St.Maximillian Kolbe and the Immaculate Conception
May is the month of Mary and I desire to continue to consecrate myself to our Holy Mother. This year I will be reading Fr. Michael Gaitley's book, "33 Days to Morning Glory" for the second time. Here in his book, Fr. Gaitley discusses Marian devotion through, as he describes them as the Marian giants, St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Theresa of Calcutta, and St. John Paul II.

Feeding the Family
Feeding the Family
Raising children to be strong and secure adults is the goal of every family. Therefore, families that share at least one meal together each day give their children a strong sense of security. As a result, children are stronger and more self-confident in the outside world. In her newest book, "Feeding Your Family's Soul", Donna-Marie gives parents the tools to help achieve this goal.

God's Will.....Are you listening?
The things that happen to us throughout our lives are known by our Heavenly Father way before our birth. He knows what we say, think, do, He knows us inside and out without a word spoken. It is humbling to think of this as a mom, I do not know my children to this extent.

Movie Review: God's Not Dead, 1 and 2
My husband and I went to both movies, "God's Not Dead" and both were terrific with amazingly real messages. In the first movie, it takes place at a college where a philosophy professor makes all the students sign a piece of paper saying that God is dead and sign it in order to eradicate this issue from any class discussions in the future.

How Strong is Your Faith?
You've heard of the woman, desperate for a cure, who knew that just touching the cloak of Jesus would heal her from years of medical abuse, ignorance, and pain. In that one instance she was cured, was it her actually touching Jesus' cloak, was it Jesus, or was it her faith? "Your faith has made you well..."

St Stephen and a Hog Killing
Many wonder why we have to be confronted with the martyrdom of a young brave man from the early Church the day after Christmas. We have to wipe that smile of joy and celebration amidst the gifts, food, and fellowship off our faces, we have to be confronted with sadness and unbridled meanness contained in human nature.

A Christmas Gift to You
A Christmas Gift to You
A few years ago, my mom gave me this homily. It's my great-uncle Fr. Samuel Haughton’s last sermon delivered, December 25, 1936. During midnight Mass, he died of a massive heart attack right as he was raising the host up for consecration. My grandfather and uncles were all up front and ran to Fr. Sam and the Eucharist.
