We talk a lot about the importance of building dynamic parishes to form disciples, but it’s not always clear what that looks like. One such example can be found at Michigan Tech, where Fr. Ben Hasse and the students just celebrated their annual outdoor Ice Mass. Fr. Ben joins us.

What does it mean to imitate Mary?
There’s no shortage of graces available to us as followers of Christ, but we don’t always know how to access them. It is here that we can turn to Mary, who is the perfect model for disposing ourselves to God’s grace and to responding to that grace. On this feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, we talk with Fr. Quan Tran.
