Weekly Reflection: Zechariahs tongue was silenced because he did not believe the revelation of Johns birth. Later, when Zechariah affirmed the vision by naming his son John, his tongue was opened and he praised God. Zechariah was given a chance to redeem his disbelief. God gives each of us the same opportunity. Pray that your unbelief may become belief.

Paulist Fathers Mission Statement We give the Word of God a voice in pulpits and print, on radio and television, on the Web and the wide screen. We search out those who have no church home, and welcome home those who have been away. We share the passion of St. Paul for unity in faith and solidarity in mission among all the baptized in the body of Christ. We build bridges of respect and collaboration with people of other world religions. We welcome people of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds in our parish, city center and campus worshipping communities. The Gospel we preach calls for all the children of God to be treated with dignity and justice. We claim Isaac Hecker as our founder, the Holy Spirit as our primary guide, St. Paul as our patron and laity as our valued partners in mission. We are the Paulist Fathers.
