It’s been 23 weeks since we started our new Radio program, thanks to a partnership with the Catholic Channel, Sirius 159 and XM 117 – and now it’s time to take a bit of a break — just a bit, not completely. Kris and Michèle will be taking a break from News and Events and ...read more

Early morning flights and -26 degree Celsius temperatures. That was my impression of Edmonton after the first session of Nothing More Beautiful (NMB). It’s funny thinking back to it now, as July temperatures have pushed winter jackets far from my mind. But it was pretty chilly last December when S+L cameraman Wally Tello and I ...read more

This week I fell in love with another cat (other than my own cat at home) from the Diocese of London, Ontario. This cat lives at Holy Family Retreat House, which is located in a little hamlet called Oxley, 47 kilometres south of Windsor by Lake Erie.

June 29th marks the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. It is also the day the Holy Father bestows the Pallium on all the metropolitan archbishops appointed in the last 12 months. (These are the bishops who head of archdiocese, meaning jurisdiction over a metropolitan area.) Salt + Light will be bringing you live coverage ...read more

You’ve likely now seen Beloved, Salt + Light’s documentary about the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia—better known as the Nashville Dominicans—who have developed a young, growing community through their charisms of contemplative focus, active apostolate, strong community life and love of the Church.
