There are few words that can describe the shock I feel to see our Capitol Building occupied by violent and unlawful rioters earlier today. As Americans, we shou...ld be deeply disturbed to see such an important symbol of freedom and liberty in our nation violated in such a way. Our nation is better than such behavior. The peaceful transfer of power is one of the most important and revered aspect of our democracy. We must recommit ourselves to the values we hold dear as Americans: democracy, freedom, and peace. As people of faith we condemn violence in all its forms as a moral betrayal of the Gospel. We also know that our nation needs prayer, now more than ever, so that we may always remain one nation, under God. In that spirit, please join me tonight in praying for the United States during this unprecedented and frightening time in our history. Let us pray for peace in our communities, in our capital, in our Country, but most of all, in our own hearts.

I am raising money to cover the cost of my Eagle Scout project. My project is to put up a flagpole at St. John the Evangelist Church prayer garden with flags to honor our country and our first responder organizations. Please help me by donating to my cause to build a lasting tribute to our country and community.... Thank you, Liam

Pope Francis has declared a special Year of Saint Joseph. That's good news because we need to give him more attention. He was a man of obedience who found out God's will and did it.
