Creating a pro-life culture is not simply putting up posters during pro-life week or sending a few students to the March for Life. Those things are good, but if that’s all you do, it’s like putting a band-aid on an issue that’s literally life or death and saying,...
The Norwegian women’s handball team chose to wear sporty shorts rather than bikini bottoms and having been fined for it, caused world-wide conversation over sexist sports rules and modesty. Then, German women’s gymnastics wore all-over unitards rather than the popular...

We often enter conversations carelessly and find ourselves in an argument rather than a real conversation. For extremely controversial topics, such as abortion, conversation is possible—if we remember to speak to others like Jesus would to us. I’ve recently heard...

5ks may be all the rave, but would you walk 75 miles? In Europe, through mountains? On something called The Way of St. James? El Camino de Santiago is a 75-mile walking pilgrimage from the Pyrenees to Santiago de Compostela (St. James of the Field of Stars). ...

Winter is a beautiful time of year, but it is often when the mundane daily life, cabin fever, and other “winter blues” so to speak, start to take their toll on us. Physically we tend to gain weight, too, and not just as a consequence of holiday feasting. We spend time...

St. Therese’s parents, as they are most commonly known, are incredible prolife witnesses. They didn’t found the March for Life or repeal laws or establish pregnancy crisis centers, which are all amazing ways to help protect and respect life from conception until a...
Now is a great time to remember that life is precious from conception until natural death and reflect on what we can do to protect each other. Let’s ask for the intercession of these pro-life saints who undoubtedly lived with love for others, respecting their human...
