July 31, 2017 by Cross Catholic Blog

Ignatius of Loyola was born in 1491, one of thirteen children in a family of minor nobility in northern Spain. He grew up at a time of great adventurers like Christopher Columbus and dreamed of gaining fame in battle, so he joined the army of Spain to do just that.  When Ignatius was severely wounded […]

St. Francis Xavier

December 3, 2015 by Cross Catholic Blog

The feast of St. Francis Xavier helps us understand what each of us must do to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus in the world today. In the words of the saint – just do what God asks you to do. Francis Xavier was born into an aristocratic family during a time of great political upheaval […]

August 5, 2014 by Cross Catholic Blog

Today we celebrate the feast of St. John Vianney, also known as the Cure’ of Ars.  His era was not unlike our own.  There was much confusion about life, greed, and a seeming lack of caring for truth and justice. Ordained a diocesan priest, John Vianney looked forward with hope to better days for the […]

Celebrating The Feast Day of St. Ignatius of Loyola

July 31, 2014 by Cross Catholic Blog

If you can read this, be thankful.  You have been gifted with an education. I’m especially thankful for that gift in my own life.  My education is one of my prize possessions.
