<![CDATA[Ora - the podcast of Madonna House Publications]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/ora-the-podcast-of-madonna-house Welcome to ORA, the podcast version of Restoration.

Restoration is the newspaper of the Madonna House Apostolate, the Catholic community founded in 1947 by Servant of God Catherine Doherty. The print edition of Restoration has been in continuous publication for over 75 years with ecclesiastical approval from the diocese of Pembroke.

The articles are drawn from the day-to-day life of our Madonna House Christian community. We don’t preach at you. We simply share with you our joys and struggles in trying to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ without compromise in today’s world.

This is his homily.

A few days after June 8, Fr. Holly announced the appointment of the new Bishop of the Diocese of Pembroke, Fr. Michael Brehl C.S.s.R.

We had a change of editors for Restoration. It was only the 5th time in 76 years. Catherine and Eddie Doherty were the original editors and founders of the paper. Then, between 1975 and 2023, came Fr. John Callahan, myself, Denis Lemieux (now Father Denis), and Paulette Curran. Teresa Reilander is the new editor and is already busily engaged at the task of putting together an 8-page newspaper 10 times a year.

Fr. David May
