Why the name?

"Holy Conversation" does sound like an exceptionally pious name, even for a parish blog. And we can't guarantee that everything here will meet the high standard the name implies. But the phrase comes from the story of our patron saint, and we think it fits. Here's why.

St. Scholastica was a sixth-century abbess who, according to the Dialogues of Pope Gregory I, used to meet once a year with her brother, St. Benedict. On the last occasion they were together, they spent their time "satisfying each other's hunger for holy conversation about the spiritual life."

We hope that this blog can become a place where the members of our parish can find a taste of the companionship and conversation that Scholastica and Benedict enjoyed so much. Welcome!

Confirmation

Congratulations to the young people who were confirmed last Sunday!  We look forward to seeing how you grow in your faith and as members of our parish community in the years to come!  Congratulations as well to the parents and sponsors of the newly confirmed.  Thanks to Jamie Dillon, Meredith Troyan, and Gina Musser and their dedicated catechists for their work in coordinating the preparation of our young people.

Bishop William Waltersheid meets with the candidates before the rite.
