Celebrity Blogger Week: Megan Castellan

Written by Supreme Executive Committee on February 6, 2018 — 11 Comments

Another day, another Lent Madness veteran. Megan Castellan has been a Celebrity Blogger for a long time. So long that she helped Brigid of Kildare become the first ever Silver Halo Winner (the Supreme Executive Committee occasionally awards the second place finisher with official laurels — based on their whim). But enough about the space […]

Here at Lent Madness we’re not unduly bound by tradition. Or at least not as much as certain stuffier circles of the church. Oh, who are we kidding? We hate change. Nonetheless, we are introducing something radical as this week’s episode of Monday Madness brings all-new theme music and opening title design! Watch and behold. Today […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Laurie Brock

Written by Supreme Executive Committee on February 5, 2018 — 8 Comments

Laurie Brock, an Alabama football fan still basking in the warm glow of yet another National Championship, has been a Celebrity Blogger for so long that we’ve lost count of when she started. We do recall that she shepherded Francis of Assisi to the Golden Halo in 2015. More importantly, she is the owner of […]

Carol Howard Merritt is a first-time Celebrity Blogger AND our first ever Presbyterian contributor! Yes, it’s a slippery slope and the next thing you know, John Calvin will end up in the bracket. But we’re delighted Carol is aboard and we know you’ll enjoy getting to know her. With over 10,000 followers on Twitter she also […]

Wow. All this saint stuff sure makes us hungry. Fortunately we have a Celebrity Chef on staff to assist with all your culinary needs. Maria Virginia Ross typically shares a recipe — and some saintly insights — on the Saturdays of Lent. You can find her posts on our Facebook page (you HAVE liked the […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Adam Thomas

Written by Supreme Executive Committee on February 2, 2018 — 5 Comments

Adam Thomas has been with the Lent Madness team ever since he had the misfortune of serving as the assistant priest in Cohasset, Massachusetts. This wouldn’t have been a bad thing — in fact it’s a lovely town — except that Tim was rector of the church in the next town. Suddenly Adam found himself […]

Lent Madness Bulletin Inserts!

Written by Supreme Executive Committee on February 1, 2018 — 4 Comments

Some people think of the Supreme Executive Committee as penitence potentates, looking to gain whatever advantage can be gained from the season of Lent. But that’s not the only side of the SEC. They also enjoy bestowing gifts upon the Lent Madness faithful. Thus it is, if you are looking to share the Lent Madness […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Marcus Halley

Finally! A newly-minted Celebrity Blogger to introduce. We’re excited to add Marcus Halley to the Lent Madness team this year. Sure, Minnesota is now over-represented (cough…David Creech…cough) but can you really ever have too much tuna fish casserole? In other news, for your pre-Lenten reading pleasure, here’s a rare, behind-the-scenes Q & A with Lent […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: Neva Rae Fox

We’re excited that returning Celebrity Blogger Neva Rae Fox agreed to answer our questions despite the fact that it’s Super Bowl Week. You may not know this, but Neva is a HUGE Philadelphia Eagles fan. We’re not sure if she was one of those Philly fans who once famously booed Santa Claus but at least […]

Celebrity Blogger Week: David Creech

Written by Supreme Executive Committee on January 30, 2018 — 8 Comments

Here at Lent Madness, we hoard Davids. We have three of them: Sibley, Hanson, and Creech (not including St. David of Wales). Two out of three of our Davids are Lutherans, but that’s a mystery for another day. Today we meet David Creech, the first of our Trinity of Davids. This is Dr. David’s fifth […]
