Today, our parish and school staffs came together for our annual retreat prior to the beginning of the next school year.

Our speaker today was Paula Huston, the author of multiple books including her most recent... READ MORE

Brother Michael has a rare gift for speaking to simple souls and encouraging them to draw closer... READ MORE
Putting God at the Center

Please excuse this very bad photo of what was, indeed, a wonderful evening. Yesterday morning, I hit the road for a quick trip to San Francisco. My destination: St. Dominic’s Catholic Church and a lecture by Fr. Robert Barron of WordonFire.org. You may recall my earlier post on Fr. Barron’s wonderful endeavor, The Catholicism Project.
Fr. Barron’s purpose in coming to California was to spread... READ MORE
Open Your Day, Insert Prayer
Posted by Danielle Bean in Faith on Wednesday, September 02, 2009
Lisa’s post yesterday about finding the perfect prayer time reminded me of a nifty little resource I like to use when life is busy and I find myself staring at a computer screen for way too long:
