Conceived and founded by Mary Kay Hoal, Yoursphere
is the first social networking service for youth that parents can
embrace. Drawing on her corporate entrepreneurial experience as a media
strategist, advertising, marketing and publishing VP formerly with CMP
Media LLC, Mary Kay built the Yoursphere team.
A proud wife and mother of five children (both biological and adopted,
ranging in age from 4-17 years old), Mary Kay Hoal faces the same
challenges every parent does: keeping her kids safe; raising them to be
good, happy and well-balanced people; and providing them with the tools
and support to create their own future. While Mary Kay readily admits
that she didn't "get" the whole online social networking phenomenon at
first, she quickly recognized its importance in her kids' lives. After
researching the disturbing landscape of social networking
sites—including endless inappropriate content and thousands of
predators targeting youth—Mary Kay's mission became clear: raise the
bar. Yoursphere
is a terrific online community where kids and teens connect, share and
inspire -- all in a place the puts Internet safety first. Parents can
relax while kids and teens have fun.
A visit to a U. S. military cemetery near Florence Italy is the fodder for this week's Deacon Moment with Deacon Tom Fox. Tom suggests we applaud all our veterans and to pray for them on this, their special day. Sarah Reinhard’s struggling with prayer, and her Mary Moment reflection this week includes a quote from Mother Teresa's Secret Fire: The Encounter That Changed Her Life and How It Can Transform Your Own This episode of Catholic Moments is sponsored by CatholicMatch.com, the Leading Catholic Singles Community.

Our guests this week, Steve and Joni Abdalla, are the Catholic parents of three daughters and the founders of Wee Believers™, 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.
