1/27/2024 Even before I converted to Catholicism in 2004, I was aware of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart as an iconic presence in the City of Richmond. Situated overlooking Monroe Park, it is a towering landmark recognized by people of all faiths. For Catholics, it holds significance as the sacred site of ordinations of...

1/20/2024 Based on the feedback to last week’s message, I am seriously considering letting all messages come from Moose going forward. He wanted to let you know that he is humbled by your responses to his cuteness. That said, I feel like there are some pet labor laws that require me to give him a...

Good morning, my mommy is feeling under the weather, so she asked me to send this week’s message. I asked her what I should say, and she provided the following quote: “While many of us are finding post-holiday schedules in January significantly less hectic than they were in December, that cannot be said for the data...

12/16/2023 When I say I can recite almost all the lines to several Christmas movies, I am exaggerating only slightly. Elf, Christmas Vacation, and Love Actually all have been played at my house multiple times since the beginning of the month, and I can’t wait to start the marathon of A Christmas Story at 8...

Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to be invited to events at the Barry-Robinson Center in Norfolk, which offers a residential treatment program for military-connected youth with emotional and behavioral difficulties. Many people in the Hampton Roads area are familiar the important work done there, but in case it is new to you,...

I know I am biased, but I think our Diocese is exceptional. Each week, from the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, there are special, newsworthy events happening. And while I can’t write about them all, this week I want to let you know about two. First, The Church of the Redeemer in Mechanicsville is...
