If you missed my interview on CatholicTV‘s This Is the Day last Friday, you can check it out here on video. My segment, in which I talk about the Faith & Family Mom’s Day Away (There is still time to register!), begins at about 18:00.

Happy birthday to the sweet light of our lives — joyful, cheerful, sweet and good Kateri. We love you! God is so good to have blessed us with you!

Lopsided Lent

At Faith & Family, our transition to new ownership is complete, but our work has just begun. As a direct result of the tumult of the transition process, the magazine and website took some hard hits in recent months. I am firmly committed to serving Catholic moms and families through our work at Faith & Family, but we will need your support in order to succeed.

Ads help to defray some of our costs, but Faith & Family Live and Faith & Family Connect are a service we are able to provide for our readers only if they are financially backed by subscription sales of Faith & Family magazine.

We have been hard at work on our spring issue and I am so excited to share it with you. If you appreciate what we do at Faith & Family Live, won’t you consider supporting it by renewing or purchasing a subscription to the magazine? Or share the love! Perhaps there is a friend you would like to surprise with a gift subscription to Faith & Family?

Your support is what makes Faith & Family possible. I hope that you will consider giving us the shot in the arm and vote of confidence we need by subscribing today. Thank you!
