Flowers are blooming, the mercury is climbing, gardens are beginning to produce, and the characteristic “BOOM!” of fireworks is in the air - July has arrived! The Solemnity of the Most Precious Blood is this Sunday, July 7, and July as a whole is dedicated to the Most Precious Blood... what a wonderful way to celebrate summer!
True Restoration will continue with the series Iota Unum this month. Father Arnold Trauner will again join host Stephen Heiner in a continued examination of Professor Romano Amerio’s work Iota Unum.
