In this episode, we sit down with Pam Schmitz, co-chair of Pax Christi's 12 Baskets Ministry, to reflect on the incredible generosity of our parish community during the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons.

Pam shares the inspiring results of this year's drives and gives us a behind-the-scenes look at how donations move from Pax Christi to the tables of families in need. From the number of meals provided to the partnerships that make it all possible to the Christmas gifts distributed, you'll hear firsthand how your contributions create real, tangible impact in our community.

Join us on Pax Pod as guest Kathy Beckman shares her experience at Pax Christi's Blue Christmas service—a special liturgy for those grieving during the holidays. Kathy reflects on the event's impact and discusses her volunteer work with the Care and Support Ministry, offering insights into how the parish community supports members through difficult times.

Join us on Pax Pod as we welcome back former pastor Fr. Bill Murtaugh for a conversation about preparing for Advent, Christmas memories from his childhood, and—in true Fr. Bill fashion—a few laughs along the way.

Welcome to the very first episode of Pax Pod! As we enter the Advent season, host Natalie Cooper sits down with Fr. Hjalmar, our Parochial Administrator, to talk about Christmas traditions, memories, and what this season means to him. From childhood celebrations to his life as a priest, Fr. Hjalmar shares stories that will warm your heart and help us all prepare for the joy ahead. Perfect listening as you start your Advent journey.
