This week, we share the special music of Dr. Mike McCabe, a pediatrician and Catholic family man.  "The purpose of my music is to draw the family together and celebrate what they are all about" says Dr. Mike. The types and styles of music chosen by Dr. Mike shows this very thing. "I like songs that are of a nature that both child and adult will enjoy. The lyrics have things that will give both age groups something to enjoy and share. My goal is to have songs that are enjoyed by both adult and child, although often for different reasons."

Deacon Tom Fox shares a reflection on Blessed Junipero Serra and reminds us of the special song "I Can Only Imagine", performed by Catholic recording artist Angelina.

In this week's Mary Moment, Sarah Reinhard reminds us to tune in to the voice of Jesus Christ as Mary did.
