It was the first time for us as parents, which, no doubt, made it a more difficult experience for everyone in the family. Despite the arguments and difficulties of launching into college, my son has sinc...

When it comes to belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, Jim Pruszka leans into a Gospel passage in which a man asks Jesus to heal his possessed son. When Jesus replies that everything is possible to one who has faith, the father cries out, “I do believe, help my unbelief!” and

Herald of Hope Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris. Remember, man, that you are dust, and to dust you will return. The ashes that were just used to mark our foreheads speak a profound truth about who we are. One of the formulas that accompanies the process of marking articulates...

"To make a gift of myself, I have to be willing to see myself as a gift." What does our columnist mean by that?

Young Adult Referencing Gaudium et Spes (a document of Vatican II), St. John Paul II said, “Man cannot fully find himself, except through a sincere gift of himself.” I have been thinking about this a lot lately. More specifically, it struck me in prayer recently that in order to make a gift of m...

Crowd: “Catholic schools!” Archbishop Listecki: “Let’s walk!” And so began the Soles for Catholic Education Walk this morning @mountmaryuniversity. It was a beautiful day to walk to support our Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee!

Today, the Archdiocese of Milwaukee central offices held a staff prayer service in honor of the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the longing for justice that lives in all of us. In this, the 50th year since the Rev. King’s death, how do we, as people of faith, live in hope and give witness to the enduring values of justice, freedom and equality for all of God's children? Praying together is a good first step. (Video: singing “God of Light, God of Darkness” together at the MLK prayer service today.)
