Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Catholic Motherhood | Holy Women's History Month | Holy lives of inspiration | St. Monica
For Holy Women's History Month, Alex Resch shares how her devotion to Saint Monica helps her have hope when family and friends are far from the Church. Saint Monica was the mother of Saint Augustine. Saint Augustine was a Doctor of the Church, and arguably, one of the greatest saints of all time. Much to the dismay and heartache of his holy mother, Augustine lived a less-than-holy life for much of his youth.

Faith Reflection | Hope-2025 | Jubilee of Hope | power of prayer
Praying the Rosary was not something I grew up with in my family. Today, I would like to share how I came to learn and pray the Rosary and how praying with our Blessed Mother always brings me great hope! Early in 2020, our lives were all turned upside-down. My husband’s uncle, whom we were both close to, suddenly passed away. I also had to accept not seeing my parents in Florida for quite a while due to lockdowns. This was not an easy time for anyone. During this time, I also felt a strong and loving nudge to pray the Rosary. I know that this was our Blessed Mother guiding me to the protection of her mantle. It was a time when I was very much in need of hope.
