SURVEY

Kids at Mass

And lead us not into temper tantrums

Parishioners should help parents and their children feel welcome at Mass, argues Heidi Schlumpf in this month's Sounding Board. Tell us whether you think kids at Mass are pests or blessings by taking our survey for the August 2011 issue of U.S. Catholic.

Summer homework

 

Summer is in sight, and with it comes vacation--time to pick up a copy of U.S. Catholic and head outside to catch some rays (a good reason to subscribe to the print edition). Our June interview with travel guru Rick Steves and Reader Survey on travel make for enjoyable and thought-provoking reading for the poolside or beach.
  
But don't let the waves wash away your thoughts. After you come home, turn on the computer and tell us what you think of our June issue. Send us a letter to the editor about exorcism or Iraq. Or share your stories and photos of how you've seen God on vacation (submit them to our Flickr group or by email). We'll publish your letters and photos online and possibly in the magazine.

Margin Notes: Put down the budget axe  

The election season is fast approaching and the rhetorical ammunition no doubt being stockpiled. This month will begin something Washington is describing as budget negotiation with an eye on the guns of August, when the government will have to raise the debt ceiling.
