Fr. Rick Frechette is an American Passionist priest and physician who has spent decades serving in Haiti. After his ordination, his missionary work eventually led him to Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in Haiti, where the sisters cared for babies born to dying mothers, many of whom were sick with HIV/AIDS. Determined to make a difference in their lives, Fr. Rick enrolled in medical school in New York and, after earning his medical degree, returned to Haiti. As a physician, he cares for the Haitian people, many of whom have been wounded by gang violence. His tireless and indiscriminate service earned him a place among Haiti's 12 most influential personalities, as named by Le Nouvelliste in 2019—the same year he celebrated the 40th anniversary of his ordination.

Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg struggled with cocaine and other drugs as a teenager and became involved in crime. He has since spoken openly about how his Catholic faith helped him turn his life around.

I was a stone cold atheist into my 40s. I found a Rosary in the trash...literally. I didn't even know what it was, but it was pretty, so I kept it in my pocket and just carried it around with me. Six months later I was confirmed into the Catholic Church.

After teaching in public schools for 10 years I was baffled when I started to get to know homeschooling families. Many of them only do a couple hours of “school” a day, the rest of the time the kids are playing in tree forts, digging holes, helping out around the house, learning to hunt, playing with musical instruments, reading whatever they want to read. The most successful families simply have a culture of reading and learning that permeates the household. And Homeschooled students average score 15 to 30 percentile points above national norms across all standardized tests.

California schools could soon close for two Islamic holidays under a bill moving closer to Gov. Gavin Newsom's desk. The legislation formally recognizes Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, allows public schools and community colleges to close for both holidays and lets state employees use existing paid holiday credits to observe them. Supporters call it equal treatment for Muslim families. A conservative Christian group opposing the school provisions argues California law doesn't offer comparable language allowing schools to hold exercises celebrating Christmas, Easter or Good Friday. The bill overwhelmingly cleared the Assembly 64-1 and now needs Senate approval before the legislative session ends Monday. Read more⬇️

After renaming "Christmas break" to "winter break," banning religious imagery in Nativity, and making celebration of the Nativity or Resurrection in classrooms illegal, we now get Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in public schools as explicitly Muslim religious holidays.

Belfast prays against decision by Belfast council to light our civic building up in green on Sep 28 to celebrate so-called safe abortion! How is it safe for little boys and girls ?👶👶

At today's Rosary Vigil For Life, under the patronage of Our Lady of Guadalupe, we prayed for the protection of every unborn life, and for publicly elected representatives to vote against the proposed illumination of Belfast City Hall in celebration of abortion. 🙏 We pray for an end to abortion. 📢 We say #NotInOurName#

States all across the country are enacting the will of Muslims. Some places are already extremely far gone like Minnesota, Texas, Michigan. I need everyone to understand that once Islam gets a foothold, it is all downhill from there. We have seen this play out in the UK, in other European nations. Islam does NOT function like other religions. Stop assuming it is like Christianity. It isn't. Its singular purpose is domination. Its followers will pursue this goal quietly until one day you don't even recognize your own country. Islam is an enormous threat to America. It MUST be stopped.

Around 3 million people, including Hindus, Muslims and Christians, attend the annual Marian feast, the Feast of Our Lady of Good Health, at Velankanni in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.

Brandon Vaidyanathan, a professor of sociology at The Catholic University of America, was raised Hindu and later converted to Catholicism after encountering the Catholic faith while living in Dubai.

“Begone, Satan!" were the final words of Father Jacques Hamel, the Catholic priest martyred by Islamic State terrorists while celebrating Mass in France exactly ten years ago today.
