The Apostles' Fast
Today is the beginning of the Apostles' Fast, which goes through June 28th. The Apostles' Fast helps us prepare for the celebration of Saints Peter and Paul.
Philip's Fast
This Friday, November 15th, starts Philip's Fast, the fasting period leading up to the celebration of Nativity.
Journey with Us, Sts. Peter and Paul!
Yesterday was the start of the Apostles' Fast, which ends June 28th. Last week we reflected on the boldness with which the apostles preached through the power of the Holy Spirit. This week, let us continue to call on the Holy Spirit, to give us the boldness and courage of Sts. Peter and Paul, and all the apostles.
