Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC as he discusses the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says, "...call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in Heaven." (Mt 23:9) So why do we address Catholic priests as "Father?" This teaching is part of Fr. Chris's brand-new book, Understanding the Sacraments: God's Grace Guaranteed —a must-have guide to the spiritual treasures of the Church.

Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, was a guest on Cardinal Dolan's XM radio show "Conversations with Cardinal Dolan" this week.

Watch Most Rev. Joseph Roesch, MIC, and Very Rev. Chris Alar, MIC, as they interview our special guests - Sister Deirdre “Dede” Byrne, POSC (Mother Superior of the Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts), Nermine Rubin (Founder of Water 4 Mercy), Fr. Mark Baron, MIC (Director of the Association of Marian Helpers), and Bryan Thatcher, MD (Founder of Eucharistic Apostles of The Divine Mercy) as they discuss multiple topics and "Visions of Hope" during the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope.
