This year, 2021, has a special significance for our Archdiocese and for three Religious Orders whose members serve here. In 1911, 110 years ago, the Vincentian Order, officially known as the Congregation for the Mission, arrived in the Archdiocese of Mobile at the invitation of Bishop Allen. In 1921, 100 years ago, the Trinitarian Fathers and Brothers, officially known as the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity, was established with the approval of Bishop Allen. In 1931, 90 years ago, the Trinitarian Sisters, officially known as the Missionary Servants of the Blessed Holy Trinity, submitted their request to the Vatican for official recognition as a Religious Order. (It would be granted in February 1932). The histories of these three Religious Orders are interwoven.

DOTHAN — When the Knights of Columbus Council 6727 at St. Columba Parish in Dothan initiated the first Seminarian Dinner in 2010, no one could have known that the annual event would be interrupted by COVID-19. 

Am I doing something wrong?  I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.  I have given my heart, my life, my everything over to Him on many occasions, and yet I sin.  I still get angry in traffic.  I still struggle to be more selfless in my relationships.  I still desire things that are sinful and that are bad for me.  Why?
