The eighth month of the year brings about many things that are bound to happen. It is the last full month of summer break for many students before school starts back up. Teachers old and new will begin their planning for the upcoming school year through training and in-service. The heat for the fall classic begins to be dialed up after teams sought a missing piece or waved the white flag with their barn sales.
All in all, August is also a Marian month on the liturgical calendar. It is also dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. In addition, it is dedicated to many great saints in the church from martyrs to those who made a difference in promoting the faith.

Catholic Millennial. I hail from Philadelphia, PA. 4th-degree member of the Knights of Columbus. I enjoy writing, traveling, ballroom dancing, meeting new people, having deep conversations over a cold beer or wine (sometimes champagne), and petting adorable dogs that come right past me.
I hope to convey more messages from our culture with a twist of faith.
Some of my writings will range from pro-life (yes, men can have a say in the abortion issue, Karen), pop culture, history, and just some spontaneous reflections without warning
