Bill from Catholic Table Talk invited me on again to talk about what I hoped to accomplish with the trip and my book.

I hope you give it a listen here and support Bill’s efforts.

This is St. Stanislaus in Warsaw, N.D. If the names of the town and church didn’t give away the town’s origins, the names on the adjacent headstones surely do.

The church here is known as the Cathedral on the Prairie. It sits just across the street from St. Gianna’s Maternity Home, an incredible place where pregnant women from difficult circumstances can come and give birth to and raise their children in a loving, faith-filled home.

I had an incredible, life-changing visit with the women there.

Two years ago (church calendarly speaking), I was in Blythewood, S.C., to sit down with Connie Turgeon, a woman who thoroughly embodied this quote from St. Faustina. It was such a pleasure sharing her story of mercy in the book.

If you’d like to read about her story and others, you can find 52 Masses at: https://52masses.square.site

Our Lady of Guadalupe, Co-Cathedral of the Diocese of Belize City-Belmopan.

I took hundreds of photos during my trip, but none reflected the faith better than this Palm Sunday processional shot.

Holy Week is here.

Greetings from San Pedro Island, Belize. This is San Pedro Catholic Church. It turns out you don’t need to work too hard to name the parish when your island already gets its name from St. Peter.

Holy Week is nearing. Prepare.
