As Fr. Chris Alar explains, the evening we now call Halloween began not as a pagan ritual, but as a sacred Christian vigil—All Hallows’ Eve, the holy night before the solemnity of All Saints’ Day. This feast, instituted in the 700s, has always been a time to honor the saints and pray for the faithful departed. The Church’s ancient practice of vigils reflected the truth that holy days begin at sundown, anticipating the joy of what is to come.

With all the Marian devotions in the Church, what makes OLGC so important? What is the incredible story behind it and what are the incredible graces we can get from it? Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain.

Jesus told St. Faustina that Divine Mercy was mankind's last hope of salvation.  But how did the The Feast, Image, Novena, Chaplet, and Hour of Mercy make up the Divine Mercy Devotion spread around the world? What was the spark that came from Poland that Jesus said would prepare the world for his final coming? Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain this incredible story and how the Marian Fathers are playing a critical role in the salvation of the world and how you can be a part of it.
