What's New

OCT 12, 2008: SUNDAY HOMILY (Preview)

IMMIGRATION is a big election year topic. Everybody has an opinion, but few ask What does God say? What does his Church teach? My homily for Oct 12 2008 provides a contemporary look at an enduring truth: The God who cares for the poor, widows and orphans cares for the immigrant! FOR THE COMPLETE HOMILY, CLICK THIS LINK: "BETTER HOMELAND"

EVERY FRIDAY! Father Barker's "WALKING WITH THE WORD" radio show!

LISTEN TO Father Barker LIVE ON-LINE each week Friday at 4 PM CST. Click on our homepage Radio Ministry link to hear "Walking with the Word" (East Texas, Louisiana and Ohio).

CULTURAL ICON OF ARGENTINA, our graphic artist: VICTOR LUCIANO REBUFFO+

UTILIZING XILOGRAPHIAS impresas con tacos originales, Victor Rebuffo illustrated LOS SANTOS EVANGELIOS (THE HOLY GOSPELS), published 1944. Of particular interest is the artist's preference for adorning the gospel stories with the vocabulary of Argentina's topography and flora.
