A Visit to “Visualizing the Virgin Mary” – Day 1

October 25, 2022 by Lisa M. Hendey 2 Comments

I'm blessed to live only a few miles from the Getty Center, a world-class museum and research and conservation institute. The Getty's holdings are so immense that I typically limit my visits to one particular area during my regular visits. Now through February, the Getty is featuring a special … [Read more...] about A Visit to “Visualizing the Virgin Mary” – Day 1

St. Nicholas Christmas Show

November 15, 2021 by Lisa M. Hendey

Opportunities to gather in-person to celebrate the Christmas season feel more plentiful this year, but very few of them offer families the opportunity to truly understand the "reason for the season" with as much attention and care as the St. Nicholas Christmas Show. Jointly sponsored by Adventure … [Read more...] about St. Nicholas Christmas Show

What Now?

May 19, 2021 by Lisa M. Hendey 8 Comments

For many friends with whom I'm connected on social media, the news of my mother Anne's passing on April 29 is not new "news". Although on a limited basis because I don't have words to properly describe the cavalcade of emotions I'm feeling, I have been sharing a bit. I'd thought that by now, I … [Read more...] about What Now?

Does Suffering Make Me Better or Bitter?

November 22, 2020 by Lisa M. Hendey 4 Comments

OSV Innovation Challenge – A Conversation with Jason Shanks

August 16, 2020 by Lisa M. Hendey

Innovativation? Creation? Imagination? Perhaps these aren't the first words that you think of when you ponder the Catholic Church. After all, our roots span millennia. Tradition is a hallmark of our teaching. But just as Jesus brought new ways to share the Good News of his father's love for … [Read more...] about OSV Innovation Challenge – A Conversation with Jason Shanks

Global Prayer Challenge for Mothers

July 15, 2020 by Lisa M. Hendey Leave a Comment

When faced with challenges and situations whose solutions are beyond our control, sometimes, the only thing we can do is pray.

Great Events: Great for Family and Friends

July 7, 2020 by Lisa M. Hendey

The past few months of home confinement due to the COVID-19 pandemic have reacquainted many of us with the world of family entertainment.

January 1, 2020 by Lisa M. Hendey 2 Comments

This morning, as I sat for my quiet time, I took a few moments to look back at my goals for 2019. There they were, annotated at the start of last year’s planner, neatly printed and even segmented into categories. I was so ambitious back then, noting for myself that 2019 would be the first year in … [Read more...] about What Will 2020 Bring?

Today in the Church, we pause to reflect upon the life of St. Thomas.

Letting Love Fuel Action

June 28, 2019 by Lisa M. Hendey Leave a Comment

This week's headlines have been awash in emotion. The sight of a father and daughter washed ashore and lifeless makes us feel.
