Priests are obliged to sincerely LOVE and CARE for the faithful. It is actually for the sake of the faithful that they renounced marriage and begetting of biological children; in order to always give to them 💯 ATTENTION (Cf. 1 Cor 7:31-32). This love and care for the faithful find concrete expression in the regular celebration
Dearest friends, there is a Catholic Culture that is fast eroding us; and that is Charity towards Priests and by extension, towards Seminarians and mission work.

Dearest friends, it is increasingly becoming obvious that our world is morally sinking because a number of Christians (Pastors and Faithful) are not ready to bear WITNESS to the TRUTH. Thus, many are sacrificing truth on the altars of POSITION, FAME and RICHES. Well, the fact remains that whenever a Christian fails to bear witness to
Dearest friends, it is possible that in the minds of some Catholics, this may be the question: What are we really expected to be doing now that the Lenten and Easter Seasons are over? Are we now into ‘Jolly’ Season’? Actually, our Christian Faith helps us to understand that there is no ‘holiday’ in our
Dearest friends, it is always easier to accept that the HARVEST is plentiful but what is quite difficult to understand is what makes the LABOURERS FEW.
