October 31st -Thank God for candy and neighbors who actually talk to one another. November 11 – Thank God for our Veterans who served our country. The final Thursday in November – Thank God for everything… As I was walking into our parish church ‘Holy Apostles’ in Cranston R.I. for the 8:30 a.m. mass with Kristin, I happened to notice the church secretary coming in for work to take care of parish business.

Some of the videos I have included in this week in review discuss such issues. Hollywood is Wile E Coyote and the audience... Read more

Catholics I’ve Written About

Last updated on: November 16, 2023 at 2:26 pm By Mark Wilson

This post displays some of the particular groups or individuals I have honed in on that have impressed me by their contribution to Catholic mass media.

Sometimes I feel like I’m just phoning it in with my Last Week in Life blog posts. I’m tired from lack of sleep. I got a CPAP machine but so far it has not made a difference. My mind feels frazzled. I’ve also been doing research on other writing projects. I’ve spent time with friends and my wife which occupy my time. I have to go to work. I feel that I don’t always put the quality I should into... Read more
