We Are All Called to Lives of Holiness
Hi all! It's been quite a while since I've posted anything. We went through our move and now I am working long hours in Christ's vineyard, so I haven't had a lot of time for writing. I was asked earlier this year to be a speaker at the Worcester Women's Conference in Webster, Massachusetts on …

I've had multiple people ask me recently why I haven't been writing at Catholic Exchange. After 7 years of writing almost weekly for them, I decided to take a break from regular writing. God has been moving my family and me in a new and unexpected direction. We are actually moving across the state--eastward!--where I …
Hello all! My husband suggested that I post the talks I'm giving in my parish for a Marian consecration that will occur on the Solemnity of the Visitation on May 31st. It's based on Fr. Michael Gaitley's 33 Days to Morning Glory. Unfortunately, we didn't have a microphone during the discussion period after my talk, …

This year there are exactly 54 days between the Memorial of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Memorial of St. John Vianney. With everything that has been facing the priesthood and the need for renewal, now is the time to pray a 54-Day Rosary Novena for our priests. My area will be doing a …
We live in an age of hostility towards men within our culture and within the Church. After years of discussions with my husband and my guy friends it’s become clear that men don’t think they’re being engaged by the Church. Too often the Church has embraced the erroneous teachings of radical feminism as opposed to …

The time of St. Joseph is now! He is the saint and spiritual father we need to call men to authentic masculinity in a time when men are constantly denigrated by our culture. In this video I talk about how St. Joseph has impacted my husband and me and how men in the pews and …
