He served as a consultor for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) Committee on Evangelization for more than a dozen years. He is the author of numerous books on the Catholic faith, with a focus on evangelization and spirituality.

The pandemic, lockdowns, and quarantine caused many to find themselves struggling in different ways, including those in our Catholic Church. Is in person Mass attendance still on decline, or will attendance go back to pre-pandemic levels? On this episode Father Agustino, Solanyi and their Guest Father Paul Shelton, SJ, who is one of the priests selected to travel and preach for the National Eucharistic Revival, will discuss: how the pandemic could have weakened or strengthened family dynamics; if the US Church is having difficulty regaining in person-attendees; and, on a fun note, what it was like experiencing parking lot and virtual Masses.

In this episode Father Agustino and Solanyi are accompanied by Fr. Malachy Napier, CFR. Fr. Napier is a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal (CFR) and one of the many priests selected to travel and preach throughout the National Eucharistic Revival of the Catholic Church in the United States, which began June 2022 on the Feast of Corpus Christi and runs until Pentecost 2025. The three sit down to discuss the humility of God and what St. Francis of Assisi has to tell modern people about Jesus. Listen as they examine questions like: Is there sanctity without suffering? Can we live in joy as St. Francis did, even in the midst of our hurt, confusion, and pain? What are some ways that we too can have or keep a Franciscan spirituality?

Straight from the streets of the Bronx, New York, Franciscan Friar of the Renewal and show host Fr. Agustino Torres and actress/co-host Solanyi Rodriguez are coming to you with ways to live the Catholic faith out loud in today's current cultural context. Revive, launched in partnership with the USCCB's National Eucharistic Revival, tackles real questions from everyday Catholics and those curious about the Catholic faith (La Gente). Due to struggles with the faith, misunderstanding of Catholicism, or a fear of being ridiculed or judged, the questions of La Gente remain unanswered. Their work has shown them that young people want to live their faith authentically -- they want to keep it real -- but they don't want to be "weird". Father and Solanyi show how it is done through conversations with amazing guests on what they do to keep their faith alive and authentic, what they call "revive to keep it alive".  In this first episode, Father Agustino and Solanyi give us an introduction filled with love, humor, stories, and all that we may expect from them and their future episode guests.
