Don’t Forget About Tomorrow

Published April 27, 2016 • Written by Adam Shaivitz Filed Under: Blog

Something really important is happening tomorrow. And the next day. And the day after that. A sneaky question in a priest’s homily a couple of weeks ago ties in perfectly with today’s Gospel reading. It was a first communion Mass for an enthusiastic group of second graders on a Saturday morning. During a wonderfully interactive… [Read More]
