Hope in the Pope
In this video, we meet Laura Chavez from Los Angeles, who traveled to Chicago not just to see her son but to stand before the simple childhood home of Pope Leo XIV. What she found wasn’t extravagance or grandeur, but something far more powerful: a reminder that the Catholic Church is not perfect, but it is true. Laura shares her heartfelt reflections on faith, simplicity, and why Pope Leo XIV offers her such hope for unity in the Church. From humble roots to the Vatican, his story echoes a deeper call: live simply, love your neighbor, and return home to the faith. ✨ “This is the true church, not the perfect church… but we need our Catholics to come back home.”

The Road to Sanctuary
Most people know that priests are a vital part of the Catholic Church, but many don’t realize how much they do for their parish. This video tells the story of how Fr. Anthony Bus saved St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish from the brink of closure. A story of how he kept going forward in the name and grace of our Lady, the Virgin Mary, her Son, and ultimately God to restore the parish and turn it into a sanctuary despite all the struggles. It’s also the story of his journey in bringing peace and salvation to the people and bringing people to know God, to love God, and to serve God in the midst of all chaos in this difficult time in the world.

Should Catholics Use Social Media?
While some people say that technology doesn’t work well with our mission as Catholics, we believe that like any other saint or any person who lives a religious life, we can always use the tools available to us in our time, to evangelize. In our modern time, we are so blessed to have these tools that connects us in a way the we’ve never been connected before. Whatever medium or social media platform we use, we are always called to be the light of Christ in our day-to-day life. Whatever our job or our vocation is, social media is a way for us to easily share our faith with others and connect in a more intimate way with other Catholics. Meanwhile, it’s also always exciting to see the way that different Catholics all across the globe have answered that call, to bring the beauty and the truth to the platform.
