Marriage: A Gift From God

The institution of marriage is under siege in our culture and even in our Church. The number of Catholic couples marrying outside the church is at an all time high. What's the secret to a great marriage? A happy family? A fulfilled life? Here's a hint: it doesn't involve seven principles, five simple steps or a purpose-driven plan of action. It does involve an architect, many gifts, and hilarity.

Dr. Tom Curran will lead you on a journey to learn the true architect of your marriage, and how you are called to formulate a plan for your marriage that will withstand the winds that buffet and the storms that come. What you discover will change forever your view of marriage, your spouse, and yourself!

TheMass: Four Encounters With Jesus

This course by Dr. Tom Curran examines the Mass not merely as a ritual, but as an event, a point of contact where Jesus Christ approaches you to change your life. Talk by Talk Dr. Curran accompanies you from the time you pull into the parking lot for Mass, until you walk out the doors after the final blessing, using examples and stories from everyday life that will move you deeply and at times make you laugh. By the end you will see with new eyes what is so familiar to you, and hear with new ears what you've heard over and over at Mass, and your response will never be the same.

Ideal for educators, pastoral ministers, catechists, or lay study groups, the new study-guide edition of The Mass: Four Encounters With Jesus that Will Change Your Life includes in-depth questions designed to stimulate group discussion. The guide covers all chapters of the book, and challenges participants to examine their experience of the Mass with the goal of bringing about a greater understanding of what is happening and Who is showing up at Mass. Journey with others as you prepare for a personal encounter with Our Lord, who longs to encounter you and to change your life.
