  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

St Michael's Lent

Lent is a time of spiritual renewal through prayer and penance. We’re now halfway across the year, making our way through summer. It’s time for a refresh, time to take up the weapons of our great spiritual battle. It’s time for St. Michael’s Lent.

August 15th-September 29th


St Michael is the leader of the heavenly armies and the protector of the faithful

Ways to observe St. Michael’s Lent include:
  • Daily Prayer: Pray the Litany of St. Michael or other prayers dedicated to him.
  • Penance: Choosing some kind of fast or choose something to give up to offer to God, such as waking up at dawn or abstaining from a specific food.
  • Charity: Find a way to demonstrate love to those most in need in a concrete way, such as through the corporal works of mercy.
  • Confession and Mass: Celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Holy Mass regularly in order to be open to God’s graces.
Our Lady of the Assumption, pray for us! St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle!
