The Advent of Our Mission

Published December 1, 2014 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

I spent this Thanksgiving looking into our country from the outside, since right now I’m doing a bit of traveling  in South America.

Why The New Evangelization Will Fail at Your Parish

Published March 24, 2014 • Written by Chris Bartlett Filed Under: Blog

Check your calendar, we are about a month away from the canonization of Pope John Paul the Second.  His dream of the New Evangelization had a scope that was vast and while it was filled with hope, his vision was colossal.  Honesty, I cannot image God working in any other way.  However, from the current… [Read More]

Volunteering for education-related ministries is one of the ways that I’ve learned the most about our faith. This school year is my first year volunteering with high school teens.
