by

REDEEMER LUTHERAN News:

This month marks the 490th anniversary of Luther’s evangelical catechisms.

While teaching at the University of Wittenberg in Germany, Dr. Martin Luther became aware of the lack of knowledge that the average Christian had regarding the basics of the Christian Faith. Thus, he wrote two evangelical catechisms, which were based on sermons he preached in 1528.

 A catechism is a simple handbook used for instruction. The first catechism appeared at the beginning of 1529. It was a concise summary of the Christian Faith to be used in the household. It is known affectionately Read More

Glenn in group hug as they exited IHM on Sundays. Heavy sigh. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Notre Dame

By Fr. Glenn

A very holy and blessed Easter season to all! May God keep all of you near His heart in this sacred Christian season.

One click to the news last week was one of those “heart sinking into the stomach” moments as we witnessed flames leaping from the Paris cathedral of Notre Dame. As a historic center of Catholic Christian worship for the nation of France, Europe and the world, and as one of the jewels of Christian artistry, it was like watching history itself go up in flames.

But then, as calls resounded for the rebuilding of that great gem of the faith, there were inevitable—nonetheless beautiful—analogies Read More
