Practicing Catholic Show

How do our eastern Rite sisters and brothers observe Lent and Easter? Chorbishop Sharbel Maroun of St. Maron Catholic Church - Minneapolis, MN will tell us, and give us an update on his parish.

Fr. John Ubel provides a preview of the rare baseball card auction whose proceeds will benefit Catholic schools around the Twin Cities through the Aim Higher Foundation.

Fr. Ubel shares about the origins of some of the rare cards in his collection, joyful almsgiving, and his love for Catholic education.

Archbishop Bernard Hebda sits down with Maria Wiering, editor-in-Chief of The Catholic Spirit, to look back at how and why difficult decisions were made this past year due to COVID-19.

In this interview, Archbishop Hebda describes the weighty decision to suspend public Masses in March 2020, and his concerns about how that decision – and the ongoing dispensation – might impact the souls of the faithful he shepherds. The Archbishop also reveals the decision-making process for discerning when to, at some point, reinstate the Sunday obligation.
