About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Father,
I’m sad, this is the second time you are coming to my turf, just minutes away from my home, and I won’t be able to catch you. But depending on how long you are in the area, if you would like to come visit our beautiful Villanova University, a Catholic institution run by the Augustinians, please feel free to shoot me an e-mail. I have several friends there who are big time fans of yours, and I can’t guarantee but I am confident nonetheless that I could arrange for you to preside over a TLM at either our big church or our smaller chapel (I’m afraid the setup of the smaller chapel might make things difficult, but we can figure that out). If you are interested please e-mail me at augustinianheart@gmail.com. I have been contemplating my strategy for getting a TLM instituted on campus, and your presence would certainly be a welcome support.
For pictures of our campus, including pictures of our church, I’ve posted them very recently at my own blog, here:

Oh, and I forgot: GO PHILLIES!!!!!!
Welcome to Philly/Camden/Berlin!
I am looking forward to tonight’s and Sunday’s Mass.
I hope I get an opportunity to meet you.
To Michael Hallman:
Remember this always: “THE HAWK WILL NEVER DIE!!!” (Sorry ’bout shouting, but we gifted ones from St. Joe’s feel that its necessary when speaking to a Wild Cat.)
Mr. Enright,
Our Augustinian vocations director is actually a St. Joe’s alum. Fortunately he has seen the error of his ways before it was too late, and now serves the much holier Villanova community and supports our far superior basketball team :-P
Jesuits do tend to shout more. It’s the only way they can be heard while their heads remain so far up in the clouds :)
Let’s go Fightin’ Phils!
Michael Hallman:
Ouch.
