A longtime Catholic youth ministry is welcoming a new leader whose work draws on Church history while developing new evangelization outreaches.

Among the subjects being held up for mockery in the grating black comedy "Digger" (Warner Bros.) is religion. While the film's scorn might be interpreted as applying only to a hypocritical version of evangelicalism, its treatment of Christianity is so flippant that all viewers of faith will likely be affronted.

It’s no secret that meals are an important part of our lives. Besides providing us with the sustenance our bodies need, often they are the setting where we build and nourish our relationships. There’s a reason many dates include going out to a restaurant for a meal. Growing up, I can remember many Sunday dinners after Mass when we took time to make the food and place settings extra special, in the process of making time to spend with each other. For many of us, our holiday celebrations on Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter revolve around a feast.
