This is a fun video. Tomorrow I will post another by some of the same crowd. Enjoy

Moments in time

Quite a beautiful collection of moments. Enjoy!

Posting has been a bit slow...

...because I have been sick all week. Bronchitis, tonsilitis and probably a cold! Anyway enjoy this video it is really stunning. Peace

Powerful Ad

This really makes a strong point.

This is one reason...

I don't eat ground beef from fast food...

Cool Coin Commercial

I know you wanted some alliteration. Enjoy the video as well.

Fractal Art

Young artist Jen Stark has some amazing work. Check out the video or her site...this is truly amazing stuff. Enjoy

Advent Concert

We had a great Advent concert on Saturday night. Choirs from St. Matthew, Holy Trinity and St. Gabriel sang. It was wonderful and we had a nice crowd join us. I forgot my camera early on so not a ton of photos but here is what I got.

I also took a few videos, this is the only one that came out kinda okay-ish. Oh the out of sync clapping...ask Deacon Jim ;-)

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is the name of the film. Here is a link to the trailer. You need to go see this movie, it is stunning, painful and eyeopening. Go see it soon, before it leaves the theatre. Be warned it is a difficult movie to watch but well worth the time and emotional captial to get through it. YOU WILL BE MOVED!

Pope

I am sure you have seen the image of Obama that looks like this but I just stumbled upon this image of Pope Benedict XVI...looks cool!

New Images of St. Matthew

As many of your know each year we commission a new image of St. Matthew. Well in 2007 I had some trouble getting an artist, but I did find one in 2007 but we had to wait for his backlog to clear and now we have our 2007 image. Also earlier in 2008 I met another artist whom I commissioned to do our 2008 image, so without any further ado...here they are!

This one was done by Matthew Alderman an artist from New York City who is also an ND grad: he blogs over at the Shrine of the Holy Whapping. You really do need to see this image up close to see all the symbolism.

St. Matthew-2007

Here is a piece written by Matthew describing our 2007 image of St. Matthew

The Martyrdom of St Matthew

Our image for 2008 was done by Sheila Chambers an artist from Salt Lake City and a friend on my sister Angela. You can even see her in the photo gallery from the house blessing in SLC. She is in the photo titled "all in prayer". These two images are representations of the Call of the Disciple. The top one is the Call of Matthew the bottom one is the call of the modern person to follow the call of the Lord to be his disciple. They are truly stunning images, again you need to see them in person.

St. Matthew-2008

I could not be more pleased with the images. Thanks to the creators of these images, they will serve our parish family well. Peace to all!
