My Spanish fluency only takes me about as far as reading billboards and headlines, so I was prepared for a mass where I&#8217;d have to be &#8220;present&#8221; without understanding the language. In the past, the missals used had Spanish [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youngadultcatholics-blog.com&blog=3208501&post=1696&subd=youngadultcatholics&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

We recall on Monday the many men and women who have died in war protecting the United States of America.  They&#8217;ve &#8211; to be sure &#8211; given courageously.  Most serve admirably.  We honor these [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=youngadultcatholics-blog.com&blog=3208501&post=1673&subd=youngadultcatholics&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
