Everyday Holiness

We talk this week with Fr. Jim Bracke, CSC, Notre Dame Staff Chaplain, and he reflects on his more than 40 years in priestly ministry, his ongoing call to follow Christ in all things, and his outlook on life as he makes a significant transition towards retirement.

This season's first episode shares the journey of Meg Hunter-Kilmer '04, '06 M.T.S., an author, speaker, and itinerant missionary, who describes her understanding of God's radical love and what that has compelled her to do with her life.

Our final episode of the season features Bishop Bill Wack, CSC, as he tells us about his love of family and community, his initial vocation as a Holy Cross priest, and the unexpected call to serve as the bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee.

We continue this season with guest Jessica Keating Floyd '13 M.Div. as she offers stories of struggle, conversion, and faithful discipleship, all while engaging her calling to champion and promote the Gospel of Life.

Meet Patrick and Margaret Manning, who discuss the relationships that have shaped their lives and marriage, the formation that has been central to their ongoing growth in faith, and how they have helped each other during times of loss and in the pursuit of holiness.

In our fourth episode, we join Gloria Purvis for a conversation about her many passions in life and faith, her zeal for living the Gospel at all times, and the challenges that we still face as a society to become united as children of God.

We walk with Will Peterson '14, '16 M.Ed. as he shares his many stories of pilgrimage, including as an educator, a husband, and the founder of a ministry called Modern Catholic Pilgrim.

Dr. Carol Latronica '77, Rector of Welsh Family Hall, provides insight into her life and work in student affairs, describing the intersection of faith, relationships, and sharing life with her students.

Our seventh season opens with Fr. John DeRiso, CSC, as he shares the stories of his life and priestly ministry assignments, including flourishing in parish life, opening a shrine in France, and serving as Director of Vocations for the Congregation of Holy Cross.

We close the season with Fr. Matt Kuczora, CSC, as he details his somewhat surprising discovery of a priestly and religious vocation, his various ministry placements, and his ongoing discernment of where God is calling him now.
