Get thee to a nunnery!

2 comments

This is exciting news 🙂 My friend Jenna has been accepted into the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, an order of nuns who care for terminal cancer patients who can’t afford care. I’ve known Jenna for over three years now and, trust me, she’s going to be a seriously epic kind of nun:

Before Jenna can join the nuns, however, she has to expunge her student debt. So, if you’d like to help get her to the convent, I’d invite you to visit the website below, read her story, look at the pictures and make a donation:

As one of her friends put it, the sooner we can get her to the convent, the sooner we can get her praying for us  and the sooner we can get holy 😉

Somehow this completely passed me by. If you’re in the San Diego area, Catholic answers are having a series of free talks available this summer. Some of them have happened already, but there remaining talks are “The Gift of the Magisterium”, “Answering Atheism” and “Marriage Issues”:

Integrating Google Calendar with my Blog

Leave a comment

Hey everyone, this is just a little post to test Google Calendar integration for something I’m working on for a parish website. Below is embedded calendar of the JP2 Group, the young adult community which I used to lead:

Despite what all the tutorials say, it’s not exactly straight-forward embedding a Google Calendar on a WordPress blog. The calendar is shown in an IFRAME which, unfortunately, WordPress automatically removes when you try to save it. To get around this, I installed an IFRAME plugin and this seemed to do the trick. Thankfully, this issue wouldn’t exist on a regular website 🙂
