I just got home from work and heard some horrible news!!! A family I know has 3 sons who are priests and one of them killed himself. Apparently he was being treated for depression. This is a great family, this is just awful.

Hey, my 9th grade religion teacher is on CNN.com! This story is still making the rounds of the MSM and the blogosphere and it is facilitating some interesting discussion. The CNN article says the Kellenberg Principal sent the letter out announcing the cancelling of the prom, but actually the letter was a response to a parent's inquiry. It was co-signed by Brother Hoagland and Fr. Eichner, who is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors of this quiet little organization.

I went to see the Long Island Philharmonic at St. Agnes Cathedral. They were performing Faure's Requiem in honor of Pope John Paul the Great on the anniversary of his election. The concert was to honor JPII's commitment to interfaith and ecumenical dialogue.
