Catholic Writer and Speaker
Here’s what happened. And what is happening. And what will happen in the near future.
Change can be challenging. It is hard for me to let go of what we did for years at Faith & Family Live, but we plan to continue much of that same work at CatholicDigest.com. I hope you will stick with me on this newest endeavor.
If you would like to listen to me talk with Scot Landry, host of The Good Catholic Life, for an hour or so about Faith & Family, Catholic Digest, and The Gist … you’re in luck! You can do that today!
I’m excited to be a guest on The Good Catholic Life 4:00 – 5:00 pm EST today. If you’re not in the Boston area, you can listen to a live stream of the show at WQOM.org. See you there!
I am thrilled to be assigned the task of making Catholic Digest the kind of joyful, faith-filled publication you have always trusted me to produce, and I thank God for the opportunity to continue to serve the Church in this capacity. I am grateful for the ways many of you have supported Faith & Family magazine in the past, and pray that you will support Faith & Family Live and Catholic Digest as we begin this new endeavor.
You can read more about my new job with Catholic Digest here.
You can begin or renew a subscription to Catholic Digest here.
I am deeply grateful to everyone who has offered good wishes and prayers as I begin this new work. God bless you!
Many thanks to Jen Fulwiler over at NCRegister for her kind words about the work we do toward building Catholic community at Faith & Family Live.
