If you’re friends on Facebook or Twitter with Rachel or Danielle, you’ve likely been sharing my joy at their updates and tweets from the set of CatholicTV’s brand new television program for women, The Gist. The show, a new kind of Catholic programming for women, stars Rachel Balducci, Danielle Bean and Carolee McGrath. The awesome Facebook page for The Gist has a photo album full of great shots like...

Mass Confusion

This year on Thanksgiving, CatholicTV pioneered a new form of entertainment for our families—the Catholic sitcom! Mass Confusion stars Greg and Jennifer Willits and Mac and Katherine Barron, who come together for a project that is hilarious, family friendly and—frankly—a great departure from what normally fills the airwaves these days. I encourage you to take thirty minutes, put your feet up and enjoy... READ MORE
The Stranger in the Corner
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, August 23, 2011
A friend sent along one of those much-forward emails (the kind I tend to ignore)—but this one really caught my attention. Tell me what you think:
A few years after I was born, my Dad met a stranger who was new to our small town. From the beginning, Dad was fascinated with this enchanting newcomer and soon invited him to live with our family. The stranger was quickly accepted and was around from then... READ MORE

Oprah's Last Show
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, May 25, 2011
I watched the Oprah series finale this afternoon. Don’t ask me how I pulled it off—I haven’t been able to watch anything at four in the afternoon since my oldest boys were toddlers. But somehow the big boys were all gone and both babies asleep and there I sat, folding laundry and watching Oprah.
I’ll admit I used to watch Oprah way back then. I was on a big kick for a while and really did enjoy the... READ MORE
Truth be Told
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Friday, April 15, 2011
Gather the family! Pop the popcorn! Set the DVR and enjoy another Family Movie Night tomorrow at 8 pm (7 Central) on FOX! This weekend’s film is Truth Be Told starring Candace Cameron Bure. You may remember Candace from her “Full House” days, but now she’s all grown up and starring in a movie that’s fun, inspirational and something the whole family can enjoy together. Learn more about this movie here, but most importantly please help us spread the word - if we want more family friendly viewing options on television, we must support and promote them! I’ll be tuned in Saturday night and will be anxious to hear from all of you who watch too!
