Reflections of Family and Faith
"The family that prays together stays together." - Venerable Patrick Peyton
Have you ever noticed how God can teach us when we least expect it? The story of Abram is a great example. There he was at the age of 99, pretty certain of the last chapter of his life, and then God appeared and revealed what He intended in what He offered Abram and Sarai. God can do the same for us, and I’d bet already has for each of you in varied ways.

My own relationship with Father’s Day is complicated.

Celebrating family life | Return to the Church
It’s great to visit the Father Peyton Center in North Easton, Massachusetts for a few days! As I was born and raised around here and I have served in Family Rosary for so many years, this area will always be “home” for me. Some will remember that our Provincial Superior asked me to go to Santiago, Chile, so I moved at Christmas. As I have also served in that part of the world before, I was happy to say “yes,” and I have been getting settled in there well.
