My Gift To You On This 7th Day of Christmas (and on New Year’s Eve!)…

On this 7th day of Christmas, which is also New Year’s Eve, my gift to each of you within the Say Yes to Holiness Community is a list of resources and tools from myself and others to help you gain awareness of changes you may need to make within your own life and/or within your parish community. Why these particular resources?

It is a prime opportunity for […]
