The retreat center will be the first of its kind in the area and organizers say their objective is to attract not only people of all faiths but busi- nesses and corporations, as well. “We want The Way to be a place where people in Midland-Odessa know they can turn for a retreat experience that will be spiritually enrich- ing for all Christians,” said board president Husband and wife Marc Ntibandetse and Mia Gatoni, standing, are Burundi natives who are members of Holy Family Catholic Church in Abilene.

  • Your Mother Is Calling!
    GO! Your Mother is Calling! JOHN M. HAFFERT Why This Book? Why GO? Where? The Pope says it all! Places o f pilgrimage, statues, and pilgrimages are all means which the Church and popular piety offer us so that, with their help, we can deepen our own personal spiritual lives our prayer and union with God and the saints, and make our daily Christian witness fruitful. Fatima (like some other great Marian shrines) is made more holy by the apparitions o f God’s Mother, through which she herself chose this place for her sanctuary. Here she is especially dose to the desires and needs of people, and approaches God’s throne with her power­ ful intercession on behalf of all those who turn to her in a faithfilled and trusting visit to this special place o f graces. At the same time Mary addresses her “ Message of Fatima” to all pilgrims, her urgent invitation to penance and conversion, and to ceaseless prayer for the conversion of sinners and the world, which today more than ever is in need of God’s mercy and forgiveness. Do not let this pilgrimage to Fatima be a passing event, which ends with your return home. Rather, make this pilgrimage a new beginning fo r your spiritual life. Continue what you began again in Fatima in your per­ sonal, family, and social life. Continue your interior prayer to the Mother of God, asking for the grace of penance and conversion for yourselves, and for all peo­ ple and nations. — Pope John Paul II Address to German Pilgrimage to Fatima in special au­ dience, May 3, 1986 (Osservatore Romano).

In this period early medieval settlements in our region were fortified. The area has been inhabited since ancient times, testified by the presence of the Torricella fortification, in close proximity to Montegabbione, of the Murale hillock, in the vicinity of Montegiove, and of the hillock of the cross at Castel di fiori. These are settlements that, according to some archaeological studies conducted, can be dated to the Bronze Age. Finds from Etruscan, Roman and Late Imperial times are indicative of continuous habitation of our area. Researchers mark the beginning of the occupation of Montegabbione at the end of the first millennium, for reasons still unknown for certain but assume the displacement of the population for defensive reasons to higher points like the tops of the hills of Montegabbione, Montegiove and Castel di Fiori. However, there is no certain information about the date of the foundation of the castle and the fortified village of Montegabbione, but it is likely to be dated to the 11th century.

  • Marian Activities for the Month of May
    Marian Activities for the Month of May It is a Catholic tradition to celebrate May as the Month of Mary. Our Blessed Mother Mary received special grace from God, accepted her special role in Jesus’ life and in Salvation history as the Mother of God, and was given to us by Jesus as our Blessed Mother. She continues to inspire us by her perfect example of virtue and discipleship and to prayerfully intercede for our needs. As Our Lord honored His mother, so do we. During this month, let us learn more about Our Lady and engage in prayerful devotions and fun activities to honor her. Below are information and links for Marian activities for your family during the month of May. Included are Scripture passages related to Our Blessed Mother Mary, Titles of Our Lady, Apparitions of Our Lady, Marian prayers, crafts, activities, recipes, and reflections. These items are sectioned into five themes to tie the activities together each week. There are enough activities to do one each day or you are welcome to mix whichever activities your family would enjoy most into your weeks as you’d like. Please share pictures of your May Crowning celebrations and Month of Mary activities with our Holy Name family by emailing them to [email protected] and ​ ​ [email protected]. ​ Theme: May Crowning May 1st - May 3rd - As Catholics, we honor our Blessed Mother Mary as the Queen of Heaven and Earth (Mother of Jesus Christ, King of the Universe).

The accompaniment of a caring and responsible father does not mean being overprotective, possessive or overbearing.

    (003/29) San Giovanni in Laterano St. John at the Lateran Piazza di San Giovanni Laterano (003/29) The official name is Archbasilica of the Most Holy Saviour and Sts. John the Baptist and the Evangelist at the Lateran, Cathedral of Rome, Mother and Head of all churches (003/29) History: On the façade, an inscription proclaims that this is SACROSANCTA LATERANENSIS ECCLESIA OMNIUM URBIS ET ORBIS ECCLESIARUM MATER ET CAPUT, "The Most Holy Lateran Church, Mother and Mistress of all churches of the city and the World". It is the first cathedral of Rome, where Emperor Constantine allowed the Pope to set up the episcopal chair after 312. The first mention in ancient sources is from 313, when a consistory of bishops was held in domum Faustae in Laterano. This refers to Fausta, Constantine's second wife, who was a convert. It is the first church not only in Rome but in the Christian world. The Popes lived in the Lateran palace until Clement V (1305-1314) transferred the papal seat to Avignon. After the return of the Pope to Rome in 1377, the Vatican palace was chosen as the papal residence. In this area, once stood a palace belonged to the Laterani family. Their house stood near the Basilica, probably towards the current Via Amba Aradam, and covered the entire land area that also includes the current basilica area. According to the "Annals" of Tacitus in 65 A.D. the palace and land was confiscated by the Emperor Nero, as Plautius Lateran, appointed consul for the year 65, conspired against the emperor himself in the conspiracy called the "Pisoni".
