Eden Hill is one holy place to be on Dec. 8. I realize this is a tautology: the Hill is like that every day. December 8, though, is special for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.
Our Holy Father says every faithful person should respond to the mission appeal and not see it simply as a task for "specialists." Please consider helping the Marians' worldwide ministries.
We conjure a delightful Marian moment that will not rate mention in any sports almanac or spiritual journals. Yet it sets records for what it tells us about a beautiful band of brothers.
