Father Ben left his congregation in Binghamton, New York, in the cover of night for the smaller, quieter pastures of St. Patrick’s. As our new, young, and at times progressive priest begins to acquiesce to his new surroundings, he finds himself butting heads with the eccentric parishioners who come to him seeking solace and advice. Whether he’s trying to understand Old Margaret’s “usual” confession; parsing out how Tom can better help care for his wife’s pet pig, David; or getting to the bottom of the Christmas Eve Mass Incident, Forgive Me! explores the intertwined lives in Ben’s new community and the funny, sad, and sometimes painful experiences that come out of confession and the Catholic experience.

Hi everyone! I’d like to introduce you to a show I think fans of Sidequesting will really like - Forgive Me! That’s the name of the show, Forgive Me, you don’t need to forgive me for recommending you a show… yeah you get it. 

Forgive Me! is a scripted audio sitcom following the lives of a Catholic priest and his parishioners in a small Upstate New York town. Each episode follows Ben into the confessional with another eccentric parishioner, exploring the intertwined lives of this new community. This show portrays a heartfelt and human story about modern faith that is at times funny, frank, engaging, sad, respectful, and critical of the community it takes place in.  You can find Forgive Me anywhere you listen to podcasts! And now, I invite you to join me in listening to the first episode.
