Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains the Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children in Fátima, Portugal. This clear talk shows what you need to understand and the amazing connection with Divine Mercy.
In the New Testament, St. Paul writes, “We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God” (Heb 4:14). So, if Jesus is the Great High Priest once and for all, who, then, are Catholic priests? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Christ established the priesthood, delegating His authority to forgive sins on earth to the Apostles and their successors (bishops and priests) down to the present day, known as Apostolic Succession. Then hear the story of Br. Gabriel, a Franciscan Friar who puts his faith and ministry on wheels – literally!
How is it that we can definitively say the Catholic faith is the one true faith founded by Jesus Christ? Why can no other religion make that claim? Why can priests forgive sins?
Fr. Chris Alar tells how the Christmas Tree and its elements came about.
