Time Is Of The Essence

We are seeing and hearing more and more of the desperate plight of the people in Haiti after the devastating earthquake.

The people of Haiti desperately need our aid and support. You may begin by going to the site for Catholic Relief Services, and making a donation now. If you are not comfortable making a donation online, you may donate to Catholic Relief Services by phone, by calling 1-800-736-3467 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (U.S. and Canada), or you may send a check by mail to: Catholic Relief Services, P.O. Box 17090, Baltimore, MD 21203-7090


You may also go to The Hunger Site, and click on the banner entitled “Earthquake in Haiti - PLEASE HELP NOW”.

This is so important, that this same post is going to be placed on all of the Faith of the Fathers blogs.

Let’s all do what we can. No matter how little it seems, all donations help.

On A&E: God or the Girl

Finally, a reality show based on reality. This Easter Sunday on the A&E network carried on cable and satellite, a five-part reality series premieres entitled "God or the Girl". This program has 4 young Catholic men as they contemplate one of the most serious choices in their lives...the choice between the priesthood and marriage. This is not, according to reviews in The Boston Herald, Milwaukee Journal, and New York Daily News, the typical reality show, nor is it disrespectful as one might assume from a title like "God or the Girl". It actually affirms the Catholic Church and honors vocations to the priesthood and the witness of faithful young Catholics. The series has received a positive review from the USCCB.

The full series schedule is as follows:
PART I - EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 16, @ 9PM EASTERN/8C MOST IMPORTANT
PART 2 - EASTER SUNDAY APRIL 16, @ 10PM/9C
PART 3 - EASTER MONDAY, APRIL 17, @ 9PM/8C
PART 4 - MONDAY, APRIL 17, @ 10PM/9C
FINALE (PART 5) - SUNDAY, APRIL 23, @ 10PM/9C
