RELIGION RISES ON CAMPUS

Jim Cosgrove Features

Facts of Life

In a study recently conducted by the Higher Education Research Institute of the University of California at Los Angeles, 77% of students surveyed said they pray, while 73% said a religious tradition helped to shape their identity. “College is the first time you're asked to look at your world and come to a conclusion independently about it,” commented Vanessa Baehr-Jones, president of a student-fellowship group at Tufts University in Boston. “Religion can help shape what meaning that will take.”

Consecration to the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Next week, the Bishops of the United States will meet in Orlando and consecrate America to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. This week on Register Radio we are joined by Bishop Kevin Rhoades to explain the importance of the consecration and how we can all take part and then Register senior writer Zelda Caldwell tells us about the remarkable phenomenon of diocesan priests living in community.
