On December 8 we celebrate the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. What exactly is the Immaculate Conception? According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church 490: "To become the mother of the Savior, Mary “was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role.” The angel Gabriel at the moment of the annunciation salutes her as “full of grace”. In fact, in order for Mary to be able to give the free assent of her faith to the announcement of her vocation, it was necessary that she be wholly borne by God's grace.

491: Through the centuries the Church has become ever more aware that Mary, “full of grace” through God, was redeemed from the moment of her conception. That is what the dogma of the Immaculate Conception confesses, as Pope Pius IX proclaimed in 1854:

The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin."

Join us to celebrate this Holy Day of Obligation tonight:

Do you feel like you’re being called to share moral truth, but don’t wanna be canceled. Come to Men’s R&D starting in December for a new series that teachers basic moral principles taught by the church and basic skills on how to engage others in conversation in a way that honors them and honors the truth. 1 Peter 3:15. It’s difficult, but not impossible. Are you up for the challenge? Watch this.

“Follow Me”: The Challenge of Mark’s Gospel

“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ [the Son of God].” Thus, begins the Gospel According to Mark. Unlike an historian, the evangelist does not seek to satisfy the reader’s curiosity or lack of knowledge with information; neither does he seek to entertain the reader for amusement as a novelist does. Rather, Mark announces Jesus. He confronts the reader with a person, the Messiah, in whom God is present and challenges the reader to follow this Messiah.

Join us as we study the Gospel According to Mark and reflect on the powerful message of the first written gospel.

Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life

The marvelous treasures of the Catholic Faith – the Eucharist, Mary, the saints, and the Creed – are all centered on a single figure: Jesus Christ. Jesus is more than a historical or theological figure. He is our Savior, our Redeemer, our Lord, and our God. While many of us already know a lot about him, how well can we say we really know him?

Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and the Life is a new and fresh look at Jesus, who he is, what he is really like, what he taught, and what he did for our salvation. This encounter with Christ will inspire and empower to center your entire life on him as you come to know and love him in an ever-deeper and more intimate way.
