Well, I’ve begun to get over my sadness at not being with all of my favorite moms at this past Saturday’s big event. Part of what helped to ease the sting was the wonderful time I had at the Franciscan University Media and Faith Conference in Steubenville. Together with Jeff Young (aka the Catholic Foodie) and our host Fr. Seraphim Beshoner, I spent the weekend interacting with Communications Arts... READ MORE

I had the great pleasure of attending the Catholic Marketing Network Show and the Catholic Writer’s Conference here in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. Being on the show floor is a little bit like going to a Catholic Disneyland, but the best part of being present here is the opportunity to meet so many of my online friends... READ MORE
