These posts are some of our thoughts and thoughts of our members on the single life in today’s world as a Catholic.
Let’s face it: many of us are waiting for that long term relationship that will lead to marriage. But what are we doing today to prepare for our future partner? The single life shouldn’t be a period of just waiting until you are in a relationship. It should be a time where you spend time preparing yourself for your future partner.

The Midwestern part of the United States has some stunning shrines hidden throughout the countryside. Given its rich history, these shrines reflect the people, ethnic groups, and religious orders that originally settled that area.
