A message from Donna Tomasini
Dear parishioners and friends of Saint Peter's,
For the past thirty-five years I have been involved in Faith Formation Ministry, sixteen of those years as Director of Faith Formation for the Basilica of Saint Peter. This time has been extremely rewarding to me both personally and professionally, for not only have you allowed me the opportunity to serve you in ministry, including me in family celebrations; you have shared the many joys and sorrows in my own life. However, in this season of life God is calling me to step away from full time ministry. I informed Father Linsky in July that I would be retiring as Director of Faith Formation at the end of this calendar year.
This is a bittersweet time for me because I love this parish and you, the parishioners who have impacted my faith and life in unfathomable ways. Yet, this is also an exciting time as I look forward to now spending time with family and friends, and most specially to respond to God’s call to focus more fully on the ministry of Spiritual Direction. Change is always exciting and challenging. God graces each of us with faith and assurance that the Holy Spirit will guide us as we move forward.
Thank you for all your support throughout these many years, for allowing me to be a part of your faith life and the lives of your children. You will always hold a special place in my heart and my prayers.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Donna
Donna Tomasini
Director of Faith Formation
Timecord — Discord Timestamp Generator for Communities Across Time Zones
Planning a Discord event with people in different time zones? I built Timecord to make sharing the event time easier.
Choose a date, time, and source time zone, then copy the generated timestamp into your Discord message. Discord displays that moment in each reader’s local time zone and language.
Timecord includes:
- Date, time, and relative time formats, such as “in 2 hours.”
- Time zone previews to help check your event schedule.
- Daylight saving time checks for skipped or repeated local times.
- A mobile-friendly interface with one-click copying.
Use it for gaming sessions, raids, livestream announcements, AMAs, community meetups, and deadlines. No registration, Discord login, or bot…
Learning Lenormand? Start with Three Cards, Not Thirty-Six
Learning Lenormand can feel overwhelming at first. There are 36 cards to remember, and understanding an individual card is only part of the process. The next challenge is learning how the cards work together.
I created **Lenormand Cards** to make that learning process more approachable, with an illustrated card reference, explanations, and free three-card practice.
Here’s a simple exercise for beginners:
1. Ask a focused question.
Try “What should I pay attention to this week?” instead of a broad question such as “What will my future be?”
2. Draw three cards and note your first impressions.
Start with one or two keywords for each card. You don’t need to memorize every possible…
I recently discovered a very useful mouse testing website that can check the condition of your mouse scroll wheel through scrolling tests. If you want to see whether your mouse is damaged, you can try Scroll Test.
I appreciate the effort that went into creating this page. Everything is presented clearly and makes for an enjoyable browsing experience.
A game I frequently recommend to friends is GeoDash. The engaging gameplay, creative stages, and rewarding progression make it stand out.
Another important challenge is speed control. In Snow Rider 3D, the sled moves continuously, and players must adapt to the increasing pace of the game. At the beginning, the game may seem easy because the sled moves slowly, but after some time, the snowrider speed becomes much faster. This creates pressure on the player because there is less time to make decisions. Players must quickly decide whether to move left, right, or jump over obstacles. The increasing speed tests a player’s ability to stay calm under pressure. It also makes the game more thrilling because every second becomes more intense as the player tries to survive longer.
