Ask a Franciscan

Why does your online Saint of the Day feature have a different saint for that day compared to other books or websites? 

What book in the Bible should I read first so as not to get lost or give up? 

Over the past years, I have noticed a steady decline of the younger folks in the Catholic Church. Do you have any explanation for this exodus?

Are there some resources for the struggle I find myself experiencing: believing that my mom, who died several months ago, is indeed in heaven with God? 

Are we stifling the work of the Holy Spirit within the Church today? 

What do I tell the students in my CCD class when they ask me what the Catholic Church says about systemic racism?
