To Thine Own Selfishness Be True
To Thine Own Selfishness Be True
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
There’s nothing better than that moment when your kid learns about free will in Religion Class. Now, I’ve been teaching my kids their whole lives about it, but there’s something about them hearing it in school that makes it click in a different way. For weeks, everything I say has been, and will be, “I don’t have to do anything…I have free will.”

Young people and the Church......a match made in Heaven...
By Steve Reasbeck
I’ll be right up front about this. I love kids. I love seeing them at Mass. Big ones, little ones, toddlers and teens. Seeing them at Mass is a sign of life for a parish. Any parish.

Parenting a Teen: Lessons in Humility
Parenting a Teen: Lessons in Humility
By Brigid Vacca
Humility is not a virtue that I thought I struggled with. I don't think anyone would say that I brag or try to draw attention to myself. Actually, I thought that I had more of a struggle with the opposite--like many women, I've had low self-esteem for much of my life.

The Real Good Shepherd
The Real Good Shepherd
By Teresa Hurst
I don’t know about you, but “shepherd” was not an option in my high school career aptitude test. That makes sense as, come to think of it, there really aren’t any job openings in metro Detroit for sheep herders. With so little experience I have a misguided view of what a shepherd really is and does. My mind’s eye view is a biblical man in robes with his trusty staff- or perhaps even Little Bo Peep

The Alarm Clock and the Monastery
The Alarm Clock and the Monastery
By Sue Hallett
This morning I was ironing a shirt when I thought about St. Benedict. The nuns at the monastery where I go on retreat bow to one another as they begin their chapel services. I always thought that was just one more thing they did, until, years after I began going there, one of them explained that they always used to bow to each other every time they passed in the hall.

A Legacy from my Recusant Past
A Legacy from my Recusant Past
By David Torkington
On the day when Pope Benedict first used the Internet ‘to tweet’, he was asked by one of his respondents, how can married people, living such busy lives, find time for prayer? He replied –“By offering everything that is said and done each day to God.” First thoughts on waking each morning he said should be to offer the forthcoming day to him.

The Most Important Story You'll Ever Tell
The Most Important Story You'll Ever Tell
By Sterling Jaquith
As goals are being set for 2016, there is one that I think everyone should add this year and that is to tell their conversion story to at least one person. Now you may be thinking, “I’ve always been Catholic so I don’t have a conversion story.” But there is a moment in everyone’s life where they stop choosing their parent’s religion and they choose it for themselves – that is a conversion.

As I write this our dear cousin, Connie Aviar Calanza, passed away suddenly at the age of 53 just yesterday. She was also our neighbor and one place we always went on special occasions like birthdays, holidays, fiesta, etc.

With Jesus at the Jordan
With Jesus at the Jordan
By Mary Rivers
From the sidelines we have watched the engagement and recent marriage of a young couple in our parish. They stood apart from others as a couple not only truly in love with each other, but also with the Lord. Converted to the faith, their zeal for their faith was evident by their actions: caring for others, growing in knowledge of the Lord, and joyfully sharing their faith with all.
