Catholic Chicago

This month Megan sits down with Vincentian missionary, Fr. Jaroslav Jasso. He is living and working in Madagascar, an island nation just off the southeast coast of the African continent. Megan is glad to welcome Fr. Jaroslav back to Chicago, as he is here making mission appeals again. Fr. Jaroslav explains that climate change has affected the communities who are unable to support themselves without water and fertile land. He describes the hopes and plans of the Vincentians to help people irrigate for fruitful farming, build simple homes for refugees and very simply offer food to starving families.

They explore not only the Eucharistic Theology,  but also the liturgical dynamic of sharing in the Precious Blood and Communion from the chalice.
