Most Catholics, at some point in their lifetime, will be asked by someone who is not Catholic why they hold the beliefs they do.

Want a movie to watch over Thanksgiving break?
Mitch Albom, author of the number one New York Times bestseller Tuesdays with Morrie, released another hit–Have a Little Faith–at the beginning of this year. This book has now been turned into a motion picture that will be premiering on ABC Sunday, November 27th from 9pm-11pm.
Catholic.org even posted about this upcoming premiere! The trailer for this movie gives you a taste of what it will be like–it has been reviewed as a “story about life’s purpose – losing belief and finding it again – and about the divine spark inside all of us.

Peace all!

All Saints Day

What’s happening in Somalia?
The condition of Somalian peoples has been worsening over time, being particularly severe this fall. We’ve mentioned this a few times in prayer, but I think it’s necessary to give a more overarching story of what is actually happening in Somalia.
