The Greatest Act of the Protomartyr St. Stephen

by Elizabeth Turello – As a kid, I remember always lingering on St. Stephen’s page in my book about the lives of the saints. In part, it had to do with the brutal means of his death; my little mind had a hard time comprehending the notion of being stoned. He was also the protomartyr, […]

Christmas and the Fatima Message

by David M. Carollo – The Fatima message was explained many years ago as reparation, reparation, Eucharistic reparation!
