As our son completed his preparation, I started wondering where we would finally be to see him receive the actual sacrament.

As the Hispanic population grows quickly and steadily in the United States, fewer Hispanics self-identify with Roman Catholicism.

Since as Catholics we believe that marriage is for life, obviously the church does not recommend having a prenuptial agreement, which seems like a pre-plan for an eventual divorce.

Jesus taught us, despite his fear in the garden, how to die well — with integrity and commitment.

When Jesus was “resurrected” in the proper sense of the term, he moved totally beyond death and could never die again.

We had a magnificent Easter, one that continues!

He extends his grace, invites us to feast at the Eucharistic table, and welcomes us home.

How fortunate we are to find strength and support in our friends – and offer them our love and support in return. We can be sure that those connections are no accident.
