Indigenous Peoples' Day is an opportunity to honor the histories, cultures, resilience, and enduring contributions of Indigenous peoples. It also invites us to reflect on the importance of truth, justice, and reconciliation as we work toward a future that respects the dignity, rights, and voices of Indigenous communities.

Mail-in voting parties. Walks to drop off ballots. Election-day prayer services.

The Ignatian Solidarity Network isn’t telling Catholics how to vote. It’s building the community that gets them to the polls.

“We are talking about the Beatitudes and Catholic social teaching and looking out for one another.”

Early voting is underway. The midterms are November 3.

Voting is an act of love - a shared responsibility of loving our neighbor.

“Let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” - 1 John 3:18

Sr. Norma Pimentel was told her charity would be barred from federal funding for six years. The letter accused her of breaking government trust.

She and her lawyers went to Washington and showed they had met every requirement. The investigation was dropped.

"The ban was lifted," she said from a stage in Austin last week. Smiling.

Nevertheless, she prevailed.

"She is clothed with strength and dignity." — Proverbs 31:25

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Thérèse of Lisieux, the "Little Flower" and a Doctor of the Church. Though she lived a quiet life in a Carmelite convent, her "Little Way"—doing ordinary things with extraordinary love—has inspired millions around the world. Her life reminds us that small acts of kindness, humility, and compassion can have a lasting impact.

Today, we celebrate the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel, one of the Church's principal angels and a defender of God's people. Known as the leader of the heavenly hosts who defeated evil, St. Michael is a symbol of courage, justice, and faithful service. His witness inspires us to stand firm in truth, protect the vulnerable, and work for the common good.

Compassion begins with listening. Psalm 34 reminds us that God hears the cries of those who are suffering and calls us to respond with justice, mercy, and solidarity. Faith is lived out when we stand alongside those most in need.

"The Lord hears the cry of the poor." — Psalm 34

Vatican II gave the cup back to the people. A growing number of U.S. dioceses are quietly taking it away.

Green Bay's bishop called communion under both kinds "the fuller sign of the Eucharist"—then limited it to about eight days a year.

Karen E. Park's argument: this isn't tradition. It's a newer Catholicism where restricting the fuller sign has come to signify holiness.

Restriction is the innovation here. Not access.

"Take this, all of you, and drink from it." — Matthew 26:27
