Justin has been described with the following words:  'Fatica has an electric presence in front of groups large and small, showing an emotional range from joy to anger, calmness to fervent pleas. His passionate, if unorthodox tactics have been remarkably successful in reaching teens and young adults. He has keen insights into the struggles of today's young people that will prove eye-opening to your listeners."

Deacon Tom Fox shares a reflection entitled Rembrandt and Reconciliation urging confession for all during this Lenten season.  Please consider SQPN during this year's [Giving Campaign](http://sqpn.com/2009/02/25/the-sqpn-giving-campaign-2009/) and help us share the faith with new media.  Share your feedback at 206-339-9272, comment here on the blog or email lisa@catholicmom.com.
