"It is important to remember that no matter how unusual a family shape may be, 
grace is there, in all the vast spaces and details that make up that family's life."
                                                              - Dolores Leckey inThe Ordinary Way 

"It is not the job of parishes to 'bring Christ' to families, 
but to honor the presence of Christ already there."
                                                - Bishop Anthony M. Pilla at Oberlin College, 1995
