As the annual celebration of Halloween approaches, we are reminded of the importance of maintaining the Catholic meaning and purpose of all holy days, especially those which have been adopted and adapted by the culture around us. Over time, popular culture has made it difficult to discern the authentic spirit of this great feast, an important time when we, God's pilgrim church on earth, rejoice in the lives of all God's saints whom we wish to follow into eternal life.

Earlier this year, the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George (FSGM) from St. Catherine School and Parish were selected by Bishop David Konderla to be the Diocese of Tulsa and Eastern Oklahoma’s 2018 Lumen Christi “Light of Christ” nominee. Today, Catholic Extension announced that the Sisters were selected as one of eight finalists out of 47 nominees from 87 mission dioceses across the country.
