A Steel City son whose father labored in a mill, Fr. Joseph M. Mele wears many hats in the Pittsburgh diocese, including vicar general and director of formation at St. Paul Seminary. But he esteems “almost selfishly” his role as Legatus chaplain because it returns him to the sort of pastorly role he had been missing after 36 years as a parish priest.
Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become weak and brittle due to loss of bone density, making them more vulnerable to fracture. Bones are continually “remodeling” — new bone is being made and old bone is broken down or “resorbed.” New bone requires calcium, vitamin D, phosphorus and other minerals. Peak bone mass is achieved around age 30.

For better or worse, the age of regenerative medicine is upon us. The goal is the streamlined and cost-effective production of genetically matched, patient-specific tissues for use in therapies. While still rather elusive, that goal appears attainable by both licit and illicit means.
Loyalty is a word that is used often in the business community. Establishing loyal customers is always a challenge and a worthy pursuit. Creating a culture of loyal employees also has its serious and obvious benefits.
Every Christian is called to share the Good News of Christ according to his or her individual gifts and station in life. This is why our Catholic faith is called “apostolic.”
Like her Son, the Blessed Mother has an “option for the poor.” God had given her three secrets for the world. She chose to deliver them not to kings, presidents or CEOs, but to three peasant children who tended sheep in the countryside near Fatima, Portugal. In 1917, on the thirteenth day of each month from May to October, Our Lady appeared to Francisco and Jacinta Marto, the youngest members of their family, and their cousin, Lúcia dos Santos (1907–2005).
