The Feast of the Assumption marks the 35th Anniversary of EWTN! Here is the gift of the new liturgical vestments for the Franciscan Friars at EWTN that will be worn by the main celebrant. They were lovingly made by Sue Newman of Morning Glory Embroidery in collaboration with Preborn Jesus Ministry, Jesus - The Divine Mercy Foundation, Rev. Mother Rose Catherine Marshall, F.J. of Mary Ark of the Covenant Monastery in Steubenville, OH, and EWTN viewers. Tune in to EWTN on Monday for the Feast of the Assumption Mass at 8 a.m. or 6:30 p.m., as we hear the words of Scripture proclaimed: "Then God's temple in heaven was opened and the ark of the Covenant was seen within His temple... And a great sign appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars."

Happy to be part of the New Evangelization...especially in the Birmingham airport! 

As with every mission trip, we performed works of mercy and visited Our Lady of Joyful Hope Comunita Cenacolo, a community for men wanting healed from addictions.

Arrived at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, Hanceville, AL. Went through the Holy Door and prayed before Jesus in The Most Blessed Sacrament and at Mother Angelica's tomb.

Part of the fun on this trip has been seeing the surprised looks on the faces of people as they notice our statue. John's was one of the best!

Closing Mass with Fr. Chris Alar MIC. What a powerhouse!!
