All Saints Fantasy Baseball Team

Like a lot of you, I have been enjoying the World Series this year, which is arguably one of the most entertaining Series in the recent past. In 6 games we have already seen 62 points, 23 home runs, 2 extra innings games and 5 out of 6 were close, within just 1 or 2 points. It is without question “heavenly” since it is between the celestial Houston Astros and angelic Los Angeles Dodgers. But with the intersection of [...]

Each of us took a turn, and the results were quite eye catching… From blue spiky hair to pink sparkly nails, the Catholic Door staff is making a statement. If you’re looking for attention to [...]

Many non-Catholics say Jesus is risen and having an image of the suffering Jesus on the cross takes away from the power of the Resurrection. And others argue we are keeping Jesus on the cross. Catholics are no more keeping Jesus on the cross than all Christians keep Jesus an infant when they display statues or figurines of [...]
