Too many Conferences, Too much distance, Too little time

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

Rosary Army and SQPN are hosting the Catholic New Media Celebration on June 22 in Atlanta. Unfortunately that’s still the school year for me and it’s just too far to go for a weekend. If it were even one week later, my family would be there. I need to be with [...]

I was on TV (for 5 seconds)

Monday, March 24th, 2008

I have always been reticent about making a public witness to my faith, preferring to let my actions and my character be a witness to my faith. (I still think this is the best witness).

Day 35 of 40 Days of Catholic Media: Maria Lectrix

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

I’d been meaning to write about Maria Lectrix some time during these 40 days, and this seemed like a good time. Since September 2005 (which pre-dates Librivox, Maureen O’ Brien has been doing a daily podcast of readings of public domain literature. Her tastes are very catholic (note the lower-case c) [...]

Day 27: SQPN website gets major overhaul
