Fr. Chris Explains

Guardian Angels

The existence of angels is a dogma of our Catholic faith. And no one knows us better or loves us more than our Guardian Angel (it is perfect love), so you can always count on them. They are the guardians of our safety and salvation, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains, and they obtain for us the grace of final perseverance – if we are willing to cooperate with that grace.

Is Prayer Timeless?

The Catholic Church teaches that when someone takes their own life, it doesn’t mean that they automatically lose their soul.
