Alright, the Pro-Life Youth Conference that Sister Marie Andre roped me into is this Saturday! Barring any technical difficulties, you can actually watch it 3-8 pm streaming live at AirMaria. It’s going to have quite a number of speakers on various pro-life topics and should be worth your while. If there are trolls chewing through [...]

So you know those sisters who are so sweet yet incredibly persistent and always seem to get you to volunteer for things you might not do? Well Sister Marie Andre, SCMC, has asked me to do a talk at the Pro-Life Youth Conference on March 28, 2009 at the Academy of the Holy Family in [...]
