As I was getting ready to shut down my machine and head to London (no, not England - Ontario), I saw the following message sent to me by one of our sisters…it made me laugh out loud…enjoy…(I would guess it’s not exactly a true story, but it’s funny anyway.)
George W. Bush was recently addressing a [...]

Today I had lunch with a friend who works for the Archdiocese of Detroit, who told me there was a collective sigh of relief among some co-workers when this news broke. (Our Archbishop, Cardinal Maida, has applied for retirement, and it’s anyone’s guess how long it will take Rome to assign a successor.)
Here’s an excerpt [...]

I just posted something for today, but I cannot let this good news go by without saying anything. The new Congregation of St. Joseph, made up of seven formerly autonomous congregations, finished its first General Chapter last week.

Like most people in this nation, I’m stunned by what happened yesterday in Virginia. I know some colleagues who teach engineering there, and I cannot imagine the shock and grief they must be experiencing.

No matter how rough this term has been, this song by David Haas never fails to put a smile on my face. At Gesu, Easter Vigil is the only time I’ve heard it used, so it really is special when we do get a chance to sing it. I wish I had brought home my [...]

Or as my mom greeted me today, “Merry Easter!” The weather has us a little confused as of late. While it wasn’t technically a “white Easter,” we had about an inch on Friday, even though it didn’t really stay on the ground very long.
I have a more thoughtful reflection coming, but I just wanted to [...]

If you have been a visitor to my blog, then you will be sure to notice that it has a different look than it did. WordPress offers a number of different themes, and while I like the basic look of the old theme, it seemed to me that the light color of the text against [...]
