Twice a year Joanne has a LOT to say about the Appleverse. Check it out…

Think WWDC was just another routine update? Think again. Apple’s thoughtful AI rollout, iPad’s new productivity powers, and rethinking how we interact with our devices just might change your daily workflow. And yes, we talk Vision Pro too.

Began this summer series of short videos unpacking the Sunday Scriptures while our bible study is on hiatus and thought you all might enjoy it as well. Let me know what you think -- and yes, I'm getting a gadget to help me look at the correct camera on my iPhone!

IMHO, this Catholic school in Chicago came up with the most awesome lesson to teach their students about the recent Conclave.

As cardinals in Rome get ready for the papal conclave, some kids in Chicago got an idea of their job ahead with a special activity Tuesday. Noel Brennan repo...

Pope Leo XIV's coat of arms offers a clear reflection of his Augustinian roots and the values he seeks to promote during his pontificate, particularly unity and communion within the Church.

The shield is divided diagonally into two sections. The upper half features a blue background with a white lily.

The lower half of the shield has a light background and displays an image that recalls the Order of Saint Augustine: a closed book with a heart pierced by an arrow. This is a direct reference to the conversion experience of Saint Augustine himself, who described his personal encounter with God’s Word using the phrase: “Vulnerasti cor meum verbo tuo” - “You have pierced my heart with your Word.”

Pope Leo XIV has also chosen a motto that reflects this Augustinian tradition: In Illo uno unum, which means “In the One, we are one.” The phrase is taken from Saint Augustine’s Exposition on Psalm 127, where he explains that “although we Christians are many, in the one Christ we are one.”
