This has been hitting the "Net" from a bunch of sources most recently from " Fathers For Good". Opening on March 23rd, "October Baby" is a pro-life dramatic movie with a beautiful message about the worth of every human life. This film by Christian filmmakers, brothers Andrew and Jon Erwin is inspired by the true-life story of abortion survivor Gianna Jessen. The reviews say that it doesn't vilify women that have had abortions and is compassionate and sensitive. ... | By Knight Blogger on 3/21/2012 11:07 AM

Saturday, February 18th was Simon's Saturday at St. Ann's Church. You may have seen in our News section above, the story of Simon Ernst. Eight year old Simon has had leukemia for the past 5 years and needed a bone marrow transplant. Luckily, Simon was able to find a donor match - his sister. However, not many leukemia patients needed the life... | By Knight Blogger on 2/18/2012 1:30 AM
About a week ago, after much outcry, the Federal Government issued what it called a compromise to the contraception mandate of the healthcare bill commonly called 'Obamacare'. It's funny how the news cycle works, however, and now there's not the same level of coverage in the media about this topic. The Catholic church rightfully took a little time to study the changes, but since many other things have happened in the past week, all that the news captured was that there was a compromise offered and that the Church... | By Knight Blogger on 1/23/2012 4:58 PM
"Literally unconscionable" is how the US Catholic Bishops described a recent ruling from the department of Health and Human Services regarding an aspect of the healthcare reform legislation. It requires that all Americans, as of August 1st 2012, purchase government approved health insurance that provides for sterilizations and FDA approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions.
As such, employers must provide insurance plans that cover those services. Therefore, as a Catholic, you will be required by law to either purchase or supply a product that includes provisions for things we believe as violating moral law. ... | By Knight Blogger on 12/23/2011 4:31 AM
It's hard to believe we are just days away from Christmas and also the start of a new year. There have been many holiday themed tv shows and Christmas movies on tv. A Christmas Carol with George C. Scott and White Christmas with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye have been played several times over each. There's one movie quote though, I wanted to share with you. It's not from a movie usually associated with Christmas, but it takes place during the Christmas season. It's titled "The Bishop's Wife". If you've never seen... |
