The Church teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mary, upon her death, was assumed into Heaven by the power of God. But how do we explain the Assumption, if we can’t find direct evidence of it in the Bible? Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he reveals how Scripture, Sacred Apostolic Tradition, and the Magisterium guide us Catholics in our way of life. Then be inspired by the story of the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, New Jersey, whose “Nightwatch” ministry is a lifeline to the elderly and infirmed.
The Divine Mercy website Marians of the Immaculate Conception website Many know Nathaniel Hawthorne as one of the most famous writers in American history. But did you know that his daughter, Rose, was a Catholic convert who founded her own religious order, and is on the path to sainthood? Sr. Diana Marie Andrews, O.P., herself a Catholic convert and vocation director for the Hawthorne Dominicans, shares how Rose Hawthorne, who took the religious name Mother Mary Alphonsa, had a love for Christ that overflowed into serving terminal cancer patients, and how that work continues to this day. Mother Mary Alphonsa died on July 9, 1926, and her cause for canonization was approved in 2003, meaning that she is being considered by the Catholic Church for possible formal recognition as a saint.

This past June, the GIVEN institute held their 2022 Catholic Young Women’s Leadership Forum near Philadelphia and invited Sr. Diana Marie to participate in a panel entitled “Recognizing the Gifts of Others While Unleashing Your Own”. The Forum is aimed at helping Catholic women to identify their unique gifts and use those gifts to serve and lead, rooted in the Gospel and their Catholic faith. Sister shared a short version of her conversion and vocation story with the women attending and thoroughly enjoyed her first experience at the Forum. It was a very beautiful event where women from different backgrounds and vocations all work to build one another up within the Church. You can see her portion of the panel here, and learn more about the GIVEN Institute here.
