It was a more worthwhile learning experience than dressing up as superheroes and cartoon characters for Halloween. You would have those would bring…

• God is God and I Am Not

  An Everyday Stewardship Reflection for 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time 2016 I really loved watching Tim Russert, former NBC News Washington bureau chief and moderator of Meet the Press, who passed away in 2008. I guess what I loved the most about him was his tremendous sense of humility. He was a brilliant political mind,…

• Teaching Stewardship

  Today is National Teacher Appreciation Day and I was thinking about my many teachers through the years. I went through 16 years of Catholic School and 2 years of graduate work, so that is a lot of teachers. They were mostly female, until I got into my college years when they became mostly male. Of…

• The Good News of Catholic Schools

  For more than two decades, I was involved with RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults.) There are many reasons why people decide to deepen their relationship with God or become fully initiated into the Catholic Church. Each person has a unique story and journey.

• The Choice for Catholic Schools

  I grew up in a home with one Catholic parent and one un-baptized parent. I attended Mass every Sunday with my mother, but I wouldn’t classify her as a fully engaged parishioner. She worked on one parish Christmas bazaar, but for the most part, Sunday was the only time parish life intersected with our everyday…
