IN OTHER NEWS:

While looking for something else I came across these interesting websites: saintpetersbasilica.org is not officially associated with the Vatican but is an interesting place to find out all kinds of information about it. Next in my searches came Catholicparent.org. Finally is Catholicdirectory.com.

C C sent in this link to an interesting conversion story. Thanks!

"Recently, Dr. Peter C. Kleponis, Ph.D., a licensed Clinical Therapist and Assistant Director of Comprehensive Counseling Services in West Conshohocken, PA, offered a workshop for the priests, seminarians and others in pastoral ministry on the subject of pornography and its devastating impact upon the lives of our people. Specifically, the presentation addressed the prevalence of pornography in our culture, the dangers of pornography, and the pastoral care for those individuals struggling with this affliction."  Read more here.

"The FEST, a free, one day Catholic family festival, will be held on Sunday, August 7th (12pm-10pm) at the Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe. Tens of thousands will gather for games, activities and much more. The festivities conclude with Mass and fireworks display."  Read more here.
