Part 2: Praying the Rosary Community!
I wrote a piece about "Praying the Rosary" in 2021. At that time, I found some rosaries and "How to Say the Rosary" booklets. I had been a catechism teacher. I always envied people who could fluently say and more importantly know the rosary so effortlessly. It was as though they could say it in [...]

Learning a Second Language…
In my home growing up, two languages were spoken. Our grandparents came from Poland in the early 20th century. Our father spoke fluent Polish, our mother could speak Polish and (not as well as our dad) she understood it. We, my brothers, sisters and I never learned the language. It has always gnawed at me. [...]
