Unexpected delays and searches at the Canadian border cause anxieties and surprises that impact our travel mood. Wow!

As parents and teachers, we plant seeds of faith deep in our children's hearts in hope, prayer, and desire to see these seeds sprout and grow throughout their lives.

Participation takes different forms according to people’s different gifts and offices, but there is a fundamental obligation arising from the sacrament of Baptism (cf.
