Do I Have to Go to Mass Twice?

“There is no true Catholic who does not know that the intercession of the Most Holy Virgin Mary is a most powerful method of obtaining benefits and favours from the Majesty of God.”

10 Catholic New Year’s Resolutions
Do you make New Year's resolutions? Most people focus on bettering their physical health in the New Year, but what about spiritual health? Here are 10 Catholic New Year's Resolutions for your consideration.
Festa del Preziossimo Sangue di Gesù
July 1st is the Feast of the Most Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. In fact, the entire month of July is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood. Have you ever thought about the Blood that Jesus shed?
Christmas Novena
Many Catholics pray the Christmas novena to prepare themselves for the coming of the Savior. This particular novena is the earliest ecclesiastical novena of which the Church has record. It commemorates the nine months during which Christ was carried in His mother's womb.
Novena to St. Michael
September 29th is the Feast of the Archangels: Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael. However, in the 1962 Missal of Pope John XXIII - the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite - it is the feast of St. Michael.
How to Pray the Servite Rosary
The Servite Rosary owes its origin to the Servite Order founded by the Seven Holy Founders in 1233. From the beginning, they dedicated their lives to Our Lady of Sorrows.
Our Lady of the Rosary
The month of October is dedicated to the Holy Rosary. If you're wondering why, it's important to note that Catholics celebrate the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7th. We'll discuss why we celebrate this feast on this day, but first, it's important to understand what the rosary is.
Why Bazaar Season is So Important
There’s no doubt that our Bazaar is completely and undeniably Italian. However, does anyone ever wonder why we have a Bazaar? Is it to celebrate our Italian heritage? Is it to raise funds for the church? Is it simply a summer tradition? The answer is yes to all, but that only answers what our Bazaar is. The real, more important question is why do we celebrate every year around the 16th of July? What is so special about this particular day, that we would plan our biggest church event around it?
