Catholic in a Small Town

Show Notes CST#279

Its a show all about Disney… or rather our experience at Disney and the sacramentality of life. So much so, you could say its… magical.

Mac has to go back to work as the Barron's prepare for Disney! Kat watches Empire of the Sun and Mac finds The Wrong Mans. Catholic stuff is a hodgepodge of signs, spiritual credit, and NPR.
