Hilliard Parish Plans Sunday Mass Schedule Changes

The articles highlight varied expressions of Catholic life, from parish worship and personal devotion to reflection on holiness and evangelization. Saint Brendan the Navigator Parish in Hilliard is adding an 8 p.m. Sunday Mass for people who work weekend shifts and moving its Saturday vigil Mass from 5:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. One reflection on All Saints’ Day emphasizes that holiness is also found in ordinary people who embody the Beatitudes through forgiveness, kindness and faithful care for others. In Phoenix, spiritual director Candida Kirkpatrick describes Eucharistic adoration as a source of healing that informs her ministry, while a Wilmington parishioner identifies the rosary and Mass as central to his spirituality. A separate opinion article argues that contemporary Catholicism’s public image can make it harder to explain the Church’s historical traditions to non-Catholics, underscoring tensions over how the faith is presented today.
