#ProjectCST – Social Justice and the Family Community

Last updated on: July 22, 2014 at 8:01 pm By Billy Kangas

I’m excited to be tuning into the latest #ProjectCST webcast which is starting in just a few moments. (Apparently there were some technical difficulties, and the broadcast will be rescheduled). If you’re not familure with it, #ProjectCST is a project aimed at helping connect Millenials to the rich tradition of Catholic Social Teachings, and seeks to equip them to live these principles out in their daily lives. I encourage you to watch the video… the stream is going live as I post... Read more

Remember that Jesus was an Undocumented Child Refugee

Last updated on: July 19, 2014 at 11:04 am By Billy Kangas

Now after they had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him.” Then Joseph[h] got up, took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what had been... Read more

Fifty Ways Catholics are Working on Ending Hunger Today!

Last updated on: December 2, 2014 at 7:52 pm By Billy Kangas

Over the past year I have been working closely with Catholic organizations active all across the United States to try to encourage their work to end hunger. This process has filled me with a great amount of hope. It seems that every day I hear stories of Catholics doing amazing, creative, and innovative things to help address hunger in their own communities and around the world. We are living in an unprecedented time in the history of the world. More... Read more

New Music: The Collection – Ars Moriendi

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 at 9:14 pm By Billy Kangas

Yesterday my progressive channel friend @DavidRHenson pointed me to this music video posted on Conan O’Brian’s webpage. I didn’t expect much, but I’ll admit the fact that it was filled in a church got me interested. It’s a beautiful song that I think really articulates the disires of my the heart and my faith. It tells a beautiful parable about planting seeds that bloom into new life and a kingdom of freedom where swords are turned into plowshares. I’ve heard... Read more

A Prayer for the Human Tragedy Behind the Immigration.

Last updated on: July 15, 2014 at 2:21 pm By Billy Kangas

Like many, my heart has been broken as I hear about the thousands of Children streaming across the border of our nation. I am left in awe of the kind of horrors that would make a parent believe that sending their child away alone through dangerous routes and with dangerous people is somehow a better option than keeping them at home. I am saddened by much of the rhetoric that sees these kids as political pawns more than human beings.... Read more

Review: Patrick Madrid’s “Why Be Catholic?”

Last updated on: July 14, 2014 at 1:23 pm By Billy Kangas

I recently read through Patick Madid’s latest book Why Be Catholic. I was interested in the book, because it’s a question I feel I myself am always having to defend. Ever since I choose to join the Catholic Church there has been a non-stop sting of questions that all boil down to answering “Why be Catholic?” Madrid’s book tries to get the conversation going… that is where it really shines. In a mere 200 pages Madrid raises what I would... Read more

HELP! My Kids are Wild at Church!

Last updated on: July 8, 2014 at 9:19 pm By Billy Kangas

This week Fr. Longenecker posted a great response to a question about how someone can be active in worship. He stated that those of us who worship as laity need not feel that we need to have some official role in order to participate but that: The lay faithful should join in with the words of the liturgy and join in singing the hymns–engaging their hearts and minds… When Mass begins you offer your attention. As the process comes down... Read more

What the Synod on the Family is, and how you can prepare!

Last updated on: July 3, 2014 at 3:00 pm By Billy Kangas

My family is my greatest treasure, teacher and trainer. They have taught me to love deeper, serve more faithfully, persevere more faithfully, and give myself more fully every day. There is no one who has pushed me to be more like Christ like my wife. There are no greater examples of faith and devotion in my life than my boys. My family is an icon of God in so many ways in my life, I am continually humbled by how... Read more
