Have you ever heard of the Justice League? No, not the gathering of superheroes that was a fixture of Saturday morning cartoons. Nearly 500 years ago there was a real “Holy League” of three Catholic powers: Genoa, Spain, and the Papal States, who formed an alliance to defend Christian civilization in Europe against a Turkish invasion. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how the Rosary played a pivotal role and the establishment of the feast on Oct. 7.

The Greek word "apostolos," from which we get the word "apostle," means ambassador or someone who is sent out. For His 12 apostles, Jesus picked ordinary people but gave them the grace to do extraordinary things. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains what happened to the apostles. Then hear about American Heritage Girls, an organization helping to form our children in faith and leadership to counter the craziness of our culture.

The Annunciation to Mary and the resulting Incarnation of the Word constitute the deepest mystery of the relationship between God and man. It is the most important event in human history, celebrated on March 25, exactly nine months before the birth of Christ on Christmas. It is a solemnity because it marks the moment that God entered human history in the flesh. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.
