Novena to Saint Joseph
The Shalom Catholic Community invites you to pray the Novena to Saint Joseph. It can be said at any time of the year, especially on the days surrounding St Joseph’s Feast which this year will be on the 19th of March. Saint Joseph is a dear Saint to our beloved Pope Francis and to many Catholics around the world. In the Shalom Community, so many graces have been received through the intercession of Jesus’ earthly father.

The youth center at the center of the Church
Though it sits just steps from St. Peter’s Basilica, it goes unseen by the thousands of people that pass by every day. In a city of churches, it’s a church that can’t be found by accident, but must be sought out. And many do. It is St. Lawrence in Piscibus, a tiny and simple church from the 12th century, tucked behind buildings which make it undetectable from the main thoroughfare to St. Peter’s Basilica.

Editing our own genes?
Several serious diseases are known to occur because of defects or mutations in our DNA. Curing such diseases could, in principle, be carried out by rewriting the DNA to fix the mutated base pairs. Yet, until recently scientists have remained largely stymied in their attempts to directly modify genes in a living animal. Findings described in the March 30, 2014 issue of Nature Biotechnology, however, reveal that a novel gene-editing technique, known as CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), can be used successfully in mice to reverse disease symptoms for a liver defect known as type I tyrosinemia. In humans, this potentially fatal ailment affects about one in 100,000 people. CRISPR, which enables researchers to snip out the mutated ...
