Greatness in Life and Death: The Georgia Martyrs

Last updated on: September 14, 2026 at 4:39 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

These are the notes of a homily delivered on September 13th, 2026, one day before the anniversary of the martyrdom of Friar Pedro de Corpa, and just a few weeks before the Beatification Ceremony which will take place in Savannah, Georgia. The day after elected Pope in 2005, Pope Benedict received a group of German pilgrims at the Vatican.  Among the thoughts he shared with them were these words which have become well known: “The world offers you comfort, but... Read more

The Catholic Unity of Faith and Reason

Last updated on: August 20, 2026 at 3:23 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

The Catholic Church is not afraid of human knowledge because it boldly professes that whenever one seeks truth regardless of discipline, one seeks He who is Truth, Jesus Christ.  Contrary to the widespread assumption that religion is irrational and opposed to the pursuit of knowledge, the Catholic Church has historically been a champion of education.  Though there are Christian groups today who find a foundational contradiction between faith and reason, this has not been nor is the position of the... Read more

Una vida de dedicación: Lecciones del Padre Fred

Last updated on: July 7, 2026 at 10:33 am   By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

Siendo aún un sacerdote recién ordenado, le comenté a mi párroco, el Padre Fred Nijem, que percibía estaba dedicando demasiado tiempo en preparar mis homilías dominicales. No esperaba gran cosa en su respuesta, pero imaginaba que tal vez diría algo como: «no te preocupes demasiado; deja que el Espíritu Santo haga su trabajo». El Padre Fred respondió con su habitual brevedad, con una sola palabra: «bien». Tras reponerme de su respuesta —que me tomó por sorpresa—, añadió: «es bueno esforzarse... Read more

A life of Dedication: Lessons of Father Fred

Last updated on: July 10, 2026 at 11:33 am   By Father Pablo Migone

This article is in memory of Monsignor Fred Nijem who died earlier this year.  He was my first Pastor after ordination in 2009. Still a newly ordained priest, I mentioned to my pastor, Father Fred Nijem, that I felt I was spending too much time working on my Sunday homilies.  I did not expect much of a response from him, but I imagined he might say something along the lines of, “do not worry too much, let the Holy Spirit... Read more

Martyrs of the Gospel: Pedro de Corpa and Companions

Last updated on: June 18, 2026 at 3:57 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

As I stepped out of the chapel at Franciscan University of Steubenville sometime in 2002, a light-brown brochure lying on a large table among countless prayer cards and pamphlets caught my eye—The Georgia Martyrs. I had never heard of these martyrs. Having been raised in Augusta, Georgia, I assumed they must be from the distant country of Georgia in the Caucasus.  I was stunned to quickly realize the pamphlet told the story of five Franciscan friars who had been martyred... Read more

God’s Grace Behind Bars

I often consider that the most forgotten members of society are the incarcerated.   This is likely because many do not consider them part of society anymore – they have been confined to oblivion to pay for their crimes.  The truth however is that the incarcerated, even those who have committed heinous crimes, are very much part of society.  Their crimes do not diminish or erase their human dignity.  If there is a place where the Church needs to preach the... Read more

Jesús nos dice que solo él es la puerta para sus ovejas – el resto son ladrones y bandidos.  Todo el que salta por otro lado para entrar, es un ladrón.  ¿Qué es lo que encontramos detrás de la puerta que es Jesús?  El nos lo dice claramente en el pasaje del evangelio: la salvación, la vida en pleno. Nosotros los bautizados, los que estamos aquí buscando de mantenernos fieles a Jesús y su Iglesia, frecuentando los sacramentos y acercándonos... Read more
