Published October 13, 2016 • Written by William Rooney Filed Under: ACNM, Blog

Published January 22, 2014 • Written by Joshua Villarreal Filed Under: Family, Marriage and Love, Young Adult, Youth

“Most of You Are Probably Called To Marriage”, said Mark Hart at DCYC 2013. Suddenly, a look of annoyance crossed his face. “Excuse me,” he said, “Some of you are called to marriage. SOME of you, but not all of you.” I remember, at the time, the fact that he went out of his way… [Read More]

Published April 25, 2012 • Written by Brandon Kraft Filed Under: Blog, Faith

It happens. Our beloved priest. The priest that said Mass for us that one time. The priest that celebrated your niece’s First Communion. The priest that helped out at my neighbor’s kid’s school.
