The Catholic Hipster Handbook
The Catholic Hipster Handbook
By Starla Hester
When I first read the title to this book, I was taken back. I thought how is the author, Tommy Tighe, going to make Catholic’s look hip? Catholic are usually construed as boring and dull. How is he going to show our Catholic cool side? History! We have tons of saints that have passed through this world and Tighe, along with his friends who helped him write this book, has pulled out the coolest

A Book Review of Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle's "Our Lady of Fatima: 100 Years of Stories, Prayers, and Devotions"
By Justin McClain
One hundred years ago as of May 13, 2017, Our Lady of Fatima ushered in a message of love, of peace, and of enduring reconciliation by way of three young Portuguese children.

Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture
Out of the Ashes: Rebuilding American Culture
By Robert Curtis O.P.
After WWII, if America became a beacon, what we did we could somewhat justify to ourselves because our way of life represented freedom. When we defended others, as a superpower, we intended to be on the side of right.

St. Clare of Assisi: Light from the Cloister
By Bret Thoman
The first time I ever entered a Poor Clare church was in 2004. I was with my wife, Katia, in the postcard-perfect medieval hill town of San Severino at the base of the Apennine Mountains in central Italy. We were with a group of Italians on a pilgrimage to the Franciscan places within the bucolic region of the Marches led by the provincial minister, Fr. Ferdinando Campana.

How To Properly Place Your Holy Rosary
How To Properly Place Your Holy Rosary
By Tim Hatch
The Holy Cross is sacred. It is only in the Catholic tradition that a replica Cross, or Crucifix, is venerated and affixed to the Holy Rosary. It is also a sacramental, and like all sacramentals, which guide our attention heavenward, the Holy Cross must be treated with care and respect.

Two Faces Of Eve
Two Faces Of Eve
By Mary Rivers
All have two faces: the veiled illusionary face of our sinful lives; and the unveiled joyful face when sin has been forsaken.
