August 15, 2019

Studying the liturgy and Eucharist, I read that the Novus Ordo Mass is said, by some, to obscure the sacrificial signification of

How Catholic schools can convey the good news about marriage
August 08, 2019
From September 2020, secondary schools will be obliged to provide “relationships and sex education”.
