St Dominic Savio


First, I apologize for the long delay in posting! I have good intentions but little time like most people! I hope to get more regular in writing!

Today is the feast day of one of my families all time favorite Saints! St Dominic Savio! He is such a favorite that 2 of my children have made their First Holy Communions on this day and today is the one year anniversary for one of them. Also, my 15 year old will take this Saint as his namesake in Confirmation in less than a month now.

St Dominic Savio is a great patron for children who adore. He served with great reverence at Holy Mass for St John Bosco from the age of 5. He lived a life close to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist. He had such a love for Mary.

I encourage you to learn more about him and share his life story with the children in your lives and envoke his prayers for your children.


God bless you all!

7th Anniversary

Yesterday was a very special day for me! It was the 7th anniversary of beginning childrens adoration at my home parish of St Francis of Assisi in Wichita, Kansas. We began 02/02/02 at 2 pm! I can hardly believe it has been so long now. So many graces and miracles from these times of prayer with the children. I will write more this week about times from these hours but for today let me tell you of one precious memory from the first hour....

A young mother arrived with her 5 year old son, Alex, and said they were so happy to be there but would have to leave right after to get to another appointment and wouldn't have time to stop and talk. She thanked me in advance for getting this going, etc, and so we had our hour and when it was over we all left the chapel and I was surprised to see My friend and her son had gone back up to the front of the chapel and were kneeling in front of Jesus. Later she called me and said she had needed to leave to get to an urgent appointment but after it was over this little son whom she worried might not last an hour of adoration had turned to her while walking out and said, "Mom, can we stay a little longer? I'm not done talking to Jesus yet!" :-) She said, "How could I resist!"

Catholic Schools Week


Well, sorry for the delay in really kicking this blog off! It has been an amazingly busy two weeks for me, first with the preparations and then the actual week of activities getting Brother to all the schools. Let me tell you a bit about what we did....

We plan each year to bring in a Brother to lead children at various schools in our Diocese of Wichita, Kansas. This year it was fantastic! Br Gabriel Thomas joined us and was able to lead over 2400 children in 5 whirlwind days!

The differences in the schools is amazing! Some, and actually most of the schools here have atleast one day per month where the children are brought in to the church for adoration. They are led by either parent volunteers or teachers. I will talk more about that in future posts. But for now I will show you a few pictures from this fantastic week here.... more later...... :-)
