Every year, many make resolutions to guide their new year plans. For Catholics, we can make resolutions to help guide our spiritual growth and inform our daily tasks. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discuss ways that Catholics can take advantage of the New Year, 2026.

With the dawn of a New Year we have fresh opportunities and a new hope for what we can expect in the months ahead. A key for success is having a plan and managing expectations. If we bite off more than we can chew, we get overwhelmed and don’t make any progress. If we don’t have any idea of how we will accomplish our goals, then we are not any more likely to accomplish them. Some New Year’s resolutions for Catholics may include: attending daily Mass, going to Confession more regularly, daily prayer, and partaking in charity work, to name a few.
