Today Berta Sabrio and I sit down and discuss the Virtual Convention at length. We unpack all of the different ways attendees will receive content, along with brainstorming how you can attend the Virtual Convention in the same “group” mindset as when you attend in-person.

This week continues our multi-part series celebrating the many Faces in which we see and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. Today we honor Our Lady of Guadalupe and Our Lady of Perpetual Help, and we hear from Dr. Gerardo Ramos and Christopher Ferraro, respectively.

Now this week we’re starting a multi-part series celebrating the many Faces in which we see and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. We’ll explore the different ways we honor her, both in feasts and cultures and devotions across the world. We begin with Dr. Neil Stahurski, a Polish organist who oversees the celebration of Our Lady of Częstochowa in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We then hear from Debbie Brown, a pastoral musician in Fairfax, Virginia, who went on pilgrimage to Knock, Ireland, and Međugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
