Women and Organizations
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Tuesday, October 11, 2011
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of speaking at the annual convention for the Winona Diocesan Council of Catholic Women in Worthington, Minnesota. I was with them Friday night when their Executive Board met to go over plans for the upcoming year, and Saturday when their local Bishop installed the new officers. I witnessed scores of women coming together from as far away as six hours, to pray,... READ MORE
Harveen's Brand of Hospitality
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Homemaking on Monday, October 10, 2011
This weekend, I experienced the power of faith and of hospitality while hanging out with a very cool group of Catholic ladies at the Winona Diocesan Council of Catholic Women’s annual conference. As the “featured” speaker, supposedly I was there to convey information and inspiration to the members who were assembling from ten districts across the southern portion of the state of Minnesota.
But the... READ MORE

Is Cheerleading a Sport?
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, October 04, 2011
Last week’s raging conversation on the debate over the youth beauty pageant circuit prompted one parent to write me about a new topic: cheerleading. Like the pageant family, this family has a young daughter and is divided over the idea of permitting a young girl (aged under ten) to be enrolled in competitive cheerleading.
I would imagine that some of my same thoughts from last week hold true—the idea... READ MORE
Post CNMC Blues Inspire Action
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, October 03, 2011
I’m home after four days of travel to this year’s wonderful Catholic New Media Conference and firmly ensconced behind the computer in my home office, trying to sort through and onslaught of email, but more importantly an onslaught of emotions.
After having attended four years of CNMCs, I recognize the symptoms. Sleep deprivation, a slightly weepy feeling that comes from missing my good friends, a... READ MORE
A Book Is Born
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Thursday, September 29, 2011
I just had to share my excitement at seeing the following video, posted by my friends at Ave Maria Press, home of my new book A Book of Saints for Catholic Moms. This video was shot by my publisher and friend Tom Grady, who knows how excited I am by the physical process of books! You can see the book running through the machines and heading into boxes to be shipped in a few weeks. To order your copy now, visit Amazon or Aquinas & More—your support is greatly appreciated!
Are Tiny Pageant Queens Too Young to Dream?
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, September 27, 2011
Last week, I had an interesting email from a concerned parent who is having a disagreement with their spouse over the participation of their child in the childhood pageant circuit. In hopes of protecting the family’s identity, I don’t want to go into any of the details on who’s in favor of turning the kiddo into a queen—suffice it to say that one parents ardently supports the plan and the other adamantly...

Is Your Parish Serving Your Family Online?
Faith and Family Live! | Posted by Lisa Hendey in Faith on Monday, September 26, 2011
This weekend, I will be presenting a few sessions at the wonderful Catholic New Media Conference hosted by SQPN.com - the Star Quest Production Network founded by Fr. Roderick Vonhögen. I know that some of our readers (including my buddies Danielle and Rachel) have enjoyed past CNMCs. It’s a time for fellowship with other geeks and communicators, for stimulating discussions about the Church’s use... READ MORE
