This week on Catholic Review Radio, Christopher Gunty talks with Craig Gould, director of the Office of Family, Youth and Young Adult Ministries, about activities that families and individuals of all ages can do to get ready. Deacon Greg Kandra of the Deacon’s Bench blog talks about “pacing yourself” so that by the time Christmas arrives, it’s not anti-climactic.
