By Ty Salvant What were your summer plans? Did they include camp, visits to grandparents, vacations or just downtime? Regardless of what you’re doing, how you spend your summer is vital.

By Charlotte Phillips A few weeks ago, I went to City Park’s Carousel Gardens with my family and found myself on the swings with our 7-year-old. We both excitedly buckled ourselves into our swing – him in the swing in front of me. As we began to swing in circles, I couldn’t help but think, […]

By Christine Bordelon Today being Mother’s Day has me thinking a lot about the sacrifices that women make when they become mothers. I don’t think most of us considered what being a mom entails when we first got married. I know I didn’t. I am the oldest of five children, and I can tell you […]

By Jenny Dendinger With tears in my eyes, I watched my son process into Mass. It was his first time serving and, with his older brother by his side, I prayed he wouldn’t be too nervous. When we joined the Traditional Latin Mass, we learned to genuflect and make the Sign of the Cross as […]

Posted on May 7, 2023 Leave a Comment
By Sarah McDonald Each day, I end my morning prayers asking for the intercession of Our Lady of Prompt Succor and saying, “Deus Providebit,” which translated into English is “God will provide.” It is a prayerful habit I have kept since my days at Archbishop Chapelle High School in Metairie.

By Charla Misse My son’s fifth grade religion teacher assigns homework on Fridays. One was “Go to Mass.” I love that. A “little” thing like a child urging to attend Mass can make a big difference for the whole family. On a recent weeknight, this teacher’s assigned homework was, “Pray the Memorare.” Wow. Now, that […]
