On the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, we heard about the 10 lepers who were healed by Jesus, with only one returning. Just like those 9 lepers who didn't return, our world and society is increasingly focused on individualism and self - so what can we do?

Fr. David Hust preached how we, as faith-filled citizens, can bring honor and justice to God, vote with a clear, Catholic, conscience, and do our part to bring order to a disordered world.

And a reminder: if you are struggling with this message or find yourself believing some of these ideologies that were discussed and maybe didn't realize were intrinsically evil - know first and foremost that you are loved. And it’s precisely because you are loved by God and us that we are called to oppose the ideologies, because these ideologies don’t lead to happiness and human flourishing.

Special Guest: Fr. David Hust.

A near-death experience while driving gave Deacon Mike Krall a reminder of how precious the miracle of life really is. On the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time, which was also Respect Life Sunday, Dcn.

Fr. Jesse Garcia preaches on the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time about how the story of the rich man and Lazarus shows how we are called to love our neighbors with the same level that we love ourself, and to avoid sins of omission as well as those of commission.

Annulments in the Catholic Church can be a touchy subject. Between the pain already caused by divorce, mixed with paperwork, witnesses and tribunals, at first glance annulments can seem like they only consist of headaches and hoops to jump through. But dig a little deeper, and there's an incredible opportunity for healing and grace for the Catholic faithful.

After overseeing annulments at our parish for more than three years, Mary Batey has heard a lot of tough stories, shared plenty of tears and worked hard to make annulments at St. Anthony of Padua not just files on a desk or red tape to work through - but a chance for God's mercy to shine and heal.

Mary joins Nate for an inspiring episode of Beyond the Bulletin that you won't want to miss.

The Gospel reading on the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time tells the parable of the Unjust Steward - an often confusing story about wealth, promissory notes and service. Deacon Dominic Madrid preached on Sunday about what we can learn from this unjust steward, what we must focus on to secure salvation, and how the goal of simply "scraping by" will always lead us to fall short in our faith.

There were multiple powerful parables in the Gospel reading on the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time, and Fr. Jesse Garcia preached on how the path of the parable son is very similar to the path we all walk in our faith journey.

On September 7th, 1997, the very first Mass of St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church was held! Hundreds of families squeezed into a high school cafeteria to begin building the foundation of our family of faith. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of this incredible milestone, we held a special edition of Beyond the Bulletin - Live from the Piazza!

Setup at a table outside of Daily Mass, Nate Hoffman and Michael Gormley talked about their favorite memories of St. Anthony, had a variety of special guests join them to chat, and much more. Thanks to all who are a part of our parish family, and thanks to all our listeners of Beyond the Bulletin!
