Mother Lillie in Oakland

I received an email regarding a past post about Mother Lillie. The woman asks,

"Can you please post a note that she will be in Oakland on October 8 at 6:00. At St. Margaret Marys Church in Oakland.
The dinner proceeds will go to her orphanage in Tecate, Mexico!"
If you'll be in the area, check it out.

myCatholic.com

Here's a cool new Catholic homepage to check out:

myCatholic.com is a customizable Catholic homepage that allows users to choose their own content, layout, and preferences. It offers daily Mass readings, reflections, news, the Catechism, tools, and more.

Also check out their page for wireless devices at mobile.myCatholic.com. (Although my phone screen was too small to read it all. I could only see the left half of the column.)

New Catholic Novel: "Emily's Hope"

We recently received this email from an RoL reader in IL:

Earlier this year, I ordered a copy of Arms of Love from your site. I recently came across another Catholic novel I wanted to bring to your attention --- it's absolutely amazing. It's called "Emily's Hope." Wonderful family saga that brings to life dating, courtship, chastity, NFP, and the beauty of married love. I bought it after reading a review in CCL's Family Foundations; the novel is written by an NFP instructor. I'm blown away at how well the author brings the Catholic understanding of marital intimacy alive in these pages...

Well, after a recommendation like that I got a copy of the book. I started it last night and I can tell it will be one of those "hard to put down" deals. I'll let you know what I think when I'm done but in the meantime buy a copy yourself and let me know what YOU think! Check it out at FullQuiverPublishing.com.
