Encountering and Walking With Pope Francis
by Alex Boucher

"I am excited to return next week to the campus of my alma mater, The Catholic University of America, where Pope Francis will celebrate the Mass of Canonization of Junipero Serra on the steps of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. This Mass will make history, as it is the first canonization Mass to take place on U.S. soil and the first papal Mass to take place on a U.S. university campus."

Feast Day: Sts. Cyprian and Cornelius 

Feast Day: September 16

Today the Church commemorates St. Cyprian, pope and martyr, and St. Cornelius, bishop and martyr. Both worked together in the service of Christ and his Church by defending the papacy. After being elected pope, Cornelius had to oppose Novatian, the first anti-pope. Helped by St. Cyprian, Cornelius confirmed his papal authority. He was beheaded in exile at Civitavecchia, Italy in 253. 

Quote:
"If we are the heirs of Christ, let us abide in the peace of Christ; if we are the sons of God, let us be lovers of peace" 
-St. Cyprian, The Unity of the Catholic Church
