Which Way are You Facing?

On a recent episode of Prairie Rome Companion, one of the panelists stated to use a business analogy,  the primary issue facing the church in North America is not customer service, but new sales.  In other words, there is a great need to need to evanglize and provide catechesis to non practicing Catholics and the [...]

Catholic Roundup 92- 3rd Podversary

Play

I realized it has been a little over 3 years that I have been releasing podcasts on this site, first as the blog, A Catholic Canadian.  During my first 40 Days of Catholic Media in 2008, I realized I was posting a majority of podcast content as opposed to blogging, so I gave in.  On [...]

Inter Mirifica– Our Monday Reading

Yesterday we got to meet Ellen Gable and [...]
