Mercers travelling to Minnesota

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Bookstore sale delayed yet again

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

The bookstore sale was supposed to close on August 15. But that date has come and gone.

There's also a lot of information on the website of the Diocese of Lansing.

MLive reports that Boyea, 56, will be installed as bishop at 2pm, April 29th in Lansing. (Hat tip: American Papist.)

Tom Monaghan surprises again

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

Hat tip to Fumare, a website that is detailing the train wreck that is AMU.
