Product Description
Many faithful Catholics greet God and give Him thanks and praise when
they arise in the morning and retire at night. How they stay connected
with Him and the Faith throughout the day, however, varies widely. Many
forget that He is right there to call upon whenever the need or impulse
arises. Others see Him all around, in the flowers of the field, the
birds of the air, the smile of a child. Uniquely, Catholicism Everywhere
treats the reader to the many expressions of God in the hobbies, foods,
structures, and inventions developed by the Catholic Church and her
members.
Enjoy a cup of coffee and thank Pope Clement VIII for his refusal to
ban coffee and his edict proclaiming it to be an acceptable drink for
Christians. Turn on the radio and recall that Fr. Jozef Murgas patented a
form of wireless telegraphy, made the first wireless voice
transmission, and gave away his secrets to allow for the development of
radio. Send an e-mail and shop online with a nod to Sr. Mary Kenneth
Keller, a member of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
who became one of the first two students to earn a doctorate in computer
science, helping pave the way for personal computing.

man. This book features chapters on pets, gardening, health care,
