Everyone who gets on fire for missions soon has one big realization: I need help. We need to bring others into the mission to meet the needs of people out there, so inviting others to join us often becomes one of our biggest jobs. This means calling them by name, through a literal call, a text, a conversation... today Ale Briones joins us from Canada to share her experience with inviting others into the mission. 

In this episode Fr Adam Zettel speaks with Kathleen Almon and Fr Gregory Usselmann about how missionaries call others by name. As each missionary has been called by name, they in turn reach out to others by name with mercy, respect and love. 

Listen as Kathleen Almon and Jennifer Malneritch share the incredible experience of being called by God into a missionary community.

For the 2022 Lenten season, we will be reflecting on our Holy Week theme: Called by Name. In this second episode, Kathleen Almon and Emily Roman deepen in the incredible mystery that Jesus calls each of us personally to join Him in mission.
