We’re kicking off the new year with a familiar face! This week, we’re thrilled to welcome back our good friend Fr. Andrew Fritz, C.S.C., now serving as the Associate Director of Vocations at the University of Notre Dame.

We catch up on all the new thangs—from Fr. Andrew’s new role, to Esme getting married, to reflecting on everything 2025 held. Plus, we look ahead to 2026 and share how we’re choosing our word of the year. Happy New Year, friends and many blessings to you and your families!
