April is Financial Literacy Month, a time dedicated to teaching Americans how to establish and maintain good financial habits at any age. The month provides a good opportunity for people to assess whether they have a solid plan in place to support financial goals.

Play Ball in Marine Park
Baseball season does not officially begin until Good Shepherd parish, Marine Park, hosts its annual “Baseball Bash” discussion. On April 2, the day before 2016 Opening Day, 20 avid fans got together in the rectory basement to offer their opinions on all things baseball.
The Power of Art
One reason that this is a preoccupation is that when I was in college I co-wrote my senior philosophy thesis with two other seminarians on the nature of art. Another reason is that in several philosophy courses at St. John’s University the students and I deal with the nature of art. One of my courses is on the “Catholic novel,” another is on film. Add to that the fact that for approximately 30 years, I have been conducting film festivals and also adult education courses on the “Catholic novel.” I also regularly encourage people to read “Catholic novels” and to see great films.
An Eastertide of Renewal
Only when we are nourished by the bread of life in the Eucharist can we inspire hunger for God in the many – baptized or not – who do not yet know Christ. Further, we do not have to search far for these people as they live in our own homes and neighborhoods. They go to school or work with us. Sometimes, they even look back at us in the mirror.
