The Holy Highway Awaits You
Cartoons and Life Lessons for Your Journey of Faith
Encouragement for Following Jesus
Welcome to Catholic Roads, a place where faith meets everyday life.
You’re going to find cartoons, life lessons, reflections, and practical ideas for living the Christian life. Everything we create is easy-to-read, encouraging and a little humorous too because faith is too serious …
Not to be enjoyed!
Not to be thought about regularly!
Not to be carried with you all day, everyday!
And definitely not just something you have on Sunday mornings.
Faith is life!
Knight Life
One of the places where many of our stories begin is with a group of fictional men (cartoon characters) serving freely in their parish—St. Polycarp's. These guys:
Fix things.
Organize projects.
Help people.
Support their pastor.
And sometimes accidentally create a few problems along the way.
That’s how life is for most of us.
Their adventures form the heart of our Knight Life cartoon stories—short, humorous looks at the everyday work of faith, friendship, and service inside parish life and out in the community. We try very hard to make all of our cartoons “single panel.” It’s the ultimate challenge in telling short, short stories.
At the center of it all is their priest—a calm, thoughtful, kind man who almost always can be seen holding a cup of coffee. Around here we like to call his spirit “Coffee With Jesus.”
Things You’ll Find Here
Most of what we publish is short, simple, and meant to be enjoyed in a few minutes.
• Knight Life Stories
Humorous and thoughtful moments from parish life told as a cartoon (mostly single panel).
• Cartoons and Illustrations
Faith-inspired humor and visual storytelling (mostly Knight Life, but we might throw in something else from time to time).
• Life Hacks & Life Lessons
Simple ideas for living the Gospel in everyday situations. The plan right now is to include the Life Hacks in our blog articles and to make coloring page cards available to our readers with the cartoon on the front and the Life Hack on the back.
• Short Faith Reflections
Practical encouragement drawn from Scripture and real life.
The goal is simple: faith that fits into everyday life—and sometimes is funny too (or so we hope)!
The Holy Highway
Behind everything we create is a powerful image from Scripture:
“A highway shall be there… it shall be called the Holy Way.”
— Isaiah 35:8
We like to think of the Holy Highway as our, everyday life with Christ.
It’s a road open to everyone.
You don’t have to be perfect to walk it.
You just have to be willing to follow Jesus.
Every story, cartoon, and reflection we share is just one more mile marker along that road.
Join Us on the Road
Most of the real action happens in our blog, where we regularly publish new stories, reflections, and creative content. We also put things up on social media, particularly Facebook (we’re old, folks—give us a break)!
So take a look around, bookmark the site, and come back often.
There’s always something new waiting for you here on Catholic Roads—
somewhere along the Holy Highway.
