- Vision from St. Dominic
- Converting 2 Jews on Christmas

- His family
- His physical appearance
- A vision from his sister
- And his excess tooth

Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place
Our new book is available for pre-order from Ascension Press!
“I love this book. It provides wise counsel with beautiful simplicity. So, if you are looking to safeguard your family life from the wiles of the enemy and encourage your spouse and children to become the saints God is calling them to be, this is a book for you.” – Fr Gregory Pine
Home life can be difficult and busy, and it’s easy to get distracted from the point of it all: raising a family of saints.
In Living Beyond Sunday: Making Your Home a Holy Place, two married couples share what has helped them make their homes a place of encounter with God–a place where saints are being made.
