Pope Leo XIV Advances Six Sainthood Causes: New Paths to Holiness | SG News In a major step toward recognizing holiness in the Catholic Church, Pope Leo XIV has advanced six causes for sainthood, honoring lives marked by deep faith, sacrifice, and service. On March 23, 2026, at the Vatican, decrees were authorized recognizing heroic virtue and the offering of life among several Servants of God. These individuals now hold the title “Venerable,” bringing them closer to sainthood. Among those recognized are Ludovico Altieri, a devoted Italian cardinal; Edward Joseph Flanagan, founder of Boys Town; Henri Caffarel, founder of Teams of Our Lady; Sister Stanisława Samulowska, known for Marian devotion; María Romero, a missionary religious; and Giuseppe Castagnetti, a faithful layman and father.

St Dismas, March 25th. ADPaul When the Jesuit, Fr Charles Dismas Clark died on 15 August 1963, the New York Times ran a long obituary with a two column headline: “Rev. C. Dismas Clark, 62, Dies; A Pastor of 3,500 Ex-Convicts.” It was a day on which tough men cried. According to Fr. Clark, the only person to whom Christ promised paradise is St.Dismas, the good thief. The Penitent Thief, also known as the Good Thief, Grateful Thief or the Thief on the Cross, is one of two unnamed thieves in Luke's account of the crucifixion of Jesus in the New Testament. The Gospel of Luke describes him asking Jesus to "remember him" when Jesus arrives at his kingdom. The other, as the impenitent thief, challenges Jesus to save himself to prove that he is the Messiah. He is officially venerated in the Catholic Church. The Roman Martyrology places his commemoration on 25 March, together with the Feast of the Annunciation, because of the ancient Christian tradition that Christ (and the penitent thief) were …More

Book of Isaiah 7,10-14.8,10b. The LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying: Ask for a sign from the LORD, your God; let it be deep as the nether world, or high as the sky! But Ahaz answered, "I will not ask! I will not tempt the LORD!" Then he said: Listen, O house of David! Is it not enough for you to weary men, must you also weary my God?

Joe Kent, former Director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, resigned on Tuesday in protest of the U.S. war in Iran. He described it as unjustified and lacking a clear threat. At the Catholic Prayer for America event, he said Americans have been misled about the war’s necessity. He also urged young Americans to make their voices heard in upcoming elections, saying they do not want this war either. A good Catholic who knows this war is unjust and a lie. And who is brave enough and honest enough to call trump out on an unjust war against innocent people who didn't pose a threat to anyone. GOD Bless him and all Catholics who are against this evilness going on in Iran against innocent people. And around the world. 'We were misled into war': Joe Kent speaks out
