Pilgrim Church On Earth
When the priest refers to the “pilgrim Church on earth” in the Eucharistic Prayers we here at Mass, what does he mean? While on pilgrimage in Lourdes, France, we invited His Excellency The Most Reverend Paul Loverde, Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Arlington, to join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth of the FRENCH Catholic Cafe to explain what it means to be a Church on pilgrimage and how we can each live our own life as a pilgrimage as well.
Going On A Pilgrimage

Get Confirmed
Have you been Confirmed? Did you ever wonder what you are missing if you haven’t been Confirmed? And, if you have been Confirmed, are you actually using the gifts you have received?

Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they discuss their recent Easter Vigil experience, the ancient meaning of the vigil Mass and how we can learn a lot about how holy Mother Church calls us to live our everyday lives as lives of anticipation.
The Breaking Of The Bread
Most of us have heard the biblical story of the two disciples who meet Jesus along the road to Emmaus. Perhaps we’ve heard the story so many times that we fail to pay attention to all the details. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they move line through line through the story, and offer some insights about truly knowing Jesus through the breaking of the Bread.
Humility
We all remember the song, “O Lord, it’s hard to be humble…when you’re perfect in every way!” It’s funny to sing about, but humility is, unfortunately, a little too rare these days. Living a true life of humility is challenging. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the challenges to humility, and offer their top ten suggestions for helping you work on your own personal humility.
The Virtue Of Listening
Do you want to solve all the world’s problems? (Well, at least the BIG ones?) Perhaps we should start by “listening” to all the various points of view out there. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss the virtuous gift of listening and how it could literally change the world as we know it.
