A Catholic icon is a representation of the image of such holy figures as the saints, Mary, Jesus and other religious figures, in the form of a painting.

For example certain iconic figures always have halos, such as Mary or Jesus, Read More

Fr. Glenn: Ah, Javert…

By Fr. Glenn Jones:

A favorite movie of the 1990s was that version of Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables” starring Liam Neeson and Uma Thurman, with Geoffrey Rush as the very severe police inspector Javert.
