"Christmas Time, Anytime"

 
 
Bothered that Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier every year? Maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all! Check out this positive outlook by Matt Weber on BustedHalo.com.

When the chaos is over, be sure to check out this article from BustedHalo.com about ways to give thanks this holiday season.

Saint of the Day: Frances Xavier Cabrini

St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
Today we celebrate Saint Frances Cabrini, patron of Immigrants. To read more information, visit: http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=278.

Also, check out some of the pictures I took when I visited her shrine located in Golden, Colorado this summer.
The Shrine from a distance. Note the statue of Jesus built at the highest point of the mountain. You want to wear good walking shoes--there are 373 steps to the top!
The view from the top was incredible! Built into the statue is a relic of Saint Frances Cabrini


Enshrined in glass is a heart made of stones formed by Saint Frances when she climbed to the top of the moutain.

We hope you enjoyed the photos! Have a happy Tuesday and be sure to stop by Newman for dinner this Thursday at 6:30pm.
