St.Maximillian Kolbe and the Immaculate Conception
May is the month of Mary and I desire to continue to consecrate myself to our Holy Mother. This year I will be reading Fr. Michael Gaitley's book, "33 Days to Morning Glory" for the second time. Here in his book, Fr. Gaitley discusses Marian devotion through, as he describes them as the Marian giants, St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Theresa of Calcutta, and St. John Paul II.

Feeding the Family
Feeding the Family
Raising children to be strong and secure adults is the goal of every family. Therefore, families that share at least one meal together each day give their children a strong sense of security. As a result, children are stronger and more self-confident in the outside world. In her newest book, "Feeding Your Family's Soul", Donna-Marie gives parents the tools to help achieve this goal.

Movie Review: God's Not Dead, 1 and 2

How Strong is Your Faith?
You've heard of the woman, desperate for a cure, who knew that just touching the cloak of Jesus would heal her from years of medical abuse, ignorance, and pain. In that one instance she was cured, was it her actually touching Jesus' cloak, was it Jesus, or was it her faith? "Your faith has made you well..."

St Stephen and a Hog Killing
Many wonder why we have to be confronted with the martyrdom of a young brave man from the early Church the day after Christmas.

A Christmas Gift to You
A Christmas Gift to You
A few years ago, my mom gave me this homily. It's my great-uncle Fr. Samuel Haughton’s last sermon delivered, December 25, 1936. During midnight Mass, he died of a massive heart attack right as he was raising the host up for consecration. My grandfather and uncles were all up front and ran to Fr. Sam and the Eucharist.
