  • The blog header depicts an important and yet mis-understood New Testament scene, Jesus flogging the money-changers out of the temple. I selected it because the faith that gives us consolation can also make us very uncomfortable. Both Divine Mercy and Divine Justice meet in Jesus. Priests are ministers of reconciliation, but never at the cost of truth. In or out of season, we must be courageous in preaching and living out the Gospel of Life. The title of my blog is a play on words, not Flogger Priest but Blogger Priest.

Fannie Mae Walk for the Homeless

Posted on September 21, 2012 by Father Joe

Come and join us tomorrow.  I am offering the Opening Prayer and YES, I am walking, too!

If you cannot walk you can follow the link and donate for yourself or under the name of a walker, like me!

You can register online ahead of time for Catholic Charities at http://www.catholiccharitiesdc.org/hth

We can now encourage everyone to register early – that way 100% of the donation goes to Catholic Charities.

But everyone who comes to register at the park will be very welcome and appreciated!  And it’s a joint fund-raiser – so all three organizations (Catholic Charities, Community Crisis and United Communities Against Poverty) will share those registrations and funds.

Registration on site begins at 9:30 AM (Allen Pond Park, Bowie, MD).

First 300 kids get free basketballs.
