During the Lenten season, Howard Hall set forth a bold goal for hall residents and other University students — attend Mass in every dorm chapel on campus over the 46-day period of Lent, covering all 30 residence hall chapels as part of their “Chapel Crawl.” The Crawl allows students to visit and experience different chapels on

Fr. Joe Corpora’s recent book, “The Relentless Mercy of God,” chronicles a chase as persistent as that undertaken by Inspector Javert in pursuit of Jean Valjean. In contrast to Javert’s obsessive years-long hunt chronicled in Victor Hugo’s “Les Miserables,” Corpora spins a story that is deceptively simple: We are all sinners, but we are also
