Late Lent
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, February 22, 2011
February will be over next week. Am I the only one who keeps getting thrown off by the fact that it’s not Lent yet?
With Easter almost as late as possible, Lent isn’t starting until March 9th this year. Since it almost always starts in February, this feels strange.
This week, I’ve caught myself a couple times feeling vaguely guilty because I’m not remembering to stick to my Lenten resolutions. I... READ MORE
Don't Forget About You
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Monday, August 30, 2010
During this crazy back-to-school season, many of us moms find ourselves planning schedules, shopping for supplies, and preparing our kids for new fall routines.
It can be easy to lose ourselves in the shuffle.
As much as you are planning your son’s soccer schedule, as much as you are planning your daughter’s violin lessons, as much as you are planning an entire school year full of learning and activity... READ MORE
On-Line Advent Countdown
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Tuesday, December 01, 2009
In case you don’t have an Advent calendar (or even if you do), this virtual one is pretty cool.
Open a window and two angels pop up to tell you about the saint of the day or other Church observances.
Mom’s To Do List
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, October 07, 2008
Paul and I are discussing our schedules for tomorrow. We have been planning a meet-up to pick out new cellphones (we reached the time limit on our contract to get the deep discount—yippee!) and thought we’d rendezvous at the phone store while the boys are at school.
Me: Are we on for tomorrow?
Him: Let me look at my schedule. What do you have going on?
Me, looking at my calendar: Nothing really. I... READ MORE

Today, on September 20, we celebrate the Memorial of Saint Andrew Kim Taegon, priest and martyr, and Saint Paul Chong Hasang, martyr, and their companions, the martyrs of Korea.
I will admit to not having known many of the details of the lives of these saintly men and women who brought the faith to and founded the Church in Korea. They are noted for their faith-filled bravery in being willing to... READ MORE

Time for Renewal
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Thursday, August 21, 2008
As I sat in morning Mass today listening to our Vicar General give a homily on the first reading and the life of Pope Pius X, I was reminded of the fact that this “Back to School” time of the year really is a moment for renewal. Along with our children, we face new goals, challenges and opportunities.
Pope Pius X was beloved for many reasons and was well known for encouraging frequent reception... READ MORE
Memorial of St. Joachim and St. Anne
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, July 26, 2008
Today, we celebrate the memorial of St. Joachim and St. Anne, parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary. My own wonderful mother’s name is Anne, so I remember her in a special way on this feast day of the Patroness of Mothers. I was recently sharing with a friend who is expecting her first child that she can expect her relationship with her own mother to grow and blossom when she welcomes her child into... READ MORE
