“Beer is made by men, wine by God!” -Martin Luther “I cook with wine; sometimes I even add it to the food.” -W. C. Fields When I began my journey into the Old Catholic church and eventually the path toward priesthood in the Independent Sacramental Movement, my first mentor offered an observation about the clergy […]

A Journey Home

April 2, 2017April 2, 2017 The Rev. Father Andrew SmithLeave a Comment on A Journey Home

I never thought when I entered college as a Religion major in 1979, that 30 some years later I would be an Old Catholic priest. I did not grow up Catholic. I was a member of the United Church of Christ. My plan was to finish college, go on to seminary and become a UCC […]

Evangelism Comes to Saint Miriam this Lent

April 2, 2017June 29, 2017 The Right Rev. James St. George, OSFoc

Since the Holy Father, Pope John Paul II, called the Church to a new “horizon of evangelization,” there has been increased interest in the mission of evangelization.

April 2, 2017April 2, 2017 Rev. Father Timothy WarrenLeave a Comment on Lenten Reflections

Lenten disciplines, like New Year’s resolutions, often start out with a great bang only to fizzle out after a couple of weeks. But don’t despair, that’s not a reason to lose hope or beat yourself up. It is a reminder, however, of our human frailty and need for Christ. After all, this is what Lent […]

The ‘browning of America’ is […]

Where is your event horizon?

April 2, 2017April 2, 2017 Rev. Father Timothy WarrenLeave a Comment on Where is your event horizon?

An individual’s event horizon is one’s ability to set future goals. The further one’s event horizon extends, the more likely that person will experience success. Conversely, those whose event horizons are short sighted tend to live day to day, with no real tangible goals for the future. Monarchs such as Queen Elizabeth II of Great […]
