St. George
Today's Reflection
