June 16th, 2026 - Happy feast of St. Lutgardis! 8 Americans were reported killed yesterday after an Air Force B-52 Stratofortress bomber crashed shortly after takeoff for a test flight from Edwards Air Force Base in California. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Please pray for the repose of those killed. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz restated yesterday that the nation would not withdraw its troops from land Israel has captured in Lebanon. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu also stated in an address that the Trump administration’s deal with Iran is President Donald Trump’s “decision” and not Israel's. Trump is reportedly pressuring Israel strongly to withdraw from Lebanon by Friday. A large-scale Russian missile and drone attack struck Kyiv early June 15, damaging the historic Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery complex and killing at least five people in the Ukrainian capital, Ukrainian officials said. Pope Leo’s brother, Louis Prevost, was spotted chatting with Vice President JD Vance during Trump’s UFC event at the White House. Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha Vance discussed their family’s Mass attendance practices ahead of the release of Vance’s memoir, explaining that having a priest celebrate Mass at their home is “one of the rare privileges of this life.” The FBI and its law enforcement partners disrupted an alleged plot targeting this weekend’s UFC Freedom 250 event in Washington, DC. Five people were in custody as of yesterday, and investigators identified 23 people as part of a potential network of plotters. The alleged plan involved using explosive-laden drones to hit buildings near the event, force a mass evacuation and steer crowds toward a pre-staged sniper team.
