By Larry Peterson
In 1818, Michael Morris Healy left Ireland for America and settled in what is today, Macon, Georgia.

Among them was a 16-year-old girl named Mary Eliza Smith.

By Kevin J. Banet
What is it like for parents whose daughter wants to enter the convent? It is not always one of complete joy. Of course, most parents want their children to be happy in life.

Your Prayer Matters
By Susan Skinner
I had another dream on Wednesday night. In the dream I was on my knees praying the Rosary. Then God lifted the veil and he showed me what my prayer was doing. I saw myself holding a sword, slaying demons. Then I awoke remembering an old journal I had. God wanted me to remember it.
