Father Chris Alar, MIC, leads us into the deep meaning of the Epiphany — one of the oldest feasts of the Church, celebrating a cornerstone of our Catholic faith. The word epiphany comes from the Greek meaning “to reveal,” and today the Church celebrates how God reveals Himself to humanity, not in theory, but in history.

Saints Peter and Paul, whose feast day is June 29, are two heavyweights in the history of the Catholic Church. In fact, they were the original “Odd Couple”: one denied Christ after being chosen by Him, and the other was chosen by Christ after having denied Him. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how the future saints had something powerful in common: both were transformed by encountering Christ, the Living God.

Everyone loves Hawaii, but what many don't know is two of the most significant saints of our modern times shaped the world in mercy from one little island. The story of their work and the conditions is utterly fascinating and unbelievable by today's standards. St. Damien of Molokai and St. Marianne Cope changed the world and they can change you, too. Hear Fr. Chris Alar tell their amazing story!
