A Christmas Tune for Sandy Hook Elementary
A Christmas Tune for Sandy Hook
by Joe McAvoy (Germany Hill)
I wrote this song on 12-12-12 (originally inspired by the notion of keeping Christ in Christmas). However, the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary in CT on Friday inspired me to use this song in homage to the children who lost their lives. Read more
Bring a Man – Intentions from the Prayer Wall
Our 2012 retreat is just about to start! Just wanted to put out a few last minute thoughts.
BRING A MAN! There is still an opportunity for you to bring a man with you on retreat. If there is a man that will benefit from retreat who is not yet registered for our 2012 retreat, bring him along. Our newly automated registration desks are more prepared than ever to handle “walk-in” retrreatants. So just bring a man with you, we’ll get him room and the Holy spirit will do the rest!
Prayer Wall – SixThree men, family members and even strangers are invited to submit prayer intentions through our website. ALL intentions submitted through the SixThreeGroup.com Pray Wall will be printed and placed on the alters for the duration of our retreat.
We have a great retreat planned and we look forward to seeing everyone for this wonderfully uplifting and spiritually refreshing experience that is Malvern.
Prosit.

Catholic Values @VillanovaU
Today’s inspiration…
This statement of Catholic values from Villinova University is what has been so lacking in our society in recent years. We commend Villinova for taking a moral stand and proclaiming Catholic Values for all the world to see.
” In The Augustinian Tradition @VillanovaU As a Catholic, Augustinian university we aspire not to uniformity in thinking but for the creation of new knowledge based on the wisdom of the past and ever greater moral conversion into a community of mutuality, equality, justice, and respect for the sacredness of all creation.”
Catholic colleges and universities have gone through three distinct stages that have paralleled the history of the Catholic community in the United States. [read on at Villanova.edu]
