How is Mary is an integral part of God's plan of Salvation.  Can we actually call her the "Mother of God" and why is this January 1 Solemnity of the Mother of God a Holy Day of Obligation? What do the titles Co-Mediatrix and Co-Remptrix mean? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains the critical role in knowing who Jesus is and growing closer to him.

Is there a connection between the discipline required to excel at sports and the discipline required to excel in our faith? What does the Catholic Church teach about sports? In addition to discussing these topics, Fr. Chris Alar also sits down to talk with Coach Lou Holtz, a former coach of the University of Notre Dame football team and a life-long faithful Catholic.
