App Updates
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Tuesday, March 02, 2010
There has been a good deal of buzz in the Catholic blogosphere in the past few weeks about Catholic iPhone apps. I thought I’d give you a little laundry list of iPhone updates and invite you to share again about new ones you’ve discovered since we last took up this topic.

How Much Must I Believe?
Posted by Fr. John Bartunek, LC in Faith on Wednesday, February 17, 2010
Q: Do I have to believe “everything” to identify myself as Catholic?
A: I read the conversation that followed this question at Faith & Family Connect, and once again I was impressed by the honesty, wisdom, and compassion so evident in exchanges here at the Faith and Family online community. I had two thoughts that may be of use to those who are following this conversation.
The World around Us

Giveaway: Wear Your Faith!
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Monday, February 15, 2010
UPDATE: Giveaway is over and comments are now closed. I will announce winners on the blog shortly.
Faith Shines is a small Catholic company that creates faith-inspired apparel.
I really like how the Faith Shine t-shirts and sweatshirts are pretty, faithful, and ... subtle.
Black t-shirts with bold Catholic slogans have their place—on the backs of Catholic teens’ perhaps. But these faith-inspired... READ MORE
My Husband Doesn't Share My Passion for My Faith
Posted by Fr. John Bartunek, LC in Faith on Wednesday, February 03, 2010
Q: My husband and I have been married for 18 years. Though he is Catholic and attends Mass weekly, I think I take my faith more seriously than he does. I say “think” because he doesn’t like to talk much about his faith. He also does not like to pray with me. I don’t want to cause trouble, but this makes me sad. I feel like we could grow closer to God and to each other if we shared our faith more. ... READ MORE
The Other Vocation Crisis
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Marriage on Tuesday, January 26, 2010
“Priest shortage.”
That’s what usually comes to mind when we hear the term “vocations crisis.”
In an interview last summer, however, New York’s Archbishop Dolan said the real vocation crisis in our country is in matrimony, not holy orders.
Take care of matrimony, he said, and there will be no shortage of priests and religious.
It is a truism of spirituality that marriage and consecrated life are bound together such that what harms one harms the other.
And vice versa.
Last fall, spurred on by what they see as far too many people who don’t really understand what marriage is—“either as a natural institution or a Christian sacrament”—the bishops of the United States released a pastoral letter on that topic.

Love Among The Ruins

In the midst of all the devastating stories from Haiti, a rescue—and a story of faith, hope and love.

How Can a Catholic Mom Find Good Friends?
Posted by Fr. John Bartunek, LC in Faith on Wednesday, January 06, 2010
Q: How do you recommend we interact with fellow Catholics who blatantly disregard the churches teachings on contraception or other major teaching of the Church? I feel lately like I would rather associate with non-Catholic moms than ones who call themselves Catholic but then don’t go to Mass or make me feel uncomfortable for being pregnant with my 5th in 6 years. I am just new to my community and... READ MORE
As We Forgive

I know there are many Immaculee Ilibagizafans here, so this may interest you.
Here’s the trailer for a forthcoming documentary on the reconciliation process in Rwanda.
Reviewer Tabitha Blanski explains a bit more about the film.
In less than 100 days, nearly one million people were murdered and tens of thousands were responsible for these deaths….Genocide destroyed Rwanda—socially, economically,... READ MORE
In Over My Head
Posted by Hallie Lord in Reviews on Friday, December 11, 2009
Hiya girls!
I hope you won’t mind if I tie my second Fashion Friday stocking stuffer suggestion into the slightly more weighty topic of covering one’s head at Mass. Veiling is an issue that’s intrigued me for a long time and I’m eager to hear your experiences with and opinions on the subject.
Over time I’ve learned that if there’s an issue I can’t seem to get off my mind it usually means God is trying... READ MORE
Being Like Our Mother
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Wednesday, December 09, 2009
Our pastor is an excellent homilist and will often make a point so striking that I wish I had a notebook with me so I could write it down immediately. Then he’ll keep talking and I’ll realize it’s something I’ve known all along, and was simply failing or forgetting to think about in the proper way.
With his homilies he brings the truths of our faith back into focus and helps renew them in our minds... READ MORE
