In this four-parts in one episode of The Friary, Br. Jay opens up about his unexpected return to Christianity, being an Anglo-Catholic, a Franciscan-in-formation, and yes, still very much himself. From a letter to his closeted, anxious teenage self to the beauty of an ecumenical Pride service, from saints who played practical jokes to a week of both Eucharist and tater tots, this one’s for the spiritual misfits, the holy messes, and everyone trying to follow Jesus with both heart and humor.

Bring your doubts, your sass, and your secondhand cassock. You’re welcome here.
