Peaceful and Prayerful
We live about an hour from two different monasteries. Interestingly, they are a few miles from each other but in different time zones. Since my parents and I had a day to explore while the kids were in school and Bill was at work, I invited them on a field trip. The first is the […]
Our first Communicant
The sacraments are an incredible rite of passage in our faith. I can’t believe this day is finally here for Mason. He looks so mature and handsome. His smile captures my heart.
