One month into my junior year of high school and four months after my dad’s sudden death, I declared to my closest friends over school lunch mystery meat that I was quitting church, and, by extension, God.

November 30, 2020 By Marcus Halley Leave a Comment

Saint Andrew was a pioneer in many ways. His festival is often the first major Christian feast celebrated after the beginning of the Christian year to commemorate his status of being the “first called.”

Andrew the Apostle: Patron Saint of Younger Siblings

November 30, 2019 By Meaghan Brower 2 Comments

I am the oldest of three children in my family. My two sisters are my best friends, though for many years before I came to see them that way they were also my worst enemies.

Offering God Our Gifts and Our Doubts with Saint Andrew

November 30, 2018 By Erin Hougland 1 Comment

Saint Andrew shows us we do have gifts to offer within ourselves and others, however big or small, and we can bring them forward to help feed, heal and bless those around us. And like Andrew, we can hold tight to our faith that no matter what we offer, our offerings are enough for God to work with and make miracles happen in this broken world.

St. Andrew may have traveled far. But for many of us, the call is much closer.

The frontier to which God is calling you might be as close as a relative or friend.

Jesus called; St. Andrew answered.

I imagine hesitation and maybe even resistance into this story. But my children do not.
