Taking Back Pink
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Health on Monday, October 31, 2011 3:59 PM
My Halloween “treat” to myself this year was a trip to my local women’s imaging center for my annual mammogram. I managed to fit it into the month of October, but just barely, and am happy to report that I received a clean bill of health. I don’t know if having had so many treatments and mammos over the past years has dulled my senses, but it even seemed less uncomfortable than past screenings.

Amidst news reports on battles & skirmishes, it can be difficult to see what’s happening in the larger conflict.
Here’s a heartening article about the long-term success of the pro-life movement.
You may or may not agree with some of the political assumptions, but you’ll like this news:
In 2011 alone, 24 states have enacted 52 new restrictions on abortion. Five now require an ultrasound before an... READ MORE

Have A Plan for the All Souls Octave
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Faith on Friday, October 28, 2011 12:00 PM
Just a quick reminder—since Saturday is the typical parish Confession day—that not only Halloween & All Saints Day are upon us, but also All Souls’ Day, and an entire octave of days to release souls from Purgatory.
You’ll find a quick reminder of the hows, whys and wherefores at the link.
I was grateful for the advanced notice!
P.S. Fr. Z. indicates there that we’re to pray for the Holy Father’s “monthly intentions.” This is the first time I’ve run into that qualifier—I’ve always understood “Holy Father’s intentions,” generally—whatever they might be. From the point of view of intent and fulfillment of the indulgence, I’m certain it’s fine, since the latter includes the former. Just curious if that’s a new one on anyone else.

Easy Costume Ideas
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Thursday, October 27, 2011 10:21 AM
[Because it might be helpful for panicking moms across the country, I’m re-running this post from a few years ago.]
It’s that time of year again. As the poll we have going in the sidebar indicates, in late October many Catholic moms find themselves preparing to celebrate Halloween, All Saints Day, or some combination of the two.
And that means COSTUMES.
Have you been sewing for weeks and now your... READ MORE
