Featured Term (selected at random):

MISSIONARY

A person who is sent by Church authority to preach the Gospel, or help strengthen the faith already professed, among people in a given place or region. Essential to being a missionary, whether at home or abroad, is the desire to extend the Kingdom of Christ by preaching, teaching, or other means of evangelization and catechesis.

I think of Father Junipero Serra when I think of missionary to the United States. There are many others, however.

I like the feature.

I'm sorry that I can't be reliable in helping to post it at this time because of time zone/sometimes spotty connectivity issues.
