The sacred week where we enter into the Pascal mystery of our redemption is nearing. How are you preparing for Holy Week?
It’s my favorite liturgical season again…Lent. Time to refocus, reframe and refresh our relationship with the Lord.
Well it’s that time of year again…what should I give up for Lent? Most of us tend to do the same thing year after year…chocolate, coffee, beer.

Allison Ricciardi encourages you this Lent season as you pursue happiness to strive for increased holiness in your daily living.
