I’ve had a few things cross my in-box recently, and I’ve been remiss in passing them along.

• For those who have the iPhone or iPad, there is a cool app called “iPieta ^[1]” that “contains a vast library of Catholic Treasures including: writings, prayers, calendars, and documents”. As the creator of the app stated, “it could be a great tool for on the spot apologetics, teaching, and any situation in which the Word of God and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church can be spread.”

• Next, a project to encourage confession: The Penance Project ^[2]. I am a strong proponent of frequent confession, so anything that helps bring people to that sacrament sounds great to me.

• Finally, please consider supporting the St. Francis Mission ^[3] in South Dakota. This mission is a “ministry of the of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) among the 20,000 Lakota (Souix) people on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in south-central South Dakota. The Mission is a not for profit organization founding in 1886, whose mission is to serve the spiritual, educational, and physical needs of Lakota Catholics and those who are un- churched on the reservation.”
