Saint Patrick
Berkeley, Friday, March 13, 2026 0:16 AM A brief novena. It this case, I actually would need to read something, because I know very little about Saint Patrick. Although, the contribution or information by the 2026 novena feast would be minimal, it is important I do start collecting facts. Even if it is a continuous […]
Saint Joseph Novena
Berkeley, Thursday, March 12, 2026 11:59 PM Writing in here it can be a vice. There is not much time now. By going through the stats on this website, I saw searches in the category “Catholic”. I do not know in detail how the searches and tracking work in this website. For instance, how one […]

St. Polycarp
Started briefly on Berkeley, Saturday, February 14, 2026 7:02 PM [But updated on February 15]. Brief, and likely, shallow, nine to ten days of prayer in honor to a Saint, it is not enough to know him or her. Yet, I always wonder and admire those people who has preserved the faith with their talents […]
Blessed Jordan of Saxony (c1190 – 1237)
Berkeley, Monday, February 2, 2026 6:28 PM Feast day: February 13 I recall reading long time that Blessed Jordan of Saxony was an excellent preacher. I wonder where I read it.
