Dr. Ahern is author of "Structures of Grace: Catholic Organizations Serving the Global Common Good" and co-editor (with Paulist seminarian Chris Malano) of "God’s Quad: Small Faith Communities on Campus and Beyond."

He is a past president of both the International Movement of Catholic Students (IMCS) and its sister organization, the International Catholic Movement for Intellectual and Cultural Affairs (ICMICA / "Pax Romana.").

Dr. Ahern serves today as co-chair of The Dorothy Day Guild, an organization working for the canonization of Servant of God Dorothy Day.

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Deacons Pod is a podcast for everyone. But, it’s especially created to inspire and give hope to people on the “threshold of faith”: Those who are thinking about going to Church and those who are thinking about leaving Church.

Deacons Pod is hosted by Deacon Tom Casey, Deacon Drew Dickson, and Deacon Dennis Dolan, all permanent deacons who are Paulist Deacon Affiliates. The podcast is a production of the Paulist Fathers.
