I love September and find I always have a renewed sense of purpose as we make our way into Fall (that glorious, glorious season!).

In the midst of celebrating September 1 today, I found myself singing this little... READ MORE

Praying to End Abortion

In his new video series, the always amazing and inspiring Fr. Frank Pavone challenges us to be truly involved in the Right to Life cause by actively praying for life.  With even the youngest of children, praying for the prolife movement can become a regular part of your day and a way to build a culture of life in our own homes. Please share this video on your blog or with your circle of friends to... READ MORE
