Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina

052424 CAW rhythmJust as dedicating time to God deepens your relationship with Him and creates a more joyful you, the same is true when it comes to with our loved ones. Learn how setting aside several hours to enjoy some “carefree timelessness” with your spouse, children, extended family and friends can improve your relationships dramatically. The concept comes from Catholic author and speaker Matthew Kelly. Visit his channel on youtube.com to watch him discuss this idea in “#1 Way To Help Your Relationships THRIVE: Carefree Timelessness,” which is also explored in his book “Rhythm of Life.”

052424 CAW MassBreads are traditional fare on Corpus Christi, but the baker in “The Weight of a Mass: A Tale of Faith” doesn’t appreciate the significance of his life’s work, especially in the context of the Mass. Learn how a poor woman, the baker’s son and a miracle restore the faith of the hardened baker and the rest of the town as they prepare for a royal wedding. This beautifully told story with eye-catching illustrations is an original cultural folk tale based on a true story. It is a delightful read for readers young and old, offering discussion material about why the Mass is important. Published by Gingerbread House and available at major booksellers, the book is also available in animated form on YouTube.
