By Brian Freyberger Springtime brings with it a lot of change and many opportunities to celebrate transitions. (Even if the weather keeps playing tricks on us, trying to drag us back to winter).

Courage to Give
by Kurt Tobin “It is in giving that we receive” – St. Francis of Assisi Seton Men, I ask you to be courageous – and give. We have so much to be thankful for in our lives, and I am especially thankful for my faith, our Seton community, and the families that make up that community. But as much as I …
