As regular readers know, our fundraising efforts run pretty much constantly. While this can admittedly be a nuisance at times, it’s our belief that by setting smaller, more manageable monthly fundraising goals, we’re better able to work with our supporters on a basis that isn’t as big of a burden as a (more commonly seen)…
I recently celebrated the 25th anniversary of my conversion to Catholicism. When I think back to the time of my conversion, I remember that it was a season of much optimism in the Church.
