Hear an amazing story from Ed Sr. & Ed Jr. Reinhardt. Former University of Colorado football star, Ed Reinhardt Jr. suffered a near-fatal brain injury during a game against the Oregon Ducks in Sept. 1984. He was in a coma for 62 days. Doctors called his survival a miracle. Throughout his years of recovery, Ed developed an inspirational singing talent and brings a message of hope to audiences across the country. Ed travels with his father, Ed Sr. who speaks about how his son's journey has helped him strengthen his faith, forgive, and rebuild a broken relationship with his own father and solidify the bond between Ed, himself and the rest of the family.

Fr. Alex was working as a doctor in sleep medicine in his late 30s when he heard the call to something more... Through the Blessed Mother's intercession and quiet moments of listening in daily prayer, he discovered God's call for him. On May 26, 2018 he was ordained a priest. Fr. Alex shared with the women of the parish his personal story and inspiring us all to lives Grounded in Prayer and Mission.

Brian Cannon & Adam Stein sat down (after quite a long pause) for the fourth episode of our new "Ask a Father" podcast. At St. Patrick, we seek to know, love, and serve God more as Christian Disciples in Mission who are Living Beyond Sunday. For many men, fatherhood is an identity that helps them live this mission out. This podcast is for them... We talk about Fatherhood, in all its forms (Dad, step-dad, foster dad, priests, and all those who in any way act as father those around them). -- Please enjoy this episode and if you would like to join the conversation, email Brian at [email protected]

Sheila Howe shared with the women of our parish her life & faith.
