Editorial: Marriage season is here
07/12/23 4:18 pm
Amid all the splendor of a northern Minnesota summer, don’t miss one of its most beautiful aspects: weddings. It’s the time of year many couples choose to begin their lives together.
In our diocesan vocations prayer, alongside vocations to the priesthood, consecrated life, and permanent diaconate, we pray so often at Masses for an increase in “holy marriages in our diocese.” Society is undergoing a crisis of marriage and family. But it’s also true that the sacrament of marriage brings hope to society.

Inside the Capitol
Catholic social teaching espouses a preferential option for the poor and vulnerable. In the public policy context, this means that policies should first be evaluated based on how they will affect those most in distress (Matthew 25). It also means that addressing the needs of the poor and vulnerable should be one of the most important priorities in the legislative process, at whatever level of government.

The Diocese of Duluth will be discontinuing its televised Mass on WDIO-TV/WIRT-TV effective April 1. While this change will require some adjustment, live stream broadcasts of Mass from local parishes on the Internet are widely available, as are broadcasts on radio and cable television such as EWTN. Please let us know if you or a loved one need help accessing one of these broadcasts, and particularly if Communion visits and the other sacraments are needed for our homebound faithful. A complete list of live stream Masses from the Duluth Diocese is available at www.dioceseduluth.org/live-stream-masses.
