Why Semper Fi?

"Semper Fi" is a shortened form of the Latin "Semper Fidelis" which in English, translates to "Always Faithful".  In other words, stated simply and in Her official language is the fact that we at this forum strive to be "always faithful" to the Magisterium of the One Holy, Catholic and  Apostolic Church. 

"Semper Fi" is also a term used by the US Marines.  This too is appropriate, as we are also in a military being humble members of the Church militant. As faithful "Marines" for Jesus, we do our best at this forum to proclaim the Truth;  Without excuses!  Without compromise!  Without apology!  Fighting the good fight, we carry out the new evangelization that Pope John Paul II has called us to, remembering the ones who have fought before us and are now part of the Church Triumphant. We especially remember Father Denis Edward O' Brien M.M.,  a faithful U.S. Marine and faithful priest who is a beloved hero in God's army.  "Semper Fi, Father O". 

Our main objective at Semperfi Catholic is Evangelization through the use of the Semper Fi Catholic Forum, which is faithful to Christ's Vicar on earth, Pope Benedict XVI.

We offer homilies by Fr. Paul Weinberger, Pastor of St. William the Confessor Catholic Parish in Greenville, Texas. Please visit the homily page  or listen to our podcasts as they become available.
