Family
We Are Neighbors
Charlene Balkunas
"I asked God to please restore my family and put my trust in him saying, 'It’s in your hands.' Shortly after that, I received an invitation from a friend to go to a Christmas party. I accepted, and it changed my life forever," Charlene Balkunas shares her story.
Saying “Yes”
"We talked about the fun we had as kids in the Bronx. That brightened up all of us." The Gospels help us to find meaning in suffering.
Little Ginetta
"A few months later my wife told me she was expecting a baby. It was a shock." The Gospels speak to us in clear words during hard times.
The Work Boots
"Even though it was not what I wanted to do on our night out, I knew he really needed them, so I agreed." Every present moment in a family can be filled with the Gospels.
