Are you a man dedicated to forming yourself in the Faith and growing in virtue? Are you seeking to make a life of virtue the very heart of who you are? Do you look to the Sacred Heart of Jesus as an example of what your heart strives for? The Knights of Columbus has launched its Order-wide Cor Initiative to aid men in accomplishing this goal.

Cor, which is the Latin root word for heart, is the name chosen for this initiative to form men. It has been chosen because the goal of Cor is that men will take the formation offered and make it the very heart of who they are. Cor involves a monthly gathering of approximately an hour that is open to all men and focuses on prayer, formation, and fraternity. Prayer can consist of a Rosary, Divine Mercy Chaplet, Lectio Divina, or many other options. Formation can consist of any material that focuses on helping men become better Catholic men, such as “Into the Breach” or books on St. Joseph. Fraternity can focus on spending time building relationships with the other men participating and getting to know them better through conversation, games, or other fun activities. The world is in need of well-formed men and Cor is here to provide such formation.

At Holy Rosary, the Knights of Columbus are coordinating this initiative and meet on the 4th Monday of each month at 7:00 PM in the Fireplace Room of Aquinas Hall. All men are invited. Join the Flocknote group for updates!

All who would like to be blessed with a relic of St. Juan Macias, OP, are welcome to attend the 12:00 PM Mass on his feast day, Friday, September 18. The blessing will follow immediately after Mass. Born on March 2, 1585 in Spain, St. Juan Macias is one of the lesser-known saints of the Order of Preachers. Like his friend St. Martin de Porres, Juan was not a priest, but a faithful friar who preached the Gospel in ways hidden to most. On January 22, 1622, Juan received the Dominican habit at the Priory of La Magdalena in Peru, where he served as porter. Although he preferred solitude and contemplation, he would provide food for those who came to the priory in need, sometimes over 200 people a day. He also had an unusual way to raise money. Tradition tells us that he trained a donkey to travel throughout town and collect alms from the usual benefactors to the priory. Juan died on September 16, 1646, and a miracle occurred during his funeral shortly thereafter, when a deaf priest used Juan’s hand to bless his ear, and his hearing was restored.

NEW ADULT CATHOLIC EDUCATION CLASS St. Augustine: A Companion in a Time of Transition

Our fall and winter Adult Catholic Education class (ACE) is an introduction to the life, thought, and times of Augustine of Hippo—convert, bishop, preacher, and teacher for Christians living through times of cultural change.

Coates was welcomed home to the Catholic Church Easter 2026. He has taught Bible, theology, and church history at institutions around the world, most recently Loyola Chicago.
