How often have you meditated upon your wishes for a priest at the end of his life? In honor of Monsignor Collins and all deceased priests, Deacon Tom has prepared this reflection on "What Happens When a Priest Dies".

In this week’s Mary Moment, Sarah Reinhard examines the first joyful mystery, the Annunciation, as a Yes Factor we can all use in our lives.  Special thanks to Susan Bailey, who graciously agreed to let us use her Ave Maria music.

Why do we go to mass? To GET something, or to GIVE something?  In this week's teen moment, Avery (www.livewtl.com) shares a reflection on going to mass with the right mindset.
