Greetings from River City. Cardinal Robert Burke began a 9-month Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe for help for the world. The website is novena.cardinalburke.com where you can get the special prayer that participants will be praying. We started on March 12 and will culminate on Our Lady’s Feast Day on December 12.
We hope you will join in this novena with the participants from all over the world. The prayer explains why we are asking Our Lady of Guadalupe for her blessed intercession.
The Mount Saint Mary College theatre group will present Kimberly Belflower’s “John Proctor is the Villain” from Thursday, April 11 through Saturday, April 13 at 7:30 p.m. each night in the Aquinas Hall Theatre, 330 Powell Ave. Admission is $5, or free with a Mount ID. Seating is limited and reservations are suggested. For tickets, call the box office at (845) 569-3273.
“John Proctor is the Villain” tells the story of a group of teenage students at a rural high school in Georgia as they explore The Crucible by playwright Arthur Miller. Holding a contemporary lens to the American classic, they begin to question who the hero of the story really is, discovering their own power in the process. And in the middle of it all, they find that sometimes, life imitates art.

“Right is right even if no one is doing it. Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.” Saint Augustine. May we know the difference. As always, I close with my prayers for God’s blessings on your heads, my dears.
