Twenty-five years have passed since the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, sparking a renewed interest in this spiritual giant of the 20th century. Filmed on 5 continents and featuring unprecedented access to both institutional archives and the apostolates of the Missionaries of Charity, this film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ in the poor continues to be realized through the Missionaries of Charity today. This is far more than a documentary. It is at once a soaring tribute to a spiritual icon, a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity, and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times.

Obituary for Donald “Don” Henry Niesse

Donald “Don” Henry Niesse Obituary

Donald “Don” Henry Niesse, passed away at the age of 92 and one half, on September 21, 2021 at St. Luke’s Hospital, St. Louis, Missouri.

Don was a faithful Roman Catholic of both Our Lady of the Presentation and All Souls Parishes, St. Louis, MO, and he was an original and longtime faithful member of CREDO of the Catholic Laity in St. Louis.

Don was blessed as he died with the comfort of loved ones by his side and attending to him in his last days and up to his last moment on God’s earth. Don had a wonderfully holy death; dying as he lived, being fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church and an Apostolic Blessing and wearing his Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mount Carmel on his last day.

Upcoming St. Padre Pio Movie

Excerpt from New Liturgical Movement Article: Joy and Hope, Mourning and Anguish

Friday, August 26, 2022 – GREGORY DIPIPPO

Imagine most of our readers have already seen at least one particular section of the interview which the actor Shia LaBoeuf gave yesterday to His Excellency Bishop Robert Barron. But if you have only seen or read the part in which he talks about the role the traditional Latin Mass played in his recent conversion, and his appreciation of it, I would very strongly urge you to listen to the whole thing, which is incredibly moving and interesting.

New Carmelite Novena: Sat. July 9 — Sun. July 17, 2022

All the glory to God – please see the new Carmelite Novena schedule below for revised details on their fruitful, 74 year-old, lay initiated, St. Louis Catholic tradition! 

IMPORTANT: Please note – Bishop Stika is no longer scheduled to be offering, nor will he be the homilist for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, this Tuesday.  To this end we praise God for our alert and fearless St. Louis Catholic lay and religious.  Thankfully, our dear Father Timothy Elliott of St. Gianna’s Parish, will now be the priest in Bishop Stika’s stead!  

This a beautiful example of how lay people are able to make a difference in defending our Catholic Church and faith.  Please take a moment to send Reverend Mother Marya a note of thanks for listening to and responding to our deep concerns on this matter. (Carmel of St. Joseph, 9150 Clayton Rd., St. Louis, MO  63124)

See the following link for Carmelite details and stay tuned for more from CREDO!

He was steadfast in his CREDO work until he could not physically carry on actively, he remained interested and devoted to the end. He was loved by all he touched by his strong Catholic faith and will be always fondly remembered and sorely missed by the CREDO community.
