Hosts:  Fr. Greg Sakowicz and Mark Teresi.  The mini-series, The Marian Stained Glass Windows, highlights the beautiful windows seen in St. Mary of the Woods Parish in Chicago.  Each window features the Blessed Virgin Mary and were all designed by the world-renowned stained glass artist, Max Ingrand.  This French-born artist has displayed his work all over the world, including the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris.  However, only a handful of his windows are located in the United States.  St. Mary of the Woods is fortunate enough to have some of these amazing works of art.  Guests:  Fr. Rich Jakubik, Clint Cottrell, Michael Jolls, Jesse Healy, Carrie Elko, Anthony "Tony" Kawalkowski

This month Megan met with two religious sisters who are part of the Pan-African Catholic Theology and Pastoral Network (PACTPAN). This is a community of African scholars and pastoral agents who promote, create, curate and celebrate their Catholic intellectual, cultural and spiritual heritage as Africans, while also offering best practices in the pastoral field for a vital Church! Megan sat down with Sr. Leonida Katunge, a Sister of St. Joseph Mombasa in Kenya, who is the Program Director of PACTPAN, and Sr. Titilayo Aduloju, a Sister of St. Michael the Archangel in Nigeria, who has been leading in a research group focused on the Church of Now. 

As Catholic Charities expands its work on the local level, across the six Vicariates of the Archdiocese of Chicago, wonderful stories are emerging of kind and generous people banding together within parishes in support of Catholic Charities and the clients we serve.

David Ryan, Tom Powers, and Mitch Siegel to discuss recent events at St. Francis de Sales Parish in Lake Zurich that have bolstered two vital Catholic Charities programs in Lake County.
