We’re heading into the Christmas weekend, and the Crevier family will be busy again. One day with my sister-in-law in Iron Mountain, MI, Christmas Eve at my Mom’s house in Green Bay, Christmas morning here at home with the girls then over to my Mom’s house again, and the day after Christmas at my aunt [...]

There’s a very interesting story happening in Kaukauna, WI, a small town 16 miles south of here. Manishkumar Patel is accused of causing an abortion by spiking his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with RU-486. He’s being prosecuted in Outagamie County, under Wisconsin’s fetal homicide law. Those are the facts.
So, what do you think so far? If [...]

Today is Priesthood Sunday in the United States. Catholics around the country are offering thanks and recognition to those men who have answered God’s call to serve. I had never heard of Priesthood Sunday until this year (it was only started a few years ago). But I’ll tell you, it’s opened my eyes, and made [...]

Sometimes I find it hard to be proud to be an American. Alright, well, perhaps that’s too strong a statement. But it sure is my initial reaction when I hear about these unbelievable stories of policies here in the United States.
On Wednesday, October 17, the Portland (Maine) School Committee approved a plan to distribute contraceptives [...]

God has no body on earth but yours.
Yours are the only hands with which he can do his work.
Yours are the only feet with which he can go about the world.
Yours are the only eyes through which his compassion can shine forth upon a troubled world.
— St. Teresa of Ávila

I’ve been paying a bit of attention to the Archdiocese of New Orleans since my trip there last month. And I just read an article written by Archbishop Alfred C. Hughes titled “Children need married parents“; his conclusions are just plain wrong.
First, here’s a quote from the article:
“It is now clear from social studies that [...]

If you haven’t heard, Central Florida (in the southeast corner of the United States) was hit by massive tornadoes on Friday. Reports say that winds were up to 200 MPH and that 20 people were killed.
What if this happened to you? Would you still have faith in God? The folks at Lady Lake Church of [...]

What a day it was. Last Saturday, I participated in Youth Jam 2006 along with 10 kids from the Youth Ministry program at Our Lady of Lourdes, and two other chaperones. It was a fantastic day.
Youth Jam is a 6 hour conference for all 6th to 8th graders in the Green Bay Diocese, designed to [...]

What a season. We seem to be busier than ever this year.
Deer hunting was quite fun this year with my daughter. It was the first time she carried a firearm. She didn’t shoot. I got a few shots off, but they were about 140 yards away and moving too fast. So, no deer this year.

I started teaching Religious Education at my church tonight. At Our Lady of Lourdes, we have a fantastic RE program for kids who don’t attend Catholic school.
Most Catholic kids, in elementary and high school, either attend a Catholic school, or they attend a public school and then go to RE classes on Wednesday evenings. When [...]

In two weeks, Wisconsinites will vote on the following advisory referendum:
“Should the death penalty be enacted in the State of Wisconsin for cases involving a person who is convicted of first-degree intentional homicide, if the conviction is supported by DNA evidence?”
Since this is only advisory, the results do not directly affect any law. But it’s [...]

The Da Vinci Code movie will be released on May 19. This movie, directed by Ron Howard, has brewed up a storm of controversy long before it even hit the theatres, due mostly to the book upon which it is based. So what’s all the fuss?
Some believe that the Catholic church has been covering up [...]
