A dose of something that's good for you... and fun too!

I wish I could tell you the date it happened, the date Deacon Tom Fox came into my life, but I sadly I can’t.  What’s... READ MORE

2009 Catholic New Media Awards

Please vote for us!

Voting has begun in the 2009 Catholic New Media Awards. Please consider registering and voting for us!

Faith and Family Live! was honored to be nominated in the following categories:

People’s Choice Blog
Best Group Blog
Most Informative Blog
Most Entertaining Blog
Best New Blog
People’s Choice Podcast
Best Group Podcast
Best New Podcast

Unfortunately, our name appears on the voting ballot in only some of those categories. (Just between you and me and the internet, I’m blaming Creative Minority Report as the fellows over there are already stooping to scare tactics and dirty politics in this year’s competition.)

With your help, Faith and Family Live! can rise above this adversity while maintaining our dignity.

Vote for dignity! Vote for us!
