Check out Our Lady’s website. It has a lot of interesting videos and
information about our Catholic faith and Church, including a link to a
lovely Christmas performances in the Concert for the Poor in the Vatican
earlier this month. In the presence of Pope Leo, the singer Michael

open to God’s word and filled with the Holy Spirit.
