We keep in prayer our brothers and sisters in Ukraine and neighboring countries caught up in violent conflict and devastation. May dialogue bring reconciliation and restore peace to the region and reestablish human rights, democratic principles, and religious liberty for all. --Board Chair Fr. Anthony Vinson, O.S.B.

What I love about the Catholic Church
I love that women in the Catholic Church have the choice to enter religious life. Not very many other religions have something like the sisterhood that Catholicism does. I feel empowered that I can be an unmarried woman without children and still have a place in society and the Church.
Favorite scripture passage
"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" (Matthew 5:9).
