I’m ashamed to say, sometimes I don’t blog something because my photo was not good. Is that a good reason? NO. I have gotten a little better with the camera as time went on. But sometimes I just never got around to blogging it. On the last day of the year, I have for you… (read more)
Happy Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph! It has become harder to find sincere expressions of Christian faith in the public sphere, but they have become more precious to me when I do find them. On a building that was once a private girls’ dorm, Villa Maria, located in the warren… (read more)
Seen in Madison in 2012. Fair warning, these photos progress from funny to dark. (maybe this makes you want to play Frogger. Or maybe you’ve never played Frogger. You can here. Avoid wasting too much time: decide before you click the link how many quarters you have.) This June, on E Johnson Street. The text… (read more)
Happy Feast of the Holy Innocents! I was standing in front of Holy Redeemer Church during the Dec 20 “snowpocalypse” when I heard a big rumble just like a snowplow and turned to see a dramatic fall of snow from the roof of Holy Redeemer School. I didn’t quite catch the action with my camera…. (read more)
At the young adult group “Spirit and Truth” at the Cathedral Parish, one time the icebreaker question was “what’s your pet peeve?” Monsignor Holmes’ was “when the neighbors’ chickens get in my backyard.” That’s Holy Redeemer Church over on the right.

Happy Feast of St Stephen! The bottom two were taken at Period Garden Park, a downtown gem. I think that’s on E Gorham Street and it’s maintained beautifully by the people who live in the neighborhood.
Happy Feast of the Nativity! From now to the end of the year I want to share each day a few of my photos taken in Madison in 2012.
This page is from 2012. Many of the times may be similar for subsequent years (for instance in 2014 as I write this, I know the Cathedral Parish, St Paul’s and Our Lady Queen of Peace have exactly the same Mass times this year as they did for Christmas 2012), you will need to check… (read more)
Yesterday morning, in the backyard of the rectory for the St Paul’s priests, where several UW men students also reside: is that snowman not wearing a clerical collar? A biretta would finish the picture. Inside Holy Redeemer Church today, some Hispanic parishioners and Padre Jose Luis (far right, facing camera) were working on the Creche…. (read more)
Bishop Morlino was on a secular conservative talk radio program, the Vicki McKenna Show, yesterday. I looked up a podcast of this program. His interview starts at about 20:00. First, McKenna asks him about the “pathologically silly” belief that the world might end when the Mayan calendar ended, jettisoning their own core value system, to… (read more)
