St Alphonsus Liguori: Founder of the Redemptorists

St Alphonsus Liguori is at the center of the story of the foundation, mission and charism of the Redemptorists. In his third talk in his series on Redemptorist spirituality and charism, Fr Greg May explores St Alphonsus’ long and exciting life.

Fr Greg has kindly provided access to a recording of the discussion as well as the slides he presented to the group at St Michael’s church in Chicago. The video presentation may be found at: St Alphonsus. Fr Greg’s slides may be found at: Slides – St Alphonsus.

Desert Reflections: Faith is like Wi-Fi

Fr Charlie recalls some of the themes he’s explored with us over his 14 years at Our Lady of the Desert: putting love first, agreeing to disagree, and being in partnership with God in prayer. Today he adds another. “Faith is like Wi-Fi. It’s invisible, but it has the power to connect you to what you need.”

Thank you, Fr Charlie, for connecting us to what we need.  Good luck in your new assignment.  We’ll miss you!
