Catholic Fire

I want to thank all those who nominated and voted for Catholic Fire in the Catholic New Media Awards. Catholic Fire came in second in the category of Best Blog by a Religious. I was really surprised to even be nominated for this category. I suppose Catholic Fire was nominated because I am an Oblate with the Community of St. John. The zealous Fr. Z took first place (beating this blog by a landslide) and I'm very happy for him. Congratulations, Fr. Z.! It's only appropriate that a priest should win in this Year for Priests, right? :) You can check out the results here and be sure to stop by and visit all the great blogs listed there as well as those in my sidebar. God bless you!
