St. Alberto Hurtado was an unusually gifted man. Like all Jesuits, he followed a lengthy period of intellectual and spiritual formation, and also studied for a European doctorate in education. He involved himself in issues of social policy, trades unions and poverty. He took a keen interest in the life of the Church and wrote articles challenging the bourgeois assumptions of fellow Catholics. He founded a journal, Mensaje, which is still published today. He gave retreats and spiritual direction that changed the lives of countless people. Most enduringly, he worked tirelessly for the poor and marginalized, setting up a charity called Hogar de Cristo, an enterprise which is still a going concern today.How can the teachings of this incredible Saint challenge all of us in our continued pursuit of holiness?  Tune in and find out!

The Renovo Podcast has a single goal: finding the miraculous in the mundane. Started in 2016 and hosted by Doug Tooke, Renovo digs deep into ideas of Catholic teaching and tradition with both clarity and consistency. Covering everything from pews to Relativism, Renovo acts as an engaging source of formation for Catholics who are four rows back and three seats in on any given Sunday.
