Road to Reconciliation
Road to Reconciliation
By Patti J. Mitchell
I am proud to say I’m a convert to Catholicism, baptized in 2006. My RCIA journey was amazing, and each class drew me closer to a God I had never known. When giving testimony at pro-life events, I always share my baptismal experience. I was told the waters of baptism would wash away past sins, but I was scared to death.

Body Building
Body Building
By Jen Schlameuss-Perry
There is a new trend in our Church. For generations, there was a very typical family pattern—young married couples would move into the area, register in the parish, baptize their infants and get their kids enrolled in CCD throughout their school years (the parents would volunteer to teach CCD and were involved in The Altar Rosary and Holy Name Society), until they received their Confirmation.

Learning by Feasting
Learning by Feasting
By NA
God created the world in six days and took his rest or leisure on the seventh. Think about that: God rested on the seventh day. Does God really need to rest? Nope. He’s the ultimate energy source. God was insuring that we, his creation, had a day built in for rest and spiritual nourishment.

St Stephen and a Hog Killing
St Stephen and a Hog Killing
By Ebeth Weidner
Many wonder why we have to be confronted with the martyrdom of a young brave man from the early Church the day after Christmas.

We Can't Buy a House in Heaven
By Andee de Jesus
When we set our mind to speak and do good actions, we will harbor good things. Our relationship to God starts from Him, He gave us life, wisdom, free will. And when we accepted and surrender on His love, we will be able to see great blessings in our lives and in His eternal gift.

What Did Jesus Look Like?
What Did Jesus Look Like?
By Dan Goddu
Perhaps you remember a classmate in elementary school, you know, the awkward one; the one that everyone seemed to pick on. Maybe at a time you pitied him because of the abuse he was subjected to. Maybe at other times you might have even joined in, getting a laugh at his expense.

Ever Been Hurt By a Priest?
Ever Been Hurt By a Priest?
By Bill Dunn
Yes, I realize many people over the years have been traumatized by the crime of sexual assault, as some emotionally disturbed perverts entered the priesthood and then preyed on innocent teenage boys.
