By Stacy LaMorte When was the last time you received a handwritten letter in the mail? Not just a greeting card that was signed by the sender, but a real, bona fide note or letter the way we used to write them to a pen pal or someone we love? It sounds so old-fashioned, but […]

By Stacy LaMorte Do you know how most things are better with friends or family around? Learning about God and our beautiful Catholic faith is no exception. About two years ago, I received a call from a fellow parishioner asking me to help her start a “Walking with Purpose” ministry in our parish. I really […]
The Sacraments Bring Us Together

By Stacy LaMorte God gave us the sacraments to bring us together and for a visible sign of his presence in our lives. Just this past week, I attended the funeral Mass of my grandmother, my Mimi. She was a devout Catholic throughout her life, bringing up her two children as such. Her faith was […]

By Stacy LaMorte We do all sorts of things in our lives to fill voids, which is only human. However, it is important for us and for us to teach our kids how to build awareness around what we are actually seeking when we do the things to fill the void. Most times, what we […]

By Stacy LaMorte I have a confession to make: my Holy Week this year was not so holy. As our children have grown, they have begun to participate in spring break with their friends (and chaperones, of course). This year was the third year in a row that I have been a part of all […]

By Stacy LaMorte You have likely heard people say that, as parents, we have to be sure to take care of our health so that we can be the best version of ourselves. Our spiritual health is no different. On a plane, the flight attendant explains that in case of loss of cabin pressure, adults […]

By Stacy LaMorte Do you know the best gift you can give your kids that spans every age group, gender and budget? The gift of failure. Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not depart from it.” I do not claim to […]

By Stacy LaMorte Jesus was so insightful and knew his flock so well. He knew that we learn better from stories than from mere transmission of facts. When you think about the things you have heard that have really impacted your life, I would venture to say that you remember the facts because of the […]
