America 250
The 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States of America is an incredible landmark event that commemorates our nation, our history, and our religion. Of course, the theme of every Independence Day is always freedom. But have you ever stopped to think, what kind of freedom are we actually celebrating? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.
