Behind the Halo

What's Up With the Name?

Catholic Christian belief is that all God's children are "saints in the making."  Everyone is called to aspire toward the holiness and selflessness of a Mother Teresa or Saint Francis.  At the same time we are all too often aware that this journey toward sainthood is one fraught with imperfections, struggles, and mistakes.  Each of us sports a Halo that is either dented, scratched, tarnished... in some way Busted.  Yet God loves us anyway and continually calls to bang out the dents and polish our halos up to a nice golden shine.  



Other Busted Halo Ministries

In addition to this website, Busted Halo Ministries collaborates with Charis Ministries to put on retreats for, and led by, young adults seeking to deepen their spiritual life and connection to a community of faith.  The BustedHalo Cast answers your question of faith each week with their weekly podcast. Coming soon look for Busted Halo Life Coaching, a Busted Halo book (!), and new offerings for young couples in interfaith marriages. Busted Halo Ministries is an outreach of the Paulist Fathers (see below).

 

Paulist Young Adult Ministries

Under the direction of Fr. Dave Dwyer, CSP and Mr. Mike Hayes, Paulist Young Adult Ministries helps young adults explore their spirituality, listen to and encourage one another, discover (or re-discover) the rich depths of Catholic tradition, and connect to communities of faith where their unique gifts will be respected and used, and where they will find support on their journey towards God. We also promote ministry to-by-and-for young adults in Catholic parishes and dioceses across the United States.  We help local communities of faith better incorporate those in their 20's and 30's into the lay mission of the Church in society. Founded in September of 2000 by Fr. Brett Hoover, CSP, and Mike Hayes, PYAM continues to seek out new ways make the connection between young, spiritual seekers and the community of the Church.   

In if you are seeking ways to better connect with young adults and would like us to come to speak to your parish or diocesan leadership, e-mail us.  Paulist Young Adult Minstries is also an outreach of the Paulist Fathers (see below).

 


The Paulist Fathers

The Paulist Fathers are a religious order of Roman Catholic priests — the first to be founded by an American citizen — whose mission territory is the United States and Canada.  The original founder of the Paulists, Fr. Isaac Hecker, CSP, believed strongly in using the most modern methods of communication to bring to life the ancient message of the Gospel.  In their 150 years as missionaries to North America, the Paulists have been on the cutting edge of publishing, radio, TV & film, and now the internet.  For more, click here.
