In Jesus’ day, women had no social status and were often assigned inferior roles. But the women who accompanied Jesus were happy to serve quietly and gave generously out of their resources. Key among them was Mary Magdalene (feast day: July 22). Father Chris Alar, MIC, shares the story of this future saint and how the notorious novel The Da Vinci Code got it so wrong.

We are taught that we're meant for Heaven, but what does that mean? What will Heaven actually be like? Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he shares teachings from Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium to help us better understand Heaven. And hear theologian Daniel O'Connor discuss the characteristics our bodies may have in Heaven.

In this first episode of "Jubilee Journey Through Lent," Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC invites us to embrace Lent as a hope-filled season of transformation, using prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to anchor ourselves in Christ, deepen our faith, and prepare for the joy of Easter.
