Welcome to Vatican Insider on this second weekend of March and the first days of Lent 2025! Challenging times at the Vatican so there’s a lot of news this week but I do have a very uplifting story in the interview segment of VI and my conversation with Deacon Andy Orosco of the diocese of San Bernardino in California.

Andy is a Native American who works in the Native American Ministry in the diocese and tells a fascinating story about his ministry and his people You will also hear from his wife Roseanne as both were in Rome recently for the Jubilee of Deacons.
