I’m happy tho help spread the word about a fun and faith filled contest for students in junior high and high school that will enable them to combine their love of faith with their love of the arts.

Welcoming Arms

The photo you see here is the lovely facade of my parish, St. Anthony of Padua, all dressed up in its Christmas finest.
Every year, in the week prior to Christmas, these angels alight to welcome visitors to our parish for the week of Christmas. Last Saturdy, this photo graced the front page of our Faith and Values section in the local paper in an article about area churches and their symbols of the... READ MORE

Being Bold

Last weekend, I witnessed an amazing display of evangelization in action.
Greg, Eric and I were each spending time in our own favorite corners of Barnes and Noble. I was standing in front of the parenting section, looking at books about raising teens. Next to me stood a lovely young couple who were deeply engrossed in a book about breastfeeding. The wife was very pregnant, looking ready at any... READ MORE
Watch What You Say
