In this powerful new episode of Catholic Conversations, Fr. Peter sits down with lifelong parishioner Samantha Frontario to explore faith, prayer, and vocation in today’s world. Samantha has been part of the parish since birth, singing in the choir since childhood, and is now preparing for marriage in the Church while navigating the demanding life of a medical student. Together, they reflect on her personal journey of faith and the real challenges of remaining authentically Catholic while working in the medical field.

The conversation also dives into the next installment of the Lenten message series I Thirst, focusing on prayer. Many Catholics hope prayer will feel like the Transfiguration—a mountaintop experience—but in reality, prayer is often quiet, dry, and rooted in perseverance. Samantha shares honestly about her own prayer life, daily discipline, and how tools like the Hallow app help her stay grounded in Christ.

This episode is a must-watch for Catholics seeking deeper prayer, vocational clarity, and encouragement to live the faith faithfully in modern life.
