I’m hoping this addresses some of our critical social issues from a vantage point of Spirituality. Hate knows no racial, ethnic, religious, class or education barriers, it burrows into the human heart and takes hold.  Weapons manufacturers have long known this, find the hate, solve it with hate, and reap the profits. Too much hate going around, with no commitment to replace it with something that heals. I believe that the lawful nonviolent demonstrations in response to racism are needed, but are only step one, building is way harder with no easy immediate grat...

Update on Covid-19 safety mandates We have recently received mandates from St. Louis County and St. Louis Archdiocese regarding face coverings.  If you are on the grounds here at SCL you are to be wearing a mask (face covering) - children below 9 years of age are exempted. There are several other exemptions:  Landscape volunteers while working need not wear masks, but they are not to interact with anyone unless a mask is put on. If you are exercising and are keeping physical distancing, you need not wear a mask, but as with the landscape workers, if yo...

It has taken me over a month to send something about the racial challenges that our nation and church face.  I had to overcome in me the inclination not to listen to our Black neighbors, who in anger and frustration, in desperation have called America to wake up.  I over focused on parts of the message with which I disagreed and so effectively I did not hear.  I’m asking you to read this and consider it, I am not asking you to accept it as Gospel Truth, or to see in it judgment or condemnation.  I am hoping it will give you something more as you li...

Donation Drive for School Supplies for the Poor School will certainly be different this fall for students in the St. Louis area, but regardless of the form it takes, students and families will need the usual school supplies to aid in learning.  This year, instead of collecting donated school supplies to help those who would otherwise struggle to purchase these things, the Ladies of Charity and St. Catherine Laboure parish are encouraging you to make a financial contribution, if you are able.  You can send any amount to the parish office, noting that i...
