Portrait of Paul
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, Father Norman Langenbrunner tells us how St. Paul did what no

just that in his Letter to the Galatians.
Exploring Our Faith
In 1983, Elizabeth Ficocelli responded to an invitation from her future husband, Mark, to attend Mass on their college campus. Elizabeth began investigating the Catholic Church and later became a Catholic. In 2000, after working for 20 years in advertising, she began a new career in spiritual writing.
Since then, she has published books for both adults and children as well as articles in national Catholic magazines, including our own St. Anthony Messenger. She talked with producer John Feister about her visit to Lourdes and her book, Lourdes: Font of Faith, Hope & Charity,
published by Paulist Press.
