Happy Labor Day from Catholic News

Due to the Labor Day holiday today in the U.S., there will be no new news briefing this morning. Today, the Church celebrates Saint Boniface, Pope. Though few details are known of Boniface's early life, he was elected Pope on December 28, 418. Boniface was highly esteemed for his charitable and learned personality, which were clearly seen and lived through the service of his priestly duties. Boniface's reign was marked by great zeal and activity in disciplinary organization and control. He worked to reform certain corrupt practices and reduced the privileges granted to certain bishops. He ardently supported Saint Augustine in his fight against Pelagianism, and Augustine devoted several works to him.
