Catholic Moments #125 - Steve and Joni Abdalla, Wee Believers

catholicmoments@mac.com (Lisa Hendey) — Thu, 5 Nov 2009 20:33:00 GMT

Our guests this week, Steve and Joni Abdalla, are the Catholic parents of three daughters and the founders of Wee Believersâ, an authentically Catholic toy company based in Indianapolis. The inaugural product of Wee Believers is the "My Mass Kit", a great tool for faith formation for little ones. During this conversation, we discuss the mission and history of Wee Believers, as well as the "leap of faith" taken by the Abdalla family to share their love of faith with others.

What is it like at your parish before liturgy starts? Is it a quiet, sacred church? Or is it noisy and neighborly? Deacon Tom discusses this by sharing about a recent Saturday evening at his parish in Arizona.

Do you want a Mary Vitamin in your inbox? Sarah Reinhard shares a quote from a recent Mary Vitamin and encourages you to sign up to receive your own.

The bittersweet compilation of words, photographs and illustrations is dedicated to Demetrius, a brain cancer victim whose life was claimed at the tender age of twelve but who was an inspiration to all he met through his courage, zest for life and faith in God.
