Hey guys! Today at 6:30 pm EDT I will be a guest on Relevant Radio’s A Closer Look with Sheila Liaugminas.
We’ll be talking about our culture’s discrimination against children and large families. You can listen online and call in—I’d love to hear from you!
Fabulous Franciscan
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Tuesday, April 05, 2011
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
Catholic Media Promotion Day
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, March 08, 2011
This morning, I was happily driving home from taking Adam to school while listening to my friends Greg and Jennifer Willits chat on their radio show The Catholics Next Door. I love their banter, their friendship, and their energy for the faith. So when I heard Greg “tease” a new idea he was planning just as I was pulling into the garage, I simply couldn’t walk away and quit listening. I only have... READ MORE
Enormous, Invisible, Pro-Life Crowd

I loved the powerful impact of this time-lapse video of the crowd at the March for Life last week. You won’t see this crowd reported on mainstream media channels. Thank you Air Maria!
Light of the World

Peter Seewald’s new book-length interview with the Pope garnered interesting headlines over the weekend!
In case you missed the flap, no, the Pope didn’t change or even slightly soften Church teaching on the morality of condom use.
Read more about that here. I want to focus on the book itself.

Life Without Television
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Friday, September 24, 2010
As a mother of five boys, my eye was certainly drawn to Arwen’s post about boys and electronic media . We have a gaming system in our home and when I let the boys cart it out (I keep it under lock and key) it rarely bears good fruit. It’s all fun and games for about ten minutes before the frets set in.
As a family, we do so much better without the glow of the tube, shows, DVD’s and video games included.... READ MORE
Silence In Hyde Park

Not to belabor the point, but Pope Benedict XVI really won the people of the United Kingdom over.
Here’s an incredible story about that.
Read it if you need some cheering up.
I bring this up again, though, because it highlights one of the most astonishing moments of the trip, more powerful, perhaps, than his many beautiful and pitch-perfect addresses.
That was the moment of exposition of the Blessed... READ MORE
The Facebook Dilemma
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, September 20, 2010
I have a love/hate relationship with Facebook. On the one hand, I love being connected with so many people, seeing all kinds of photographs, reading snippets here and there about a wide variety of random tidbits of information that has zero impact on my productivity.
On the other hand, see above.
Facebook is a vortex that sucks me in, and whenever I do have to enter the gates I brace myself. It can... READ MORE
New Media Tool for Catholic Parents
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Thursday, June 24, 2010
As a parent of growing kids, I find that navigating popular culture is a never-ending and exhausting task. What is okay to let the kids watch, see, and listen to? What kinds of television, music, movies, and video games are being marketed to children today? It can be challenging to keep up.
Finding the answers is never easy, but I am convinced that protecting our kids from negative influences and... READ MORE
A Communication Innovation
Posted by Danielle Bean in Homemaking on Tuesday, June 01, 2010
I bemoan the demise of handwritten correspondence as much as anyone. I fully recognize the superiority of a personal, handwritten note to a computer-generated one and I note quite sadly that letter writing is indeed a dying art.
But I also recognize a really cool idea when I see one. And I happen to think Hazel Mail absolutely is a really cool idea.
At Hazel Mail, you can upload a photo, add your... READ MORE
