Father Eugene Hemrick | The Human Side: Making something good out of depression
Without warning, depression hit me one day. Then came the panic attacks and mental paralysis. Life suddenly had no meaning. I found myself wanting to go back to sleep, hoping that when I awoke, I would be normal again. As I sat helplessly staring out the window, I remembered what an old Benedictine teacher once […]
Father Kenneth Doyle | Question Corner: Can suicide be forgiven?
Q: I need an answer. Our son had been suffering from clinical depression since he was 4 years old. All of the doctors and all of the medications we tried over the years seemed to do little to help. One year ago, his own son died in an auto accident at the age of 24, […]
John Garvey | Intellect and Virtue: Technology humanizes precious life

Manaolana | Lisa Gomes: Why sacraments? Isn’t faith in Jesus enough?
YOUCAT*: We can and should come to God with all our senses, not just with our intellect. That is why God gives himself to us in earthly signs — especially in bread and wine, the Body and Blood of Christ. [CCC 1084, 1146-1152] It’s important that we have faith. No doubt about that. But, at […]
Manaolana | Makana Aiona: Turning paper into people
Today’s tip: Establish a working relationship with your parish’s (registration) database. It always looks good when parishes have an event and they collect every participant’s contact and personal information (name, number, marital status, profession, etc.). But then what? If these people are never contacted, then the data collected eventually becomes useless. A rule of thumb […]
