People are hungry for stories of faith. People are hungry for hope.

I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries, mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam.

I pray. I try to find space to process with a walk on the beach, a hike in the hills. Nature is restorative. I also try not to overreact. I grew up in Ireland, and we are big tea drinkers, and I think it's less about the tea itself and more about the ritual and the moment to prepare.

I'm the youngest of six children; both of my sisters are housewives and they each have four kids.

If you have donated, these children may never know your name, but they will never forget your kindness.

Catholics Come Home inspires each of us to share God’s love with others, in order to help change the world for the better, for eternity!

A smile costs about $240.
