Key Points:
Priests and religious play a vital and unique role in the health and healing of the Church
A Church without religious sisters is like a family without a mother
No matter our state of life, we are not meant to be living for ourselves. Our hearts are made to be lived for another
Friends of the Bridegroom seeks to bring God’s glory forth by awakening a movement in the Church for the restoration of the Bride. When the Bride radiates, everyone understands their place within it.
Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving are three ways we can offer a penitential sacrifice for the renewal of the Church.
