More often than not when we think of stewardship our minds turn toward taking care of the environment and, if we are practicing our faith, supporting our church community. But what about us as persons and individual creations? Are we caring for our physical, spiritual and emotional well-being as well as the gifts, talents and abilities that have been entrusted to us?

Mary's Passion and Modern Day Motherhood. What is the Connection?
By James Berkon
How does this instance of Our Lady encountering Jesus on the way to his crucifixion apply to modern day motherhood? You probably are tempted to say, “Her son was perfect.

Courage, Trust and Riding a Bike...
By Carlos Espinosa
"Do you know what courage is?" I asked my 8-year-old son in frustration, after repeatedly trying to get him to trust that I wouldn't let go of his bike seat if he started pedaling. "It's when you're afraid, but you do it anyway."

A Child Shall Lead Them
A Child Shall Lead Them
By Sherry Kenner
Over the years, I have enjoyed watching and listening to Mother Angelica on EWTN. Mother was feisty, funny, and faithful. I especially loved her Bible storytelling skills.

Growing in Grace
Growing in Grace
By Mike Bugal
As cradle Catholics we were baptized as infants… hence the term “cradle”. This Baptism freed us from Original Sin and began our initiation into the Church. I have served as godfather for several of our nieces and nephews since my reversion to the Church. Godparents (or “sponsors” as they are known here) make the commitment to be responsible for the spiritual growth.

The Gift of the Eucharist
The Gift of the Eucharist
By Marie Murphy Duess
The heart of our Roman Catholic faith is the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist. It is the most important of all seven sacraments because in receiving the Eucharist, we are embracing the very body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ and become one with Him.

May is upon us and it is the month of honoring the Blessed Mother Mary. She is the Mother of all of us.

Amidst Daily Distractions: Come Near To Me
By Katie Zalany
I look around my life and most everyone I know is distracted with their smartphones, family life, work schedules, friends, sporting events, politics, vacations, advancing up the company ladder, shopping for and managing their ‘stuff’, and worries and sufferings. I wonder if anyone feels truly at peace with these things consuming their lives.

Divine Mercy Ministry

We pray for ourselves. We pray for each other. We pray for the whole world. Today I arrived at church a little before 3pm to get ready to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with whoever would show up.

Noisy Children at Mass
