Pope Francis has released an Apostolic Letter about Saint Joseph and has declared a “Year of St. Joseph” which will be observed from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.
The annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity traditionally begins on January 18 (the Chair of St. Peter in the old calendar) and concludes on January 25 (the Conversion of St. Paul).
Pope Francis has asked that the Church observe the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time as the Sunday of the Word of God. Please join us on the afternoon (1-3pm) of January 24, when Dr. Ella Johnson - assistant professor of theology and spirituality at St. Ambrose - will offer a time of reflection on the Scriptures and the role they play in our lives as Christians.
