2024 Eucharistic Rosary Congress

Monday Oct 7 - Sunday, Oct 13, 2024 -

Last year we had 22 parishes participate in some way to honor our Blessed Mother through Eucharistic Adoration and public recitation of the Rosary in the Archdiocese.

We support the efforts by helping promote your offerings and gather information for pilgrims to experience the Lord in your church.

Ep 39 - Alan Hommerding - "There are many gifts including yours. There are many gifts, not only yours."



Jen speaks with Award winning composer, Alan Hommerding, whose diverse output as hymn text writer, poet, and Senior Editor at GIA Publications about the disciplines of writing and humility formed throughout a lifetime of ministry work. Alan once referred to himself rather dismissively as a "Catechist with a Rhyming dictionary", but has spent his career striving to bring the work of evangelization and mission to everything he does.

Ep 38 - Teach a Sister, Touch the World - How Eucharistic devotion can transform the world.


Jen speaks with Sister Marie Pauline Demek, SCC, President of Assumption College of Sisters in Denville, New Jersey about the work of Evangelization accomplished at ACS as springing from the founder of the Sisters of Christian Charity, Blessed Pauline von Mallinckrodt.
