Mission Statement | Catholic Digest connects with readers through personal stories of triumphs and struggles, joys and challenges, and also the lighter side of Catholic living. We are a source of support and encouragement for those who love their faith, those who struggle with their faith, and those who long to learn more about the richness of Catholic tradition.
We seek the positive in the world and in our Church. We emphasize those things that Catholics are doing right and well as a means of inspiring and encouraging others to do the same. We are hope-filled, optimistic, and forward-looking.
We highlight the goodness and beauty of God’s creation and the truths of His Church. We find abundant joy in Catholic living and aim to express that joy through inspiring words, images, and ideas.
We move our readers beyond inspiration and toward action. We give Catholics the information, tools, and resources they need to answer God’s call to holiness and bring the light of Christ to others.
Catholic life is both uniquely joyful and uniquely challenging. At Catholic Digest, we invite all to join us as we encourage and support one another in the joyful, challenging, important work of faith and family living.

Rich, you have stated so clearly what we all need to know in our hearts. I think you will make a wonderful spiritual director. You show such compassion, knowledge, and personal strength in your writings.

Hi Rich, We corresponded recently and I think we talked about "more than coincidence" moments. I've spent today catching up on correspondence and postings, including your blog. As I read I felt a catch in my throat about your 'decision to change a decision '. The catch in my throat came because I realized that for me, today is one of those "more than a coincidence" days........... Let me tell you why: I send a Good Morning Greeting-- it usually has a short quote to uplift or give food for thought and then I ask a question of the day. I often am researching, looking for fresh quotes and found a perfect one the night before in a book just borrowed from the library. The quote was perfect timing for me as I too, was doubting, wondering, questioning a decsion. This morning's "Thought of the day" was : A calling may be postponed, avoided, intermittently missed......... but eventually it will out." James Hillman And then, later the same day, I read your experience! For me, this serves to underscore, our doubts are only strong if we let them overpower us; our calling eventually will shine through. Everything will work out. Thanks for being so open and honest! Kaye
