We remember the four chaplains who saved 230 soldiers on the sinking Dorchester in 1943 during WWII. Giving up their own life jackets, they prayed until their last breath.

Amidst the horrors of war, Catholic Chaplains have always been on the frontlines with their fellow American soldiers.

Like, Venerable Emil Kapaun; a Korean War Army Chaplain who secretly said Mass and the rosary nightly to his fellow POWs before dying of malnutrition.

BREAKING: Rep. Thomas Massie has been unseated by AIPAC’s Ed Gallrein in what is now the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. In his concession speech Massie said the following:

"What happened today is God's will and we have to figure out what His purpose was for having the biggest fight ever. What is He showing us tonight?"

Voice from the Crowd:
"We’re just getting started!!"

Massie Responds:
"I like that!"

God Bless Rep. Massie and the movement that has been created to fight for America. He won the young people vote by a landslide promising a bright hope for the future.

ANNOUNCING: 🙏🇺🇲
Catholic Champion Priests of America Retreat – 2nd Annual!
October 13th-14th, 2026
Champion, Wisconsin

NB: The only Retreat for Priests at an approved Marian Apparition Site in the United States. 🙏🇺🇲

We’re excited to announce the 2nd annual Champion Priest for America Retreat, to take place October 13th–14th in Champion, Wisconsin. This retreat is one of a kind for priests, offering them the chance to spend time at the only approved Marian apparition site in the United States.

FOR MORE INFO:
mediatrixusa.org/events/champion-priests-for-ameri…

109 years ago today, Our Lady appeared to three young children in Fatima, Portugal, but 58 years earlier, She chose to appear in America with a simple and yet very powerful message:

“Gather the children in this wild country and teach them what they should know for salvation. Teach them the Faith!”

Leading the retreat this year for the priests will be Father Chris Alar, who serves as the Provincial Superior of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception, headquartered at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. He is the producer of the widely popular Divine Mercy 101 DVD and hosts a highly followed YouTube series where he breaks down complex Catholic theology, Church history, and devotional practices. He is also a frequent guest on Newsmax and other media outlets. He is loved by priests around the country.

Catholics for Catholics and our partner organization, Mediatrix Services Foundation, are committed to gathering the children in the wild country of the United States. On the front lines of this battle are our beloved priests. They work 24/7 to bring us the Sacraments.

We are committed to helping these warriors get some time off the line to recharge. To do this, there is no better place than to bring them to Our Lady herself at her Shrine in Champion. She formed the Heart of Christ and knows perfectly well how to console and fortify the hearts of her sons.

INVITE YOUR PRIEST:

The Catholic Church and America are at a crucial point in history. We should not be afraid but should be resolved to do our part for the evangelization of this country. And if you’re afraid, you have only to remember the words of Mary, who said,

“Go and fear nothing, I will help you.” Our Lady of Champion, pray for us!

*Space is limited to first 50 Priests to Register

DAILY HOLY MASS:
"Give us this day our daily bread"
Matthew 6

Day after day, hundreds of thousands of Catholic priests around the world get up early in the morning to offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass to their flocks. Some parishes are urban, with massive attendance. Others are remote, lost in some African village with a handful of attendees. It just never gets old.

Yet all of them are the same. They offer the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is truly nothing like the Catholic Church. It is the Bride of Christ! How hard it is NOT to believe in Him.

Amidst the great scandals at times plaguing the human institution of the Church, never for a moment should we fail to see the countless good examples. How many saintly priests get up quietly every day without complaining to offer the faithful the sacraments. Think of the thousands of parish staff that work behind the scenes to make these daily masses happen. Or consider the faith of the little old ladies who hobble down to their pews each day with such love for the Lord and pray rosaries after Mass for the Church. How much they must please the heart of Christ.

In the Church we have saints and sinners. Actually, saints are sinners too but they become saints because they hold fast to the Daily Mass...that daily source of spiritual sustenance for the soul.

God forgive us for focusing too much sometimes on the negative and missing the greater picture of the overwhelming love of Christ. Truly eye has not seen nor ear heard what God has in store for those who love Him.

May we never ever grow accustomed to the easy access we have to Daily Mass especially here in the United States. Take advantage and while you're at it, remember to pray in Thanksgiving for all our priests who serve us night and day.

REPORT: Round One a Success! 1st Catholic Champion Crusade at the University of Tennessee reaches the next generation of Catholic patriots.

On Friday, May 1st, we hit the ground to engage with open Q&A with the students on the Catholic Faith. What I saw on the ground were young people hungry for this open conversation about what it means to be Catholic. The high percentage of young men that came tracks with the national statistics of young men coming back to Church.

We talked about a range of issues that were on their minds. Issues discussed ranged from the role of Mary, to the morality of IVF, to the meaning of relics, to the Catholic view on Zionism and other things.

Rounding off the event with the recitation of the Holy Rosary was a perfect way to witness to the hundreds of college kids who walked by on Campus.

Friday was a first. Catholics for Catholics is set to launch many of these when the fall semester begins. We need to take Christ to the heart of culture and work to convert the next generation of Americans. To convince someone of conservative principles is noble. But to help them find Christ in His Church is the greatest gift we can give someone!

REST IN PEACE: A Catholic Patriot and Legend, Bishop Rene Henry Gracida passes away this morning. He was 102 years old. 🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

I have some sad news to share.

Our team was up early this morning on our way to the University of Tennessee for our first ever “Catholic Champion Crusade.” When I checked my phone I received a message from the caretaker of a dear friend.

The message read:
“I’m so sorry. I lost Bishop tonight.”

I was stunned. Bishop Rene Henry Gracida, an American hero from World War Two, and the Country’s oldest bishop passed away at 102 years old in Corpus Christi, Texas. His story, from surviving over 30 missions as tailer gunner on a B17, to being one of the most courageous bishops in American history, makes him an absolute legend.

When I visited him just a few weeks ago, little did I know that my interview with him would be the last recorded one that he ever did. Over a century of service, and in that short visit we have recorded his last “homily” and words of wisdom for the new generation of Catholic patriots. I invite you to watch this video and let his words sink in.

WATCH: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fazEN...

Catholics for Catholics had just given Bishop Gracida the “Catholic Champion Award” at our annual Gala in Washington DC in recognition of his service to the Church and Country. We gave him the award on March 19th, Feast of St. Joseph, Husband of Mary. In a twist of God’s providence, Bishop Rene died, on May 1st, Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, the only other day that the Church honors St. Joseph.

What a beautiful end to a remarkable life with the hand of St. Joseph watching over him.

His death has hit me hard. I told him before leaving that he could rest easy because reinforcements were on the way. I said this not with an air of confidence that “we had everything under control”. In fact I said it with a bit of fear. Taking up the flag of the Faith from someone who had carried it so well for over a century is a daunting task.

But that is what we must do and that is what we are doing. Tonight, Catholics for Catholics will launch our 1st Catholic Champion Crusade. We will go to the heart of American culture, to our Universities to debate with our young people and invite them to become Catholic. We must do battle for Christ’s Church because souls are at stake.

Bishop Rene Henry Gracida has left us. We pray for the repose of his soul. If he is already in heaven, we ask him to pray for us here on earth so that we can fight for the Country and serve the Church with the same passion, grit, and humility that he did for so long.

Rest in peace soldier for Christ. You can head home. The next B17 Crew is up and ready for action.

God Bless and Fight On!
