Fruitfulness in Faith
Thank you for the warm reception to my joining the Catholic Herald staff! I appreciated the feedback from my first column linking Natural Family Planning with a foundation of navigating life with a faith perspective.
United in faith

Next gen NFP
Natural Family Planning can feel like un-Natural Family Planning and even, at times, Natural Family un-Planning.
A time of transition
In all journeys, we come to crossroads. For me, weeklong vacations with my family – something my parents, sisters and our families have managed to accomplish twice in five years – are rare gifts, a glimpse into how life might have been if we’d all lived a century earlier.

Being a witness to faith in Wisconsin
As a Church, we react to human suffering and try to aid those in need. However, many in Wisconsin are not aware of a pervasive blight in our state that preys upon women, children, and men. It coerces and tricks individuals into performing uncompensated work often in degrading circumstances and with dangerous consequences. This scourge is human trafficking, and it is on the rise in Wisconsin and throughout our nation.
