Musings of a Catholic Deacon
Life is sacramental in nature. It is holy from start to finish, because everything we do, and everything that surrounds us is meant to lead us to God. We often see this in the big and important moments, and once in a while, it seems the light from heaven peeks through. The typical cliche sunset... Continue Reading →
I promised you an update on what I am doing here, where I think all of this is going. I think it's only fair I tell you who have followed me through these last few years what is happening here, and the whats and whys of all of this change. It all started one year... Continue Reading →
On my homepage, I have a picture of an event I put on every year, a trip to our local cemetery for young people. It's a rather simple affair, we go to the chapel and pray the Office for the Dead together. Then I have students bring forward pictures of those whom have passed away... Continue Reading →
I was driving to Mass this week, and I drove by a house that had decorated for Halloween. These folks went all out, there were cobwebs everywhere, tombstones, the whole nine yards, but what really got me was their main decoration in the middle of their yard.

My computer has blown up in a cloud of smoke. Okay, there was no smoke, but you get the idea. It's amazingly hard to update a blog without a computer. Working on replacement, I'll be back soon.
Deacon Craig and I talk about our formation class, the use of latin, the role of a deacon, and the growing rift in the Church surrounding traditional liturgy. Deacon Brown has been a religion teacher for 26 years at Saint Bernard's Academy, and is a deacon for St. Joseph's Parish in Fortuna, California, as well... Continue Reading →
I was always told as a kid it was a social rule to not talk about religion or politics. That is a rule begging to be broken! So on CCDD, it's all about religion, all the time. We'll talk to anyone about the Catholic Faith, and always meet them right where they are at. Join... Continue Reading →
I know I'm not alone in this, only because I've seen it in nearly every sitcom I've ever viewed, and seen it ever present in nearly every home I've ever walked into. I have a chair. It's MY chair. Sure, on occasion others might sit in it, but people usually don't like to. I can't... Continue Reading →
