Joseph Robinette's brilliantly crafted adaptation of E.B. White's beloved children's classic, Charlotte's Web, opens at St. Bridget Church on Thursday, November 16th. They're all here: Wilbur, the irresistible young pig who desperately wants to avoid the butcher; Fern, a girl who understands what animals say to each other; Templeton, the gluttonous rat who can occasionally be talked into a good deed; the Zuckerman family; the Arables; and, most of all, the extraordinary spider, Charlotte, who proves to be “a true friend and a good writer.” When Fern’s uncle decrees that Wilbur must become bacon, Fern, Charlotte, Templeton the rat and all Wilbur’s farmyard friends come up with an ingenious plan to fool the humans and save their very special pig. Joyful, funny, and deeply moving, Charlotte’s Web is rightly heralded as one of the greatest children’s books ever written. Click to learn more and purchase tickets.

Dear Friends in Christ, One of my favorite songs is “Seasons of Love” from the musical “Rent.” It generally plays in the Christmas season, but the words really apply year-round: How do you measure a year in a life? How about love, seasons of love? Continue reading...

Dear Friends in Christ, Most of you know that I was on a much-needed “Staycation” for the last couple of weeks. One of the highlights of my time off was the chance to attend the UW vs. Oregon football game on Saturday, October 14th. It was one for the ages with the Huskies coming away with a dramatic victory over the Ducks. The UW students stormed the field at the end of the game and thousands of Dawg Fans united in thunderous jubilation and joy to celebrate the win. Still carrying a sense of that elation, I made my way home where I picked up the continuing news coverage of the heartbreaking events that have led to the recent deaths of thousands in the Middle East. As I watched the news I said a quiet prayer in desperate hope that one day the world would gather to celebrate a just and lasting peace in the Middle East with the joy and fervor I had just experienced at Husky Stadium. As we continue to commemorate Respect Life Month in the US Catholic Church, let us never give up praying, hoping, and dreaming of the eventual triumph of love over hate, justice over oppression, and peace over war.
