Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

We are in a cultural and spiritual war, a war for the very soul of the United States and of the western culture that was founded on our Catholic Faith.  Please take the time to visit the website of our Catholic Bishops:  usccb.org/conscience to learn more about the most recent attack on our Catholic Faith: the mandate by the Department of Health and Human Services that all employers, including religious institutions, must provide for contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs as part of their insurance plans for their employees.

I encourage all of you to also take the time to listen to the homily that Fr. David Wilton, Superior General of the Fathers of Mercy, gave on Sunday, February 5, 2012 here at the Chapel of Divine Mercy.

May God shed His Divine Mercy upon our nation and our people!

Fr. Ben Cameron, CPM

Assistant General, Fathers of Mercy

About Fr. Ben Cameron

Fr. Ben Cameron was born in Kokomo, Indiana, and grew up as a member of St. Patrick Catholic Church in that city. During his junior high and high school years, he attended a small Christian school that was operated by a local Baptist church. It was in that non-Catholic environment, where his faith was often challenged, that he began to study the Catholic Faith. Fr. Ben is a 1991 graduate of Christendom College, a small Catholic liberal arts college in Front Royal, Virginia, where he became involved in a lay apostolate known as the Legion of Mary, which awakened his desire to share his Catholic Faith with others. Upon receiving his degree in Political Science and History, Fr. Ben planned a career in the political arena, but soon found that God had other plans. He joined the Fathers of Mercy in 1992, studied theology at Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, Connecticut, and was ordained to the Holy Priesthood on May 31, 1997.
