Made for Greatness

The standard of success in today’s society seems to be the amount of money one makes, the fame they have, the accomplishments on their resume, the number of followers on social media and the list goes on. As parents we want the very best for our children, we want them to succeed and we want […]

Spiritually Equipped

November 5, 2025November 3, 2025 Articles, Faith and Spirituality, Family and Kids

Life is so busy. Time goes by too quickly. Two phrases we probably find ourselves saying far too often especially as we draw nearer to the end of the calendar year. We live in a time of endless modern conveniences right at our fingertips yet our lives still seem busier than ever. Advertisers and consumerism […]

Sacred Moments

August 20, 2025August 14, 2025 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

It was my senior year of high school and I had been agonizing for weeks trying to decide on which college I should attend following graduation. I had it narrowed down to my top two, one close to home and the other states away. As I knelt after Holy Communion, the missionary priest visiting our […]

Choosing Our Friends

May 16, 2025May 7, 2025 Articles, Family and Kids

We probably can all remember our parents telling us to choose our friends wisely, and now, decades later, we may find ourselves repeating the same thing to our children. I can recall several conversations with my own children about the peers they choose to be around and the impact it has on their decisions. Whether […]

When Life is Tangled

May 15, 2025May 7, 2025 Articles, Faith and Spirituality, Family and Kids

We all have had moments in our lives when situations or events arise that are incredibly difficult, it seems like there is no way out and the circumstance is too dire. Whether it is the loss of a job, marital difficulties, a terminal diagnosis, cancer spreading, addiction, a loved one away from the Church, infertility […]

Childlike Faith

November 7, 2024November 5, 2024 Articles, Faith and Spirituality, Family and Kids

If you have been around kids long enough you know that they are full of energy and that their joy and laughter is contagious. Their imaginations are vast and their ability to move on from disappointment quickly. There are many days I wonder how my two year old can keep going long past her nap […]

Learning to Simply Be

August 16, 2024August 13, 2024 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

It never ceases to amaze me how fast the summer goes by. From emptying everyone’s backpacks to now checking the school supply lists, it seems like only a few weeks have passed. I know it sounds cliché, but time goes by fast! Sometimes I feel like it is an accelerated pace and I am just […]

I Want Jesus

May 8, 2024May 8, 2024 Articles, Catechesis

It seems Mass with my almost two-year-old has me spending the majority of the time in the back of church. I find myself allowing her to exercise some of her energy, while I try to still fully participate in the liturgy. With all of my children I have always pointed to the elevated host as […]

The Joy of the Cross

February 8, 2024February 5, 2024 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

We live in a world of modern convenience, a society that values instant gratification and is fueled by busyness. There seems to be little time to wait and a constant need to have everything be quicker and faster. I must say, I have grown accustomed to grocery pickup and doing the shopping through the convenience […]

Equip Your Prayer Life

February 7, 2024February 2, 2024 Articles, Faith and Spirituality

It was in the early years of our marriage that my husband and I struggled with infertility and grieved the loss of several babies to miscarriage. As heavy as the cross was to carry and at moments even difficult for me to pray, we found ourselves constantly praying the 54-Day Rosary Novena. One after another, […]

More Than Just Coffee

February 5, 2024February 2, 2024 Articles, News and Culture

You have probably seen the saying, Give Me Jesus and Coffee! If you are like me I love waking up to a hot cup of coffee to start my morning as I make breakfast and pack lunches, before sending the kids out the door for school. It turns out I am in good company, as […]

The Perfect Family

November 10, 2023November 3, 2023 Articles, Family and Kids

My one-year-old didn’t sleep well, waking up multiple times throughout the night, and awake and restless for over an hour in the wee hours of the morning. The cinnamon rolls didn’t make it in the oven as I had planned, instead, I was putting finishing touches on my children’s All Saints Day costumes as they […]
