When he was only 9 years old, Karol, or “Lolek,” lost his mother Emilia to a weak heart and failing kidneys. Despite his deep grief, his father, Lt.

And so, for 12 years, he committed himself to loving and forming his son with his whole being. PHOTO BY WIN MCNAMEE/GETTY IMAGES Friends of the family would see them together constantly.

Ironically, now that it’s most needed, it’s easy for the Catholic voice—the voice bringing Christ’s Equipping parents for an light, truth and hope to a world in darkness—to get drowned out. ongoing conversation Catholic media vital In his Jan. 24 message for World Communication’s Day, Pope Francis not- about Internet porn. ed that in today’s fast-paced society: “The world of communications can help us either to expand our knowledge or to lose our bearings.” The pontiff explained that “communication is a means of expressing the missionary vocation of the entire Church”—which is to evangelize: to share the good news of Jesus Christ. He added: “The Church needs to be concerned for, and present in, the world of communication, in order to dialogue with people today and to help them encounter Christ. She needs to be a Church at the side of oth- ers, capable of accompanying everyone along the way.” In other words, the world needs Catholic media. “The revolution taking place in communications media and in informa- tion technologies represents a great and thrilling challenge,” Pope Francis continued, “may we respond to that challenge with fresh energy and imagi- nation as we seek to share with others the beauty of God.” Register successes In just a few days, on the feast of St. Patrick, March 17, the Denver Catho- watch Unfiltered and get the how-to guide at lic Register will mark its 114th year serving the Gospel.
