As we all take precautionary measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, we are all finding ourselves at home. Those with children and educators find themselves with the need to continue educating their children and/or students. While St. Cornelius has a plan to ensure students stay on track in their education using different forms of distance learning, use WHYY’s resources to add to their education. 

March 19 celebrates the life of Joseph, Mary’s husband and earthly father to Jesus Christ. While it is not a holy day of obligation for Catholics in the United States, it is still important to celebrate Saint Joseph and his role in Jesus’ life. 

We celebrate St. Patrick’s Day on March 17. St. Patrick, the Patron saint of Ireland, brought Christianity to Ireland.  It is believed he was born in Roman Britain (what is now Britain under Roman rule) to a deacon father. He was kidnapped at 16 and made a slave to Gaelic Ireland for six years and found God in this time. He escaped back home, became a priest, returned to Ireland with Christianity.
