TESTIMONIALS

“This comprehensive compendium delves into the history of the Church’s teaching on Catholic Schools, offering insightful works of the popes that leads to thought-provoking discussions. From the turn of the 20th-century to contemporary writings, this history navigates through decades of human spirituality, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of catholic education in the midst of church tradition. As Rector-President of the only diocesan high school seminary in the country, I found Fr Nicholas’ work to be engaging and illuminating.  A Concise History of a Hundred Years of Papal Teaching on Catholic Education and its full version, The Mission of Catholic Schools, are an indispensable resource for anyone involved in Catholic Education.” – Rev. James Kuroly, EdD, Cathedral Preparatory School and Seminary, Diocese of Brooklyn
“Fr. Nicholas L. Gregoris’ scholarly 89-page history of a century of papal teaching on Catholic education is a classic. It beautifully captures the uncommon commonsense wisdom the Catholic Church has transmitted for millennia to the West and the world. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Buy a copy and tell others about it.” – Dr. Peter A. Redpath, Founder and CEO, Aquinas School of Leadership, LLC 

“A solid contribution to our Catholic history of education and a handy resource for every Catholic educator.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, co-editor with Timothy Westbrook and Vicki Dunnam of Teaching and Learning in the Age of COVID19: Faith-Based–Online and Emergency Remote

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Reverend Nicholas L. Gregoris, a member of Priestly Society of Saint John Henry Cardinal Newman, holds theological degrees from the Pontifical Gregorian University and the Pontifical Faculty Marianum, both in Rome, as well as a doctorate in Catholic school administration from Pontifex University. He is the managing editor of The Catholic Response magazine.
 
Fr Nicholas was the major translator of The Mission of Catholic Schools: A Century of Reflection and Direction, a perfect resource for curriculum development, Catholic identity assessment, professional development seminars and the creation of mission statements. This anthology originated from the repeated wish of “practitioners” to have a handy collection of ecclesiastical documents on Catholic schools. Under that rubric, included are papal teachings, as well as texts from the Second Vatican Council, the Congregation for Catholic Education, the Code of Canon Law, the Catechism of the Catholic Church and the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Although the Church has been engaged in the education apostolate from her earliest days, it was deemed necessary to take on a reasonable focus—a century of reflection seemed to fit the bill, beginning with the pontificate of Benedict XV and ending with that of Francis.

TESTIMONIALS

“Rich May’s book entitled Addressing Moral Confusion should be a widely used tool that can help young people today navigate our fractured world. I recommend it to all who are charged with sharing the truth of Jesus Christ with the next generation.” – Bishop Joseph E. Strickland, Bishop Emeritus, Diocese of Tyler, Texas

“In Addressing Moral Confusion, Rich May responds to various forms of moral relativism and ‘group thinking’ that are prevalent in the world today. Drawing upon logic, the natural law, Scripture, and Catholic tradition, he exposes the fallacious arguments used to defend abortion, gender ideology, and other harmful movements. Even those who might dispute certain matters of empirical data will benefit from this book. Rich May not only provides moral arguments; he also incorporates prayers and devotions—especially to the Virgin Mary—that support wisdom, virtue, and holiness.” – Dr. Robert Fastiggi, Professor of Dogmatic Theology, Sacred Heart Major Seminary, Detroit

“As a homeschool parent who has taught my children from K to 12, I have found Rich May’s Teachers Workbook to be an excellent, concise and engaging teaching resource that should be used in every school curriculum.” –  F. Dunne, Homeschool Parent

“Rich May’s genius for clarity and timeliness is demonstrated through the scholarly and well-informed portrayal of these critical issues, the necessity for us to grasp and understand the issues, and the motivation for us to take zealous action! Well Done! Highly recommended!!” – R. Lochner, USMC retired, Catholic Educator and Author

“As a parish educator, I believe Addressing Moral Confusion fills a profound void in Catholic moral instruction for youth by giving young Catholics the foundational moral principles, fundamental truths, and intellectual tools with which to understand the reality of absolute moral truth as taught by the Catholic Church and to recognize the counterfeit morality of today’s modern, secular culture.” – J. Barros, Retired Director of Parish Faith Formation

“This is Moral teaching at its finest.  Each chapter in itself is foundational, yet each chapter builds on the previous foundational chapter so that what you end up with is a solid understanding of God’s Truth as it pertains to Moral Law.  These are truly solid building blocks that could be used in any Catholic teaching program.” – K. Kerne, Catholic Catechist

“Rich May has written a manual to stress and arrest the dire circumstances that are swiftly losing a whole generation of children trapped in social and cultural milieus that are fast bankrupting themselves of every traditional moral and spiritual rectitudes, and systematically capitalizing on the children’s vulnerability to feed them with the worst forms of relativisms ever known in human history.” – Fr. R. Nwankwo, PhD

“In a world with so much confusion, Addressing Moral Confusion provides the reader with the tools to engage the errors and challenges the faithful are facing.” – I. Aguilera, Catholic Classical School Principal

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A former Air Force pilot, Rich May is a retired aerospace engineer by profession. He has a BA in Pastoral Theology from the University of St. Thomas in Houston and an MA in theology from the Franciscan University in Steubenville Ohio.  He has appeared several times on the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) and often on Catholic radio with a live weekly show on Radio Maria.  With an approbation from the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, he speaks locally and nationally.  He has 35 years experience teaching catechesis at all levels and has authored several booklets including The Rosary a Prayer For All Christians and The Rosary a Prayer for All Native Peoples.  Currently he is teaching the youth how to courageously respond to the counter-culture.

Homework: How to Hire, Manage & Monitor Employees who Work at Home

Homework: How to Hire, Manage & Monitor Employees who Work at Home

Homework: How to Hire, Manage & Monitor Employees who Work at Home (Post-Covid Edition)

by Phillip Emile Mahfood and Sebastian Phillip Mahfood

Aren’t telecommuters just employees who work at home?

In the landmark 1992 edition of Homework: How to Hire, Manage & Monitor Employees who Work at Home, businessman and entrepreneur Phillip Emile Mahfood described three types of telecommuters:

  • The traditional, work-at-home — either full- or part-time
  • Those who work in a satellite office
  • Those who work in a neighborhood center

and asked some important questions concerning them:

While telecommuting is obviously a savings for the employee in terms of the time, expense and pressures of commuting, how does it help the employer?

In Homework, author Phillip Emile Mahfood provides an in-depth analysis of the cost benefits to all involved, and also details an echo-effect in which the benefits to the employee are a boon to the employer and vice versa. A few of the employer’s benefits include:

  • Decreased overhead
  • A larger, more talented workforce from which to draw
  • Increased productivity

Increased productivity? Wouldn’t there be less direct supervision and, therefore, less accountability among at-home workers?

Telecommuting is about productivity and accountability — not office politics, not the corporate ladder and not “people pleasing.” Thanks to today’s technology, supervision of home workers doesn’t have to be a problem, and with less time wasted in commuting, workers have more uninterrupted, time-on-task hours per day. The guarantee of a productive telecommuting plan is in its method of structuring and implementation.

How does one structure a telecommuting program that ensures productivity and profitability?

Homework shows companies how to implement an air-tight program, covering every aspect from the cost of starting up to managing those who work outside the office. Using case histories of companies that have effectively integrated telecommuting programs, this hands-on guide explores all the key issues:

  • Positions that lend themselves to telecommuting
  • Selecting employees who make good telecommuters
  • Attributes needed for effective telecommuter management
  • How to prioritize tasks for the at-home worker
  • How to monitor and measure job performance
  • Telecommuting as a means of legislative compliance
  • Organized labor’s view of telecommuting
  • Telecommuting as it relates to a global economy

In this post-Covid edition, Dr. Sebastian Phillip Mahfood picks up where his father left off following an additional three decades of technological development and a world-wide cataclysm that caused for a time the home-basing of a great number of employees in practically every industry, government office, school and college.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Phillip Emile Mahfood (1947-2004) owned and operated a telemarketing sales company for over three decades and was a consultant specializing in the establishment and management of telecommuting and telemarketing divisions who traveled extensively to conduct seminars on the benefits of teleprocessing.

The author of three business books, including TeleSelling: High Performance Business to Business Phone Selling Techniques and Customer Crisis: Turning an Unhappy Customer into a Life-Long Client, Phillip Mahfood sought to provide business owners with the kind of expertise that became even more greatly needed during the extended Covid-19 homestays as businesses struggled to figure out how to “hire, manage & monitor,” in effect, to ensure their businesses could continue to thrive with remotely located human resources, the home-based worker.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sebastian Phillip Mahfood was raised in a home of an innovator in work-based methodologies, learning first-hand the secrets of the Arab caravan model of entrepreneurialism under the tutelage of someone who’d have given the most die-hard Phoenician colonialist a run for his money.

Such techniques as he learned from his father enabled him to remotely multiply twenty-fold over the course of a decade the tuition revenues of a small Catholic liberal arts college in central Connecticut relying almost exclusively on a network of home-based faculty and staff. His skills also enabled him to launch a home-based publishing house and radio station and manage the efforts of what is now over two hundred authors and show hosts in a growing Catholic media enterprise.

The wisdom revealed in this book begins with that of Phillip Emile Mahfood and is extended by his son, who has also accomplished through remote work while traveling the globe, four master’s degrees following the completion of his doctorate, the establishment of a Catholic Distance Learning Network, and the development of a number of 100% online service organizations.
