This has been the Say Yes to Holiness Transformation Online Summit week, and it has been AWESOME! So many wonderful conversations and ideas shared, and lots of friendships made–even though we are miles apart and having to do this using Zoom and Facebook Live. Who said you can’t connect and create community virtually? Although it’s not as good as being in person, it defintiely is better than not gathering together at all! In the midst of it all, we have been challenging assumption, examining and recommitting oursleves to our core foundational principles and priorities, and dreaming BIG about the possibilities […]
As we continue to progress through the Easter Season, we have seen many recent signs of hope in our midst. The loosening of restrictions upon going out in public, the ability to interact with others–albeit while practicing social distancing, and our ability to return, if we are comfortable and well enough, to the public celebration of the Mass. Although these signs of hope bring great joy and comfort, the constant change and adjustments brings its own form of stress, anxiety and fear. Stress as we continuously are having to adjust what we used to do or how we now need […]

We all have done things that we are ashamed of. I know I sure have. The things that when we look back, we go, “Man, I TOTALLY messed that up!” Or maybe it’s just little stuff like getting impatient with someone who is driving too slowly and we flip them a not so kind hand gesture, or we speak harshly words to our son when he interrupts what we are doing when all he wants to do is share his enthusaism about something he just learned or did. And in the process of those big and small failures, a level […]
Below is the text for an article posted by Father Chris Alar, MIC about what to do so you can receive all the graces available to ANYONE (Catholic AND non-Catholic) on Divine Mercy Sunday—THIS Sunday, April 19th.

In the current reality of the COVID-19 world, many of us are struggling with lots of questions. Like how do we live in a “shelter-in-place” world where we have to practice social distancing? Or how can I ensure that someone I love isn’t going to get sick if they have to go to work or go to the grocery store to obtain food? But probably the most frequent is, when will this all be over? For us as Catholics, this connects to questions that have been addressed in previous articles about how might it be possible for my family […]
These are the words of Saint Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:55, but they were immortalized in an Easter homily by Saint John Chrysostom when he proclaimed: “O Death, where is your sting? O Hell, where is your victory? Christ is risen, and you are overthrown. Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen. Christ is risen, and the angels rejoice. Christ is risen, and life reigns. Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave. For Christ, being risen from the dead, is become the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. To Him be glory and […]
