The Spiritual Battle for Our Souls
Every day we have the opportunity to choose good and reject evil. Because our society increasingly confuses good and evil it is more important than ever to spend some time learning about the spiritual battle we are all involved in.

Refuel Conference for Religious Educators is back! Take some time at Terra Sancta to refuel with the Lord as we navigate topics around the philosophy of the New Relativism and the impact of this on our work as evangelists and catechists. How do we answer the new challenges of our day and refute many of the erroneous ideologies of the age? With love, in a way that helps people see the true, good, and beautiful? Come join others from around the diocese as we learn how to unleash the power and beauty of the Truth of Jesus Christ and the Teaching of the Catholic Church!

Event Details
Today we pray for those consecrated to God by the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience that they may seek to live their baptismal promises more intensely and have the grace to persevere in their commitment to the Lord and serve with open hearts and willing spirits.
In 1997, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This day is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2. It will be celebrated in parishes the weekend of Feb 4-5, 2019. This feast is also known as Candelmas Day, the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples.
