In this issue:

Prayer:
When the well runs dry
Sooner or later, it happens to all of us. Sweet, consoling prayer gives way to a dry, distracted emptiness. Suddenly, we find no solace in prayer, no warm feelings, no divine revelations, no comfort.


Black Catholics:
Rooted in faith
Who are we, and Whose are we? They were two questions explored by Msgr. David H. Benz, pastor of St. Philomena Parish in Lansdowne, during a seminar on Black Catholic spirituality at the St. Peter Claver Center for Evangelization in Center City on March 10.

This Week's Issue


The Word Became Flesh
Cardinal Rigali's weekly column. Read it here.

The H.O.M.E. Page Café: More than just buns and coffee

Father Kevin Trautner is buried on St. Patrick’s Day
Father Kevin C. Trautner was buried on March 17, the feast of St. Patrick. He would have liked that.

Acknowledging ‘the best of the best’
They came out in droves to celebrate the 14th annual Catholic Youth Association (CYO) Hall of Fame ceremonies on March 13 at the Drexelbrook banquet hall in Drexel Hill.

Have violin, will pray
When he was in the third grade, Vincentian Father Michael T. Mazurchuk marched into the band room at his school in Buffalo, N.Y., thinking he’d find a trumpet to blow or a drum to beat.

There are plenty of books about the media written by insiders, but it’s rare to find one written by an insider who was also a victim of today’s toxic media environment.


Sports:

The $1.1 million youth athletic and activities center at Assumption B.V.M. Parish in Feasterville will soon be draping a new banner honoring its CYO boys’ basketball team’s championship win.


Fresh Faith:
