Brad Schmidt gave a talk to parents of teens on December 2, 2012 about current youth culture and its impact on families and parenting today.  Teens today are different than they've been at any point in history, partially due to the impact of technology, partially due to the influence of a culture that's radically different than even 10 years ago, and partially due to the parenting styles of Generation X and later Baby Boomers.

The talk is based on the book "Generation iY," by Tim Elmore.  To order a copy, click here.

Homily given at the 10:00 a.m. Mass on Thursday, November 22, 2012, Thanksgiving Day, by Fr. Ed Fride, Pastor, Christ the King Catholic Church. Solomon starts his reign well, worshipping God and thanking Him for His many gifts. However, he did not keep his eyes on God, marrying pagan wives and building temples for their false gods. As a result, the kingdom is torn apart after his death. It isn't enough to just start well. We must persevere, choosing to keep Jesus as King at the center of our lives and thanking Him for reigning in us.

Key words: Thanksgiving, surrender, perseverance
