Vincent Van Gogh: A Self-Portrait – Nov 5

Published October 21, 2015 • Written by Cristóbal Almanza Filed Under: Events

Vincent van Gogh is a definitive artist that is often only remembered for his brushstrokes and Starry Night. Like many other great artists, his story and personality is often over-simplified and forgotten. At one point in his life, van Gogh had tried a life as a preacher, but the Dutch Reformed Church didn’t find him suitable… [Read More]

Keeping Each Other Accountable: Fifty Shades of Grey

Published February 5, 2015 • Written by Rita Suva Filed Under: Marriage and Love, Young Adult

I enjoy movies. A lot. I appreciate great story lines. I get drawn by both great cinematography. I become invested in characters when an actor/actress does a good job. But this February, I won’t be watching the Valentine’s Day movie release Fifty Shades of Grey. Between the product description of the book on Amazon (which… [Read More]

The past few years a feast day in the Catholic Church I had paid little attention to began to stand out to me: The Feast of the Holy Innocents. I don’t know why this Feast Day began to stand out to me a few years ago. Perhaps it is the reminder of innocent lives lost,… [Read More]

How to Read the Bible

Published August 11, 2012 • Written by David Casper Filed Under: Blog, Young Adult, Youth

When I was a kid – probably around sixth grade or so – I decided that I wanted to read the Bible. I’d heard a lot about this Jesus fellow at church and in Sunday school, but I’d never actually just sat down and read the book He wrote. So I did. Or at least… [Read More]

Mass Starts Before You Walk In

Published September 28, 2011 • Written by Brandon Kraft Filed Under: Blog, Faith

Altar serving is one of those gigs that is virtually always reserved for youth and, sometimes, older, retired parishioners for funerals or daily Masses.

Published July 1, 2011 • Written by Sam Farias Filed Under: Blog, Faith, Young Adult
