Mary of Nazareth Movie in Austin and Ticket Giveaway

Published September 24, 2013 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: World and News

One of my favorites subjects is the relationship of art and the faith. I’m absolutely convinced that the Church is in need of improving the quantity and quality of art it produces, and film is one of the areas where we are lacking the most. There is a new film about our Blessed Mother Mary,… [Read More]

The Silence of the Lamb

Published March 30, 2013 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Young Adult, Youth

Ladies and gents, I think I might be clinically insane. There are many reasons I think this might be true, not the least of which is my propensity for cackling maniacally while formulating plans to take over the world, but if you’re not entirely convinced, I think I could prove my point if you just… [Read More]

How to keep your tween a child for just a little while longer

Published March 20, 2013 • Written by Lauren Gulde Filed Under: Family, Social Media and Tech, Youth

Tween. Tween? Such a strange word. When I was growing up, we didn’t call ourselves that. We were either kids, or teens. There was no in beTWEEN. But, as weird as the word is, there might be some good in setting this stage of childhood off as its own separate category. There’s a lot going… [Read More]

Media Discernment and You

Published June 12, 2012 • Written by Lindsay Wilcox Filed Under: Blog, Faith

I have a love/hate relationship with the media. I am Catholic and I am committed to my faith, but I work with many non-Catholics and with Catholics who are seeking direction. Being a good evangelist means I have to keep track of what’s going on outside the Catholic bubble, to follow the Bible’s advice to… [Read More]

Published June 7, 2012 • Written by Rachel Filed Under: Blog

After experiencing the movie “For Greater Glory” last weekend, I was compelled to write. I hope this serves as a useful movie review, and then some (y aún más) – for I knew upon leaving the theatre that the experience demanded reflection. Practical bits first. This movie is rated R for a reason – the… [Read More]

Engaging the Culture of Today

Published October 25, 2011 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Blog, Faith

I’m often surprised by the way some people seem to think that God doesn’t put much thought into the details. Almost as if things accidentally fell into place and He just hopes for the best. He deserves a lot more credit than that – God is omnipotent and He has no limits. We are living… [Read More]
