This crucifix qualifies as {pretty} special. I hand held this all the way back from Assisi, Italy during our Altar Boy Pilgrimage to Rome. It was hand-made from olive wood from local artisans.

Our friends asked if we would take care of their birds while they were on vacation...sure (I say). In my mind, I envisioned this cute little bird cage...HA!
Boy was I surprised when they pulled up with this...
It took up half my dining room. :oD

My girls were ecstatic that they had these sweet birds to care for, and I have to admit...they were really sweet.
Messy, but sweet. {funny}, too!

In August, I took a group of teens, from our church Youth Group, to the First Ever Pro-Life Youth Conference Nor-Cal 2013...held at the Cathedral in San Francisco.
It was organized by P.L.M.R. Pro-Lifers of the Mystical Rose which is a Pro-Life Youth-Led Organization.
The two day event was packed full of nine amazing and compelling speakers, including the wonderful Sisters of Life,

| The Sisters of Life is a contemplative / active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O’Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Like all religious communities, we take the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. We also are consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. ~ Sisters of Life |
We experienced our first "Die-In Rally" and participated in a Peaceful Walk to the Civic Center Plaza led by the loyal and worthy Knights of Columbus. Surprisingly, we had a great amount of positive reactions & support...and only one (maybe two) jeers.
Several priests were available throughout the event to offer the sacrament of Confession & Spiritual Direction.
The event was very well organized and the food (important when you have teens), which was included in the registration package, was superb!
Advocating the Pro-Life Cause and working towards the end of abortion is what the Pro-Life Youth Conference event is hoping to accomplish.
We are looking forward to the 2nd Annual Pro-Life Youth Conference 2014!
Go to Like Mother, Like Daughter to find more contentment...
