Why is the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven is a critically important day in the Church? Is it a Holy Day of Obligation? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he discusses this important feast and hear the story of an extraordinary community service organization where the healthcare is provided by physicians who are from the congregation of the Sisters of Mercy.

According to the Catholic Church, the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick is a meant for those in danger of death due to sickness or old age. But what about mental health issues or going under anesthesia? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains, and the answers might surprise you. Then meet Marcus Daly and hear the story of how what began as a father's act of love became a ministry of healing for others at life's most difficult hour.

When we think of the Saints, we often picture their heroic deeds or miraculous lives or miracles performed, but what truly made them holy were the virtues they practiced every single day. Father Donald Calloway, MIC, explores this fact more deeply in his new children’s book for Marian Press, Virtues of the Saints: Fifteen Heavenly Habits for Children, co-authored with Patrick O’Hearn.
