Catholic Home and Garden has been a labor of love almost entirely by one woman for close to 14 years. It's time to pass the reigns of management and operations to the next generation - our son Blaze and his wife Melissa.
The loss of our home and destruction of our business to Superstorm Sandy took an extreme toll on our spiritual, mental and physical well being - and that translated into our inability to keep up with our business adequately.
In the future, you can expect faster shipping, rapid response to your queries and links that are updated and relevant to your lives as Catholics.
Mom, Christine, will focus on designing her mantillas and chapel veils -- the work she loves to do and, we think you'll agree, the work that she does better than anyone we know.
So, thank you for your patience and we look forward to growing in faith and service.

"The minister to whom confession is made is the delegate of Christ, Who is the Judge of the living and the dead."
- St Thomas Aquinas

A Surprisingly Simple Guide for Catholic Parishes and Individuals
In January 2008, after watching the signs for over two years, I began to write about what is broadly perceived as the coming economic chastisement - the imminent collapse of the global economy. I asked readers: "Are we on the verge of another Great Depression? Are we on the brink of TEOTWAWKI?" (The End of the World As We Know It). Many thought I was alarmist - over-reacting.

It's later than you think. It's time to "buckle up" spiritually. Late this spring I was blessed to hear a talk and attend a Mass offered by an American exorcist who was assistant to the well known Father Gabriel Amorth, chief exorcist of Rome. He had a lot to say, but one phrase chilled me to the bone:
"I can count on less than the fingers of one hand the number of years remaining before all hell literally breaks loose."

I've been working on the final version of "The Coming Economic Chastisement" that will be complete with spiritual preparations and it will soon be available. In the meanwhile, here are preview chapters:
