Either I forgot to add it my Reminders or Calendar apps, or I ignored any notifactions about it (sort of defeats the purpose of them) but today was the Feast day of St. Matthias, the Apostle (although Ascension Thursday knocked him off the calendar.) He was the one the Eleven remaining apostles elected to replace Judas.

I blogged about him before when I discovered the he is a patron saint of alcoholics: St. Matthias Post Archive.

I ran across a novena to him, specifically referring to his patronage of us: St. Matthias Novena.  Too late for this year, but maybe you should bookmark it for next year. 

I have a new book! "The Sober Catholic Way" is a handbook on how anyone can live a sober life, drawn from over 17 years of SoberCatholic posts! It's out now on "Amazon," "Apple Books," "B&N" and and others!"!

My two other books are still available! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
