September 11, 2020 The Holy Catholic Brew S2E5: Vocational Series #5 – Diocesan Priesthood and the Episcopate, with Thomas Cardinal Collins
Lay Catholics don’t get to see their bishop very often but I remember when I was growing up, I had always admired my bishop like a familiar father figure but simultaneously felt like he was high above my level. This episode is the fifth of my vocational series, where I ask my guests to pick a song relating to their vocational discernment and to answer these seven simple questions:
1. Please introduce yourself and how we got to know each other.
2. Explain your song of choice and how it relates to your discernment.
3. Please explain your vocation in general and what it means to you.
4. How did you discern your vocation in general? Were there any challenges?
5. Why did you pursue your vocation with this diocese/order/person in particular?
6. How has your faith changed since entering this vocation?
7. If you could advise your 18-year-old self about your vocation, what would you say?
One day, I emailed the Archdiocese of Toronto and was absolutely delighted when I got to interview the only bishop I ever remembered having … Thomas Cardinal Collins! Cardinal Collins is a man of deep faith and wisdom and has always felt a strong connection with his priests and bishops. From his high school teacher Fr. John Newstead to the bishops of his home Diocese of Hamilton—Bishop Lloyd Ryan, Bishop Paul Reding, and Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Tonnos—and his bishop in London, John Sherlock. Cardinal Collins was ordained to the priesthood in the Diocese of Hamilton before being appointed rector of the seminary in London (Ontario), consecrated Bishop of St. Paul (Alberta), Bishop of Edmonton, and finally Archbishop of Toronto. I was surprised by how Cardinal Collins discerned his call to the priesthood and found his assessment of the times and his term as bishop to be very insightful. During COVID-19, the Archdiocese is live-streaming daily and Sunday Masses. You can find their website at https://www.archtoronto.org/.
The song you heard in the intro was “Wayfaring Stranger”, by The Quebe Sisters and the song Cardinal Collins chose was the “O God Beyond All Praising”, as performed here by the Villanova Pastoral Musicians.

July 24, 2020 The Holy Catholic Brew S2E4: Vocational Series #4 – Diocesan and Religious Priesthood, with Fr. Peter Turrone
You might think that God calls men to become His priests in the same way. But no two vocational stories are ever exactly the same. Were they devout as children? Did they always want to become a priest? Did they ever desire another vocation? Did their peers and family support or dissuade them? You generally don’t get to ask your parish priest these sorts of questions, so let me ask one for you. This episode is the fourth of my vocational series, where I ask my guests to pick a song relating to their vocational discernment and to answer these seven simple questions:
1. Please introduce yourself and how we got to know each other.
2. Explain your song of choice and how it relates to your discernment.
3. Please explain your vocation in general and what it means to you.
4. How did you discern your vocation in general? Were there any challenges?
5. Why did you pursue your vocation with this diocese/order/person in particular?
6. How has your faith changed since entering this vocation?
7. If you could advise your 18-year-old self about your vocation, what would you say?
I am really excited about this episode because I get to chat with Fr. Peter Turrone whom I know from my time at the Newman Centre, the Catholic chaplaincy at the University of Toronto. Currently the Pastor and Executive Director there, he grew up Catholic but did not take ownership of his faith until a Confirmation retreat experience drew him to a personal encounter with Christ. After his undergraduate studies at York University, he later earned his neuroscience doctorate at the University of Toronto, where he was active at the Newman Centre. At first, he was ordained a priest in the Consolata Missionaries and sent to proclaim the Gospel in Mongolia. For health reasons, he was then incardinated a priest in the Archdiocese of Toronto and then transferred to the Newman Centre chaplaincy. You can learn more from their website at www.newmantoronto.com.

The song you heard in the intro was “Wayfaring Stranger”, by The Quebe Sisters and the song Fr. Peter Turrone chose was “What a Beautiful Name”, by Hillsong Worship.

July 20, 2020 The Holy Catholic Brew S2E3: Vocational Series #3 – Religious Sisterhood, with Sr. Mary Grace
Nowadays, the average Catholic doesn’t get to see many nuns.

July 13, 2020 The Holy Catholic Brew S2E2 – Vocational Series #2 – Permanent Diaconate, with Deacon mark Neugebauer Vocational Series #2 – Permanent Diaconate, with Deacon mark Neugebauer
Deacons have always been a mystery to me – they are married and sometimes have secular jobs outside of their work in the parish but they also help out with a lot of church duties, and even give homilies. Are they closer to lay people or consecrated religious? This episode is the second of my vocational series, where I ask my guests to pick a song relating to their vocational discernment and to answer these seven simple questions:
1. Please introduce yourself and how we got to know each other.
2. Explain your song of choice and how it relates to your discernment.
3. Please explain your vocation in general and what it means to you.
4. How did you discern your vocation in general? Were there any challenges?
5. Why did you pursue your vocation with this diocese/order/person in particular?
6. How has your faith changed since entering this vocation?
7. If you could advise your 18-year-old self about your vocation, what would you say?
Listen to me chat with Deacon Mark Neugebauer, whose epic faith journey has included stops at Conservative Judaism, Messianic Judaism, and Evangelical Protestantism on his way home in the Catholic Church. He is currently the Deacon at Blessed Trinity Parish in the Archdiocese of Toronto and formerly worked as an elementary school teacher before being recommended by his parish to become a permanent deacon.
The song you heard in the intro was “Wayfaring Stranger”, by The Quebe Sisters and the song Deacon Mark picked was the hymn “It Is Well With My Soul” (I picked the version by Anthem Lights).

Husband, Wife, Monk, Friar, Sister, Father, and … Consecrated Virgin? If you’re like me, you have never heard of Consecrated Virginity before as a vocation in the Catholic Church.

May 23, 2019 The Holy Catholic Brew S1E11 – Ohana means Family. Family means …
Nobody gets left behind or forgotten. We can’t pick our families and neither can our families pick us, but we learn our most important life lessons within the context of our families: the way we approach work, the way we find meaning in our experiences, the way we look for love, even the way we see God. This episode, Lyndon shares some personal stories about the way his family has affected his life and faith. It will also be the last episode of the first season of The Holy Catholic Brew and when we resume with the second season, we will be featuring some guest interviews to chat about the way their vocations have shaped their faith. Thank you all for tuning in and see you soon!
The song you heard in the intro and outro was “Roll Away Your Stone” and “Awake My Soul”, both by Mumford and Sons, and the song in the middle was “Childhood Goodbye” by Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear; the transition music was by Podington Bear.

May 06, 2019 The Holy Catholic Brew S1E10 – Fruit, Glorious Fruit!
It’s Eastertide (or Easter Season, Easter Time, whatever you prefer) already, and now we are entering the 50-day waiting period for the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. If you’re like me, Pentecost is just the time when the Holy Spirit lands on the Apostles as FIRE! Pretty cool, but what significance does it have to you and me when we don’t see awesome stuff like that happen to us? In this episode, Lyndon reflects on the theme of fruits in the Old and New Testaments, how that relates to the Mosaic Law, the ancient Jewish practice of offering first-fruits, and links it to Pentecost. Sit back, relax, and enjoy some fruits as you listen to this podcast … it’ll be a long one.
The song you heard in the intro and outro was “Roll Away Your Stone” and “Awake My Soul”, both by Mumford and Sons, the themed song today was “The Fruit of the Spirit”, by Uncle Charlie; the transition music was by Podington Bear and the music for the Scriptural readings was by Michael Levy.

April 29, 2019 The Holy Catholic Brew S1E9 – Pass Over The Passion
Holy Week and Easter are already upon us … can you believe Lent is over already? In this episode, Lyndon explains (very excitedly) some stuff that he’s read about (accuracy is not guaranteed) the Old Testament and the often overlooked connections to Jesus, His Passion, and Resurrection. We’ve often heard of Jesus of Nazareth being a Jew, but how does the Jewish experience change the way we should view and worship “The King of the Jews”? If you have the focus to sit through this (admittedly rather dense) episode, you’ll hear about the Exodus from Egypt, the Passover meal, the Eucharist, and what Jesus rising from the dead means for us today.
The song you heard in the intro and outro was “Roll Away Your Stone” and “Awake My Soul”, both by Mumford and Sons, and the song in the middle was “Ma Nishtana” by Micha Gamerman; the transition music was by Broken Elegance.

April 22, 2019 The Holy Catholic Brew S1E8 – Beyond the Retreat High
In this episode, Lyndon and Jeremy chat about retreats! We talk about what the purpose of a retreat is, what kinds there are, and share some personal stories about how retreats have shaped our faith lives and the things that we’ve struggled with. We also chat about the “retreat high” that a lot of Catholic youths mistakenly desire from retreats and which we argue is the wrong mindset to have. Why? Well, listen to our episode and find out!
The song you heard in the intro and outro was “Roll Away Your Stone” and “Awake My Soul”, both by Mumford and Sons, and the song in the middle was “Train to Nowhere” by Savoy Brown; the transition music was by Broke for Free.
