Video Podcasts?

By Greg Willits • Oct 15th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

Fr. Roderick over at Catholic Insider has already set the bar for Catholic video podcasts with his new Catholic Minute video podcast. For the initial episode, I thought he did a great job and immediately found myself wondering about the technical stuff:
What kind of camcorder was he using?
What kind of microphone?
What did he use to [...]



Happy Feast Day!

By Greg Willits • Oct 7th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

Happy Feast of our Lady of the Holy Rosary! It’s amazing how excited I’ve been for this feast day today, and it’s all because of the great things Jesus and Mary have done to strengthen this apostolate to allow us to continue making, praying, and giving away all-twine knotted Rosaries.
Perhaps my excitement is also [...]



Something good is going on

By Greg Willits • Sep 28th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

The article from the Georgia Bulletin that I posted about last week was picked up by the Catholic News Service, and apparently is making the rounds around the country. How do I know this? Because our website stats have been through the roof this week, and we couldn’t be happier about it. [...]



Article From Georgia Bulletin

By Greg Willits • Sep 20th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

Last week the Georgia Bulletin, the Catholic newspaper for the Archdiocese of Atlanta, ran a very nice article about Rosary Army. I just got word from the writer of the article that it has now been placed online. Here’s a link.
We had a great time visiting with Erika, the reporter, and Michael, the photographer. We [...]



Our first completed decade

By Greg Willits • Sep 16th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

Ten years ago today God gave me a wife and together we embarked on a spiritual journey that challenges, enriches, and blesses me still today. Happy anniversary, Jennifer. I don’t blame you for all of my hair falling out. That’s our kids’ fault.

The above picture on the left was taken during our Honeymoon 10 years [...]



August Winners

For once I finally got the Rosary Makers’ monthly incentives contest done in a timely manner. I’ve even sent off the gifts to the two people who won. But did I remember to post their names? Of course not.
So please allow me to congratulate Jeanne H. and Melissa S.!
Jeanne sent in the most Rosaries for [...]



What A Great Name!

By Greg Willits • Sep 13th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

Over the years I’ve received countless wedding invitations, birth announcements, and graduation pictures, but I’ve never received a card like the one I got last week.
You may remember about a year ago when I posted about Julie, a Rosary Army Soldier who moved to Nashville to enter the convent of the Dominican Sisters there.
During her [...]



This Past Sunday

By Greg Willits • Sep 6th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

Mass was emotional on Sunday. It started with the announcement that Fr. Michael Henninger would be concelebrating the 10 AM Mass. If you’ve been around Rosary Army for awhile, you know the vital impact Fr. Michael had on the formation of Rosary Army. Fr. Michael used to be our parochial vicar, but he left our [...]

The Holy Father has asked me to thank you for your kind letter and the accompanying gift of a hand-made rosary and video disc. He appreciates your devoted sentiments.
His Holiness sends prayerful good wishes for your efforts to promote devotion to the Rosary. Upon you and [...]



Podcasting

By Greg Willits • Mar 4th, 2005 • Category: Welcome to Rosary Army

I keep hearing about “Podcasting,” which is basically an easy way to create mini radio-like shows that people can download to their computers or directly to an MP3 player.
You’d “subscribe” to the podcast in much the same way you could subscribe to Rosary Army’s News From Headquarters if you use a blog-reader, as I mentioned [...]
