What does it take for one to go over the edge? “The Gospel According to Mark” is a short story written by Latin American author Jorge Luis Borges, first published in 1970.

St. Paul the Apostle Choosing a confirmation saint is important to the Catholic faith. I didn’t want the prettiest saint or the one closest to my age.

This class has been such a blessing to my life, and it is an honor to create this discipleship strategy for my future ministry. It is the job of the leader of the church to evaluate the spiritual growth of the church, and one of the ways to do this is by measuring expansion growth.
