Prayer for the Conclave
Tomorrow, the Conclave to elect our new Holy Father will begin. This is an important moment for our Church. As the Cardinal-electors assemble and begin this sacred time of discernment, I invite all Knights to unite in prayer. Please join me in asking the Holy Spirit to guide the Cardinal-electors in choosing a shepherd who embodies Christ’s love and wisdom, using the prayer that the Church herself gives us:
Election of a Pope
RCL Benziger
The pope is the leader of the Church all over the world. The word pope comes from the Latin word that means “papa.” The pope is sometimes called the Holy Father.

Easter Message from the DRVC
Bishop Barres
A wealthy man and a member of the Sanhedrin, St. Joseph of Arimathea is one of those Gospel characters with a very brief but very important role. In John 19:38-42, we see that after Jesus' Crucifixion, Joseph of Arimathea asks Pilate for permission to take away Our Lord's Body. This was a bold and courageous act of faith from a man "seeking the Kingdom of God." (Mark 15:43)
