SUMMARY:The Feast of the Chair of St. Peter
DESCRIPTION:The Vatican website explains that today’s feast highlights the Chair of Saint Peter (Cathedra Petri)\, symbolizing the mission Jesus entrusted to Peter. The cathedra\, a fixed seat of the bishop\, is placed in the mother church of a diocese\, giving rise to the word “cathedral.” The feast commemorates Peter\, martyred as bishop of Rome. The chair symbolizes a bishop’s authority to protect the flock and transmit the teaching of the gospel as successors of the apostles. Members are encouraged to pray for Pope Francis\, the bishop of Rome\, who occupies the chair of the Basilica of St. John Lateran\, the cathedral church of Rome. \n \n  \nhttps://www.marquette.edu/faith/prayers-new-pope.php

SUMMARY:International Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking
DESCRIPTION:St. Josephine Bakhita\, born in Sudan in 1869\, was kidnapped at age nine and sold into slavery. Her captors gave her the name “Bakhita\,” meaning “fortunate.” She endured brutal treatment\, being sold multiple times. At 14\, she was bought by an Italian consul whose kindness led to her conversion to Christianity. She was baptized as Josephine and chose religious life after gaining freedom in adulthood. Her memorial\, celebrated on February 8th\, is an occasion to pray for victims of human trafficking and continued awareness and advocacy against it. \n  \n \n

The theme for this year is\, Do you believe this? (John 11-26) in recognition that 2025 marks the 1700th anniversary of the first Christian Ecumenical Council held in Nicea\, Constantinople.

SUMMARY:St. Andre Bessette (Memorial)
DESCRIPTION:Following the Epiphany of the Lord\, Catholic Canadians memorialize St. André Bessette and his deep devotion to Saint Joseph. Known as Brother André\, he was the porter at College Notre Dame in Montreal\, welcoming visitors and inviting them to pray through St. Joseph’s intercession. This led to the creation of a small chapel\, which later became St. Joseph’s Oratory. As the patron of family caregivers\, St. André’s intercession for the sick and afflicted can be sought by praying the attached prayer.
