I thought some of you might enjoy reading this article I found in The Catholic Spirit (the newspaper of the Archdiocese of St. Paul-Minneapolis) the other day. It's about eight camp counselors who all met at Catholic Youth Camp in McGregor, MN, paired off into couples, and eventually got married. The first couple mentioned is none other than Paul and Taryn Yantes, whom most of you probably remember; they graduated from SMU in 2006, got married in September of that year, and had a baby boy this past Christmas.
It's a cute article; enjoy!

Viva Roma
Alright, this is my first attempt at blogging - but inspired by Dr. SWD, I thought I would offer a link to a blog that might be of interest.
As many of you know, Dr. Sobolewski and I are members of the University Council on Lasallian Mission and Formation. As members of the Council, we are going with the other university representatives to Rome this week. We are meeting at the Christian Brothers headquarters and will meet the Superior General, Br. Alvaro, and spend the week studying and praying about our Lasallian mission.
A blogspot (is that the right word, Dr. SWD?) has been created by one of our colleagues in the Twin Cities at: http://smucfm.blogspot.com/ Every day, someone from the group will post a report about the day and what we did. Check it out and see what we are up to!
Have a good break (oh, yea, who's going to check a blogspot during break??)! I miss you all this semester. S.J.

Save The Date: Commonweal Lecture
Saint Mary's University in Winona is hosting the Commonweal lecture on April 10, 2008. The speaker will be one of Commonweal's editors, Dennis O'Brien, a philosopher and president emeritus of Middlebury College in Vermont. His latest book is Finding the Voice of the Church by University of Notre Dame Press. The working title of his 7pm lecture is "Can The University Be Catholic?"
Student discussion session in the later afternoon as well, on why the popular atheists (think Sam Harris, Christopher Hitchens, etc....) get it wrong.
Put it on your calendar now!
