St. Martin of Tours

Father Matthew Tomeny, MIC shares the inspiring story of a soldier-saint, St. Martin of Tours (feast day: Nov. 11), whose life shows us what it truly means to serve, both God and neighbor. Then hear Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, in conversation with Bishop Joseph Coffey, an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese for the Military Services, U.S.A.

Today on Saints in Focus, Br. Stephen, MIC, teaches us about the life of St. Martin of Tours. His feast day is celebrated on November 11.

Our non-Catholic brethren often claim that our Catholic faith is not based on the Bible, and is even contrary to it. Not true, as Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains, sharing how the Catholic Church used her authority from Jesus Himself to put together the Bible as we know it today. Then hear the inspiring story of Ginny Schrappen and her prison pen pal, and how following the Bible transformed both of their lives.

Saint Martin of Tours reflects concretely into our day the virtues of peace and charity. He never compromised on the truth, but was always careful to love the sinner even as he condemned the sin.
