The “hard work” of making others laugh is a labour of love and faith for standup comic Jen Fulwiler, a former atheist and Catholic convert delivering a “fresh take on modern life as a woman” to audiences throughout the nation with her 2023 “Maternal Instinct” comedy tour.

Never too late for authentic conversion /opinion/columnists/item/35753-never-too-late-for-authentic-conversion /opinion/columnists/item/35753-never-too-late-for-authentic-conversion

Something that my faith has instilled in me is a simple phrase, “it is never too late.” No matter how bad things are, no matter what has happened — there is nothing and no one beyond redemption through the infinite love and mercy of God. It is, I think, a radical aspect of our faith. All that is required, we are told again and again, is to say “Yes” to the invitation to experience that love and mercy.

Thank God Father Stu saw the light /opinion/columnists/item/34361-thank-god-father-stu-saw-the-light /opinion/columnists/item/34361-thank-god-father-stu-saw-the-light

The new film about a Montana priest, Father Stu, starring Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson, is ruffling some feathers. I’ve seen it, and didn’t think it was that controversial. Father Stu is based on the true story of a roughneck, smart-aleck, aimless young boxer who retires the gloves early and heads to Hollywood for a film career — only to discover God, the Church and his vocation to the priesthood through his new SoCal Catholic girlfriend.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Marco Pantoja III has a room much like any other 18-year-old: a navy blue New England Patriots flag for his favourite NFL team, handfuls of awards from his years playing soccer and a tiny green sign for Siena College in Loudonville, N.Y., where he will attend in the fall.

During this time of isolation, it is very difficult to think, meditate and write about Easter. The churches are closed and we do not know at what point the COVID-19 infection will peak.
