CD's of the Month

​If you haven't noticed already, look torward the front doors of the Church and you'll see a kiosk filled with CDs.  Take a moment to browse through the many offerings.

There are a few ways that you can utilize this library of Great Topics from Great Catholic Teachers: 1.  Take one or two, listen to them, and bring them back (preferable with a little piece of tape to hold the CD in place).  2.  Take one or two, listen to them, and share with family and/or friends. 3.  Take one or two, listen to them and keep them in your own library for future use.

Perhaps you are a parent and have heard how, as a parent, you are the "first line of defense" as far as Catholic Education for your child is concerned.  However, you feel less than ready for this huge undertaking.  Take heart, brave parent!  At your fingertips here is a wealth of information that will have YOU craving more.

Although a monetary donation is not required, it certainly helps to keep these CDs coming regularly.  But don't let money stop you from becoming a more informed, more educated and stronger Catholic.

PUT NOT YOUR TRUST IN PRICES  by Christopher Check

I just listened to this CD and was so very impressed with Christopher Check!  Speaking from his perspective as a historian, he reminds us that the crisis of our age is cultural and, in the end, spiritual.  He is inspirational as he explains that a flourishing society is not achieved through legislation or at the ballot box, but instead radiates from the family out.

Using examples from the ages, he connects us with our rich patrimony as Catholics and provides practical advice on what we must do to transform our culture for Christ.

RE-MADE  By Mark Hart

When people decide to follow Christ, they often experience conversion (the act of turning away from sin and towards God.)  In fact, many of the saints speak of continuous conversion throughout their lives.  In this talk, Mar talks about his conversion and encourages us to be made new in Christ.  "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, the old has passed away, before the new has come."  2 Cor 5:17
