    When God Asks for an Undivided Heart: Choosing Celibacy in Love and Freedom

    Celibacy is one of God’s greatest gifts to the world ... and one of the most misunderstood. With clear, insightful reflections, Fr. Apostoli provides a resounding look at this valuable discipline based on his 40 years as a priest, spiritual director, and seminary teacher. Several bishops have made this highly acclaimed work required reading for their seminarians. Click here to buy. Sr. Catherine Holum, CFR grew up in a Catholic home in Wisconsin spending most of her childhood at the ice rink where her mother was a speedskating coach. During middle school and high school, she competed on a national and international level with the U.S. Speedskating team. Sr. Catherine first felt a call to be a sister while on a pilgrimage to Fatima at age sixteen. A year later she competed in the 1998 Winter Olympic Games in speedskating, placing 6th in the 3000 m. and 7th in the 5000 m. Deciding to pursue a degree in art instead of a future in sports, she studied photography at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Following her graduation in 2002, she did a pro-life walk across America which brought her to World Youth Day in Toronto. Her call to religious life which she received in Fatima as a teenager was rekindled that summer. Following a year of prayerful discernment, Sr. Catherine entered the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal in 2003 and professed final vows in 2010 in the Bronx, NY. Having spent ten years in the sisters’ mission in Leeds, England, she now resides at Our Lady Queen of Angels Convent in East Harlem, New York where she currently serves as postulant directress.

    The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety

    In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, Sacred Heart Mental Wellness is reintroducing its bestselling book, The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety, now in its third edition with updated content and a new companion workbook. Originally published in 2022, the revised edition offers a practical and faith-informed approach to understanding and managing anxiety. “Too often, mental health is treated only as a problem to fix rather than a way of life to strengthen,” said Catherine DiNuzzo, author, licensed professional counselor, and founder of Sacred Heart Mental Wellness. “Many who struggle with anxiety often internalize the lie that they aren’t strong enough, capable enough, or faithful enough to overcome it. “The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety reassures readers of their inherent worth and that anxiety does not define them. It explains anxiety both biologically and spiritually through a Catholic lens, affirming that each person is created good and deeply loved by God.” Catherine DiNuzzo is a Catholic speaker, author, and Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice. She operates Sacred Heart Mental Wellness, a website offering mental health information, resources, assessments, and videos for Catholics seeking to live a mentally fit lifestyle. Catherine is the author of the bestselling book “The Catholic Guide Through Anxiety”. To strengthen the effectiveness of the content in her book, Catherine produced the “Companion Workbook” as a hands-on supplement to walk her readers through the difficult work on the journey toward mental wellness. Catherine has been traveling internationally for over 20 years to speak and train on mental wellness, anxiety, relationships, boundaries, and more, and has been featured on EWTN (USA, Vatican, and Ireland), FOCUS, Blessed is She, numerous Catholic radio and podcasts, and in print articles.
