Catholic Apostolate Center Newsletter
Greetings!
Whether this is your first Catholic Apostolate Center newsletter or you've been on this listserv since its beginnings, thank you for taking just a few minutes out of your day to visit with us! We would like to extend a special welcome to those who have recently joined us following the recent Mid-Atlantic Congress for Pastoral Leadership in Baltimore, Maryland. It was a pleasure to meet you at our booth and we hope to continually provide you with the best possible toolbox of resources to "Revive Faith, Rekindle Charity and Form Apostles."
This week marks a very exciting time in the Church! Our prayers continue for the Cardinal-electors who have entered into the Conclave, that the Holy Spirit will be present to them and guide them in this important decision. It seems that especially in this time of Sede Vacante, when the Chair of Saint Peter is empty, we are reminded of the wisdom and strength that Christ alone gives to the Church. As Cardinal Arinze said in a recent interview, "Our faith is not in the Pope, it is in Christ, who is the foundation of the Church. Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever. We are all servants who come and go. Christ does not come and go...without Christ the Church has no meaning."
We encourage you to visit our Conclave Portal which features up-to-date information from the Vatican, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, and Catholic news agencies across the globe. With great hope and faith in the Holy Spirit we await the proclamation, "Habemus Papam!"
In God, the Infinite Love,
The Catholic Apostolate Center Team
