As the Tension Grows
As Holy Week approaches, the tension is palpable.

I would like to share with you an incredible place where such a musician had a great vision, informed by the mind and heart of the Church.

* Thirteen Men & Coins (Holy Thursday Appeal)

This “coin” business seems providential—inasmuch as our appeal begins on Holy Thursday this year.
