St. Nicholas cares for children. It is one of the reasons we pray to him when seeking protection for our children. There is a fun tradition where children place their shoes out on the evening before December 6 with the hopes that St. Nicholas would fill the shoes. When the children would wake up in the morning, they would find the lovely goodies! It's fun to think about gift giving and receiving. 

Being thankful has many merits. What are you thankful for?

It is important to consider how our veterans have protected us. This blog entry reminisces about days gone by and how those memories bring feelings of respect and honor.

Blessed Fulton Sheen shared lots of wisdom during his daily television show and many gained great insights. We can find his writings today and still be inspired by the still timely topics.

Our Catholic Faith has a wonderful tradition of praying to the Saints to intercede on our behalf. When we spend time learning about the Saints, we can see that the Saints surprisingly were similar to us in their struggles, doubts, faith, and victories. It is fun to learn more about the Saints.

Pope Saint John Paul II's Feast Day is on October 22. It is a great day to think about how he united so many people in the faith. We have an awesome mission at Gospa. In this blog, we will consider the role of evangelization in promoting our wonderful faith!

Saint Gerard's Feast Day is October 16. He is known as the Patron Saint for expectant mothers, safe deliveries, children, and more! Saint Gerard is a great example of "seeing in my neighbor the Person of Jesus Christ."

There is a reason why St. Padre Pio considered the rosary to be a powerful weapon. Our success is influenced by the intercession of Blessed Mary and all the saints and angels. We need this heavenly army beside us in the conflicts of this life.

Saint Francis had such a love of all of God's creation that he not only showed compassion for animals but he did God's work in helping people and rebuilding the Church. The following are some insights about how Saint Francis' love spilled over into the world.
