A young man of my former parish, Alfonso Pedroza, has started a blog to record his spiritual journey, A Th0tful Journey.
I know Alfonso. I have had the good fortune to co-lector at bilingual Masses at St. Joseph Church in Santa Ana with his parents, whom I know to be devout and strong in the Catholic faith. Alfonso is discerning a call to the priesthood, but even if he did not choose that vocation, the world will still be a better place for his presence.
Head on over to his blog and encourage our Catholic youth!

Off topic - but I found this interesting.
Over the weekend .. Catholic churches across America read a letter to congregants that perfectly encapsulated the church’s stance against the impending federal Health and Human Services Department requirement that employers must include contraception and abortion-inducing drugs in health-care coverage. While this requirement doesn’t apply to houses of worship, it will force Catholic colleges, hospitals and other Christian groups to provide these drugs despite their faith-based opposition to them.
“In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences,” Cardinal-designate Timothy M. Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, recently said.
