We have a Pope!

Taylor and Father Mark are joined by Father Scott Valentyn where they celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV, share their hopes for this papacy, and Father Mark and Father Scott reminisce about past papal elections...even one that Father Scott was in Rome to witness!

Remember, pray for the Pope!

Haven't been to Rome? Neither has Taylor! But luckily, Father Mark has and on this episode, he breaks down the beauty of Rome and its significance to our Catholic faith.

Who doesn't love talking to a religious sister??

We know you will love our guest this week because we sure did.

Taylor and Father Mark are joined by Sister Maria José, a religious sister belonging to the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary.

Sister Maria shares her beautiful story along with some incredible insights that she learned along the way.

Moving forward!

We said this so many times, we figured it should be the name of the episode, and rightly so!

Our guest for this episode is Candace Gehl, and she reminds us why it is important to be moving forward, but always in hope.

In 1881 a group of mothers in the small Italian village of Lu prayed each Sunday for more vocations to the priesthood and religious life from their own families. By the grace of God, 323 vocations came from this small town because of their prayers!

Taylor and Father Mark are joined this week by Andrea Phillips, a wife, mother, and founder of a group of mothers who take their inspiration from the Mothers of Lu and pray for their own children's vocations.

Andrea shares her own vocation story as well as why this group is so necessary to have. Be sure to reach out to her if you are interested in joining or starting your own Mothers of Lu group!

Pilgrims of hope, offering it up, and Jimmy Carter?? This episode has it all.
Taylor and Father Mark are joined by Father Andrew Kurz, our newly appointed Diocesan Confessor for the Jubilee Year of Hope where we discuss why we take pilgrimages and how to do it during this year.

What is a jubilee year and what does it mean that we are called to be pilgrims of hope?
Bishop Ricken joins Taylor and Father Mark to explain and to show us how we can celebrate in our diocese this year.

The Incarnation of our Blessed Lord is why we celebrate this time of year. But how long do we celebrate and what are some of the reasons that we celebrate for so long? Join Taylor and Father Mark as they dive into Christmas!
