Voting Pro-Life
Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Friday, October 14, 2011
Today I went to the grocery store to buy some comfort food for a rainy afternoon (Cheez-its and Reese’s pieces if anyone was wondering).
Happy with my purchase I walked out the door and was greeted by young professionals who asked if I was a resident of the town. When I said yes, I was introduced to the local politician who was running for Town Council.
Now let me first say that I am not into politics,... READ MORE
The Disturbing Truth

This video makes a powerful impact, particularly alongside the disturbing Margaret Sanger quote I saw it published with at Bad Catholic this past weekend.
New Shrine Memorializes Lost Babies
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Monday, May 02, 2011
You guys!
My weekend visit to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy this weekend was amazing and exhausting and amazing and did I mention exhausting?
I brought along five of my kids, and the gang of us had a most memorable trip. I shared some photos on my Facebook page, but that album did not include any photos of the new (still under construction) Shrine of the Holy Innocents that is on site in Stockbridge,... READ MORE

On this week’s episode of the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), we kick things off by congratulating our friend Rebecca on her new column, “In Good Company” at the Catholic News Agency. Way to go Rebecca!
In our first topic of the week, we take a look at reading fiction and share some of our favorite recently read titles, including the following:
Can You Help a Chinese Couple Have Their Baby?
Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Wednesday, September 23, 2009
I recently received an email that made me feel completely ignorant and helpless.
I have no information to offer this needy couple about organizations that might help Chinese women have their second babies. I am really hoping someone here might offer some insight or information. You can comment here or .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and I’ll forward it to the party in question:... READ MORE

A message of hope, a message of victory.”

On this week’s episode of the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), our host Arwen leads Rachel and I in a conversation aimed at encouraging our fellow moms and promoting a bit of family fun.
In our first topic, we discuss the very real fact that most young moms find it very difficult to actively volunteer outside the home, despite the best of intentions. ... READ MORE
Let the Healing Begin
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Saturday, July 18, 2009
I’m very happy to share the following video by talented Catholic recording artist Elizabeth Schmeidler. Elizabeth shares that this song, “Let the Healing Begin”, was written to raise awareness, healing and compassion for those who have been affected by abortion. At the end of the video, she provides resource information for Rachel’s Vineyard, a wonderful organization that helps women heal following the trauma of abortion. Please join me in praying for the dignity of life for ALL on this Saturday.
All Shapes and Sizes

I had to smile this week when I read Rachel’s lovely article entitled The Case for Large Families. As the eldest of five children, I don’t need to be convinced by Rachel that a large family can be such a great cause for joy. I count my two sisters and two brothers and their spouses as my very best friends and feel blessed that our family remains close at heart despite our lack of geographic proximity.... READ MORE
Red Envelope Brigade
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Monday, February 09, 2009
This morning in my inbox was one of those mega-forwarded emails, the kind where you have to scroll way down to the bottom to get the gist of the letter. I sometimes ignore these emails, but something about this particular letter caught my eye—it promoted a simple yet profound act we can do to speak up for life.
I’ll include the letter below, but first I want to add that I did a little research to... READ MORE
