Ave Maria!

Ray Noury, a World War II Army Air Corps Sergeant Veteran, visits the Czech Republic. Since 1944 the people of Nepomuk and Pradlo have been remembering and honoring the soldiers that left their families and homeland to fight and die for their freedom. After the end of Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1990 the people of Nepomuk and Pradlo could then erect public monuments as they wished in honor of the American soldiers that fought for their freedom. In 1990 a stone crucifix was erected in place of the stone cross from 1944, and a more formidable burial was given to the remains of the crew.

Ave Maria!

On November 7th three friars attended a “Family Vocation Day” in Cranston, RI, where they set up a table promoting our community; Franciscans of the Immaculate.

Family Vocation Ministries envisions 10 to 20 years in the future to witness a substantial increase of vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life. The ministry also aspires to sow an increase of awareness regarding the importance of family life.

They hope and pray to have a direct effect on at least:

Five to ten men ordained to Christ’s ministerial Priesthood.
Five to ten consecrated religious profess to God their perpetual vows of obedience, poverty and chastity.
Forty to Fifty families improve in practicing their Catholic faith. Which may include but not be limited to: attending Sunday Mass together faithfully, praying the rosary together at least once a week and learning together about the Church’s special vocations concerning the priesthood and the consecrated life.

Ave Maria!

Marriage Day at the Aldrich Mansion – Sunday, August 16

The Marriage Day Celebration included live worship music, guest speakers, plenty of food, and activities for children. Tickets were sold for a cook-out style meal but attendees could also bring a picnic lunch. The highlight of the Sunday afternoon event was for married couples to renew their vows together at a beautiful waterfront setting.

This was a great opportunity to take a stand for marriage as it was created: between a man and a woman. Our goal is to esteem marriage to its proper place in society and make a statement that Rhode Islanders believe strongly in this cherished institution.

Ave Maria!

Ave Maria!

Attorney Scott Spear takes up a difficult topic at the Knights of Columbus in Providence, Rhode Island where he gives a talk on the Redefinition of Marriage and Its Impact Upon Religious Liberty. Listen as he brings up many points that many have never heard before. Very profound.

We apologize if the sound is not so good at times, but it is very audible.
