Back in 2017, my husband and I were just starting out. We were newly married, our careers were taking off, we’d just bought our first home, and we were dreaming of growing our family. To anyone watching from the outside, we seemed to be living the “American Dream.” But there was a little snag—$275,000 in debt. It felt like we were stuck financially, with credit cards, car loans, and “normal” money stress all around. Was this really the only way? We decided to explore a different path. That’s when we discovered Financial Peace University and “The Baby Steps.” Over nine weeks, we learned principles that helped us create a budget, pay off debt, invest for the future, and become more generous givers. Was it easy? No, but it was definitely worth it.
If you’re looking for some great strategies using biblical wisdom and common sense to help you with your finances, we’d love for you to join us in September for that same nine-week course. It’s a chance to change your financial future. This isn’t a quick fix or a get-rich-quick scheme—it’s for anyone who wants to manage their money better and become a good steward of their money, with God’s love in mind.

God draws spouses closer to the Heavenly marriage through the sanctifying power of the Sacrament of Holy Matrimony. However, that means it is not always easy, and it certainly is not like what newlyweds may imagine.
In The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful: The Joys and Struggles of Real Married Life, Edward and Beth Sri - national marriage speakers - show readers that the struggles of marriage are to be expected and, even more so, they are purifying us to make us saints.
No marriage is perfect, and neither is the Sri’s. This book is packed full of hilarious and relatable stories from their 20+ years of marriage. From their experience, see helpful tips, mindsets, and reminders of how to live out the beautiful vocation of marriage.
In good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, God has an incredible vocation for all spouses. The Good, the Messy, and the Beautiful goes into the nitty-gritty, explaining what to do when reality hits—when the rubber hits the road.

From discussions about:
Miscommunication
Healing
Intimacy
Gifts
And more
You will dive into new depths of the reality of Catholic marriage—from the messy to the beautiful—in this practical, entertaining, and wise book.
