A Saint to Emulate
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Monday, October 19, 2009
Today is the feast of St. Isaac Jogues and his companions. He’s the patron saint I chose when I got confirmed, so it’s a special day for me.

First Communion Stories is a new site, sponsored by Aquinas and More Catholic Goods, where they are hoping to collect Catholics’ real-life First Communion stories and memories.
