Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

parkerIn the season of Easter we are caught up in a rapture of brilliance, a spiral of vibrant color and newness of life. We delight in heralding, “Christ is Risen! Hallelujah!” Somehow, life is happier and refreshed.

NEWSOMEMay is a month especially dedicated to the Blessed Mother. Mary’s role in the life of the Church is a point on which many of our Protestant brethren are confused. They may accept the biblical text that all generations will call her blessed (Lk 1:38) but fail to understand the special place that Mary has in the hearts of many Catholics and in our traditional devotions.
