  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Prayer requests post here!

My wife, Genevieve, has another interview today.
After she didn't get the jobs at the last two interviews we found out that they were really difficult situations. One school has had constant turnover. The one today is a perfect fit for her it seems. We would really like the peace of mind of having this job.

Prayers! :)

Asking prayers for my SF, Fr. C. He had surgery a few days ago and waiting on pathology reports. It's potentially serious. He's also older and it's hard on him recovering from repeated surgeries - though he seems to bounce back faster than I do! Or pushes himself much harder. Anyway - he's very much in my heart and I would appreciate any prayers. Thank you.

ugh, that is terrible. Lord have mercy!

That little School has had a disproportionate string of deaths the last few years.

I don't know why I have a hard time asking for prayers - pride I suppose. But I would appreciate prayers from you all. I had a melanoma removed from my arm a couple of weeks ago. Then they went back and cut a much bigger chunk to make sure they got it all. The good news is, it was shallow (meaning we caught it early) and the second biopsy was clear, so they did get it all. So I am very, very thankful for that. If you know much about melanoma, though, you may know that it tends to come back at some point, so we have to be very vigilant in checking for signs of it again. And it can only be determined by biopsy, not by blood tests or anything.

So I am asking for prayers for healing, and that God will grant me the time (and will) to repent.

Thanks.

My wife went through the exact same thing. The good news is that with regular visits it can be caught quickly.

Thank you all for your prayers for my wife's job. She just got a call with a job offer from a Middle School. We are so thankful for all who prayed for us. This is a great relief for our family.

I should have updated. Fr C got back the reports and it was cancer but they removed it all and he's been on watch for a long time. He's fine once again. I'm amazed how he has had several major surgeries and serious health issues and yet he recovers surprisingly quickly - thanks be to God. There are many who depend on him.

Thank you for your prayers.
