The month of May can be a busy one - graduations, upcoming summer trips, you name it. But May has a much more important tradition that we should all be aware of: it's the month of Mary!

The tradition of dedicating the month of May to Mary goes back to the 13th century, so Nate and Gomer are here to tell you all about how we can spend the month of May living in a Marian way. Do Catholics worship Mary? Heck no. Is Mary worthy of imitation? Most definitely.

Tune into this rambunctious conversation between our two great Paduan podcasters to learn valuable insights that will help you make this May full of beauty, devotion, and faith.

For years, St. Anthony of Padua has sent a large group of missionaries over to Honduras to bring help, hope, and love to a number of villages in need. One of the poorest countries in the world, the need is great, but our parish's response and action, has been inspiring.

Nate is joined for Episode 34 by Leon & Michelle Rieger, two parishioners who have joined the mission trip multiple times, to talk about the Honduras mission trip, ahead of this weekend's second collection and taco sale. Tune in to hear about how they got involved, the work that is done down there, and their varying emotions when returning to The Woodlands after serving in a third-world country.

Do you remember your first confession? Nervously waiting your turn to mumble your sins of pushing your sibling and stealing candy, before fumbling your way through the Act of Contrition? Good times, good times.

Whether that was the last time you received the sacrament of Reconcilation, or whether you go every week, this is a podcast you don't want to miss! Lent is a great time to hit the confessional, but before you get in line, there's plenty you can do beforehand. Nate and Gomer are here to dive into the tips of making a great confession as well as answer some big questions you might have -- is complaining a sin? What's mortal and what's venial? How many venial sins equal one mortal one? Is temptation itself a sin?

With a few weeks of Lent remaining, listen through this podcast and then go receive God's grace in the confessional - you won't regret it!
