While I know journalism can make change in its own right, each story leaves me with a desire to do more. Teaching English as a second language is a perfect fit: a way I can meaningfully contribute to the world.
Two stories on a priest’s fall from grace.
Monsignor Kevin McAuliffe, second only to the bishop in the Las Vegas Diocese, admitted to stealing $650,000 from one of Nevada’s largest Catholic churches. Three days after his guilty plea in federal court, the pastor said he stole to feed his gambling addiction. Parishioners at his Summerlin parish wept when they learned McAuliffe could no longer lead their church and promised to forgive their beloved priest. One man credited the monsignor with his own gambling addiction recovery.
I’ve been feeling a bit of positive energy lately … so I just thought I’d spread it around.
Cheers to my first post in a new little series I’m bringing to the blog. Every week, I’ll put up a bit on things I’m loving at the moment. I think it will be a fun way to share a peek into my everyday life.
