All, however, will be expected to step outside their comfort zones.

At the beginning of the summer I had resigned myself to not doing any art this year. I have a huge assignment from the Archbishop; to lead the self-study that will, hopefully, lead to our seminary receiving its full accreditation and therefore, national recognition. It is no mean feat. The thesis I produced to get my MDiv was simpler and will end up being shorter. Read More
Home Country: Going Home
Home Country
By SLIM RANDLES
The other night it was hot. Hot during the day, hot at night. Heat seems to define this time of year for us, in many ways.
But in spite of that, after a day in the outdoors, we built a fire. A small fire. A “hat” fire, which mountain people define as one you can put in your hat. Why so small? Because it was hot and we didn’t need the heat. Why the fire? Because we need the fire.

Editor’s note: This is the first of a three-part series about the NPH’s work in Latin America.
It’s a rare event when I cross paths with someone who I hadn’t seen or spoken with in 35 or so years. Such was the case when Marlon Velasquez recently visited IHM Catholic Church. I hadn’t seen Marlon since the time Susie and I, along with our two children at the time (Jenny and Mike), were volunteering in the late 80’s at an orphanage known as Ranch Santa Fe or “the Ranch”. The home was set on a large piece of land in the mountains outside Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
Marlon was then a pequeño Read More
