We Are Made For The Infinite!
By Kathy Lamb
When I was growing up I took my faith for granted. There was a crucifix in every room in our house. There was a crucifix in every classroom at school.

To show Christ’s love as well as being loved by Christ.

Mass and Music
By Mariel Roersma
One part of our Mass is music. We start by singing an opening hymn, and end by singing a closing hymn. One thing we don't often think about is how much of an impact music has on our worship experience.

Who is my neighbor?
Who is my neighbor?
By Troy Kroening
This is the question of a scholar of the law to Jesus, but it is also our question. It is the very question that leads to the parable of the good Samaritan.

Sometimes, there can be no middle ground.
By Troy Kroening
Belief in Jesus is an all or nothing matter. You either belief or you don’t. Some try to water down Jesus and take what they like and ignore what they dislike. Belief in Jesus is not a buffet where you can pick and choose.
