Tomorrow we remember St. Andrew: Galilean fisherman, first called by Jesus, and brother of Peter. He shared the Gospel widely. Patron of Scotland, fishermen, and those who quietly lead others to faith.

On Sunday we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King — a reminder that true power is found not in domination, but in love, mercy, and service. As the liturgical year ends, we look toward the reign of peace and justice that Christ calls us to build.
