NOTE: Christ in Our Neighborhood is a parish-based program consisting of small Christian communities that gather in the home weekly to prayerfully discuss the upcoming Sunday Mass readings. It’s easy to form a community and you can find out more by searching “Christ in Our Neighborhood at the Diocese of Phoenix website, dphx.org. This coming Sunday, we celebrate the Resurrection of Our Lord. The question the Christ in Our Neighborhood Commentary asks us is: How has Christ’s resurrection changed your life?

Ryan Everson, a fifth-year seminarian, will debut Receive Their Souls, a sacred music composition, on All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2) at St. Anne Parish in Gilbert, Ariz., at the 11 a.m. Mass and St. Bernadette in Scottsdale, Ariz., at the 10 a.m. Mass, which will be performed by the parishes’ vocal choirs. This will be the fifth piece Everson has composed through his non-profit, Angelico Sacred Music, alongside pieces like Our Father and The Act of Contrition. A graduate from Arizona State University School of Music in 2019, Everson felt prompted to use his classical training to compose music for the Church. After noticing a gap in the sacred music landscape, Everson founded Angelico in October 2024, with the mission to create Neo-Renaissance-style compositions of popular Catholic prayers in the English language.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The greatest risk in life is to waste it by not seeking to follow God's plan, Pope Leo XIV said, proclaiming two new saints -- two young laymen of the 20th and 21st centuries. "Sts. Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upward and make them masterpieces," the pope said Sept. 7. "The simple but winning formula of their holiness," he said, is accessible to everyone at any time. "They encourage us with their words: 'Not I, but God,' as Carlo used to say. And Pier Giorgio: 'If you have God at the center of all your actions, then you will reach the end.'"

ROME (CNS) -- Volunteers watching over the relics of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati gently placed items from the faithful on top of his casket to make a third-class relic for the visitors to the Basilica of Santa Maria sopra Minerva, near Rome's Pantheon, one afternoon during the Jubilee of Youth. About 16 small dark burgundy pillows lined the marble steps before the simple wooden casket marked by a cross, four red wax seals and one of the blessed's favorite sayings, "Verso l'alto," ("To the top"), engraved in his handwriting.

During Sunday mornings at St. Josephine Bakhita Mission Parish, the singing is upbeat and energetic yet reverent. There is clapping, as well as expressions of “Amen!” and “Hallelujah!” This was especially present as the parish community celebrated its third annual Founder’s Day Mass on Sunday, June 1 honoring St. Josephine Bakhita. Visitors and decades-long parishioners alike experienced an atmosphere of warmth, love and Afrocentric culture and spirituality. “You’re going to see something great here,” beamed Bishop John Dolan following the Founder’s Day Mass. “It’s [a church] packed with a lot of energy and a lot of spirit.”
