Saint Joseph Protector of Christ, Model for Families

Last updated on: April 23, 2026 at 3:17 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

The twentieth century Spanish Saint Saint Josemaría Escrivá de Balaguer suggested that the most important male saint of the church is not a martyr, a priest or a bishop.  The most important saint is a father, a husband and a worker – Saint Joseph.  The reason Saint Josemaría gave was that Saint Joseph was given the critical and singular task to protect the presence of God in the world by protecting Jesus. When Saint Joseph decided to divorce the Virgin... Read more

Seeking God at Christmas

Last updated on: December 26, 2025 at 4:13 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

Where do you look for God? Where do you feel most connected or closest to Him?  In what place?  Doing what? There was once a very wealthy king in the Middle East who had a vast, powerful kingdom.  He always looked for opportunities to increase his wealth, but he also had great desire to grow closer to God in the spiritual life, but he didn’t seem to be very successful at it. One night, the king woke up and heard... Read more

Esta noche, venimos con mucha fe y devoción como todos los años, a los pies de María de Guadalupe, nuestra madre. La reconocemos como la mujer del Apocalipsis, la mujer envuelta por el sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y con una corona de doce estrellas en la cabeza.  Reconocemos que ella fue escogida de entre todas las mujeres para dar a luz al Hijo de Dios que ha vencido al enorme dragón, a Satanás.  Ella es verdadera reina... Read more

The Persistence of Time

Growing up, hanging in the living room of my house was a metal square clock with red numbers and a pale white background.  The clock was quite unusual, always making it a conversation piece.  The numbers were not in the correct place – it appeared as if they had been shaken up and fallen out of place.  Most were jumbled on the lower right-hand side of the clock.  Another clock ticked in the dining room.  At night, I could hear... Read more

I came from a third world, failed state

Last updated on: November 29, 2025 at 7:35 pm   By Father Pablo Migone

0 Comments

I was born in what many consider a third world country.  I left that country at a time when it was considered by the whole world a failed state.  Inflation in 1988 was 1,722%.  By the early 90s, local currency would lose half of its value overnight.  Terrorist groups controlled the majority of the national territory.  The state could not guarantee the security of its citizens. For years now, I have pointed out that the increasingly vehement rhetoric about immigrants... Read more

Recuerdo bien mi primera celebración de Acción de Gracias cuando tenía solo nueve años y recién había llegado a los Estados Unidos con mi familia.  Fuimos a casa de la hija de un primo de mi papá.  Por primera vez probé la comida tradicional de ese día: pavo asado con relleno, maíz, papa dulce o camote, pure de papas, salsa de arándanos y de postre pastel de calabaza.  Con el pasar del tiempo, no siempre preparábamos esta cena tradicional en... Read more

During the gathering of U.S. Bishops in Baltimore this week, the Bishops issued the statement below to address the current reality faced by immigrants.  Today is the feast of Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini who gave her life in the service of Italian immigrants who were marginalized and forgotten in the late 19th century.  Her spirit continues in the U.S. Church, as we respond to the needs of today’s immigrants.  As Jesus looked over the hungry crowd and felt compassion toward... Read more

Feeding the hungry at church

Last week, I was interviewed about the food pantry we run at my parish.  We assist mostly needy parishioners with food, diapers, hygiene products and occasionally with utilities.  When we opened it last year, it was in response to more and more requests for help from parishioners – I never imagined it would get the traffic it has received since January of this year.  It has grown from just one rack of canned goods in our parish kitchen, to one... Read more
