Does Your Parish Have A Columbarium Yet?

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

If it doesn’t, it probably will soon. Five parishes in the Diocese of Knoxville have them now. What is a columbarium? It’s a consecrated resting place for the ashes of cremated parishioners.

A Prayer About Fatherhood Answered Through the Veil of a Homework Assignment

Last updated on: January 24, 2017 at 5:55 pm By Frank Weathers

Once upon a time, I wrote a letter to St. Joseph. His feast day rolled around, and I was writing him because as a father, I was feeling a bit like Sisyphus.

What If God Was One of Us, and Drove a Race Car?

Last updated on: June 21, 2016 at 12:51 pm By Frank Weathers

Today is the 20th anniversary of the passing on to God of this legendary racing driver. As such, I’m republishing this post. I would wager that the answer to my title question would be that if this ever happened, it would look a lot like Ayrton Senna da Silva dominating Formula One circuits. Who is Ayrton Senna?

Work of Mercy: Why Not Give Alms to Syrian Refugees?
