Talking Catholic

It’s a “two-for-one” special on today’s Talking Saints, as Laurie and Pete explore the lives and examples of Saints Philip and James, apostles and martyrs of Jesus.  Learn why they share a feast on May 3; how Philip’s curiosity led to a crucial Church teaching; and why James is known as “the Less.” 

 

Saints Philip and James, pray for us!

It’s another laughter-filled episode of Talking Catholic, as co-hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh welcome a new guest to the show: Deacon Dean Johnson, who serves in Church of the Holy Family, Sewell.

 

First, Deacon Dean shares what he learned during his time in the diaconate program – both educationally and spiritually. “The more I got to know about the Church, the more I fell in love with her,” he says.

 

He goes on to share how the diaconate is a way of life – one full of joy, patience, listening and understanding – whether he’s at the altar, teaching in a classroom or jamming on his guitar.

 

And of course, in-between the vocation talk, Mike and Jen throw some curveballs. Mike asks for some fashion advice, while Jen asks Deacon Dean to read aloud from his recent column in the Catholic Star Herald: https://catholicstarherald.org/a-call-to-diaconate-can-be-a-whisper-or-shout/

Naming Saint George the Patron of England, King Edward III referred to him as “the most invincible athlete of Christ.”

This 4th century soldier and martyr, indeed, was strong and untiring in his witness, inspiring others to put their faith in the one true God.

In the latest Talking Saints, Laurie and Pete remember this his feast day, and share the life of this “dragonslayer” who continues to give courage to all fighting the spiritual battle.

 

Saint George, patron saint of soldiers, archers, and fencers, pray for us!

Technology plays a huge role in our everyday lives, including how we choose, and enroll into, Catholic schools. Co-hosts Marianela Nunez and Michael Bress brought in colleagues Robin Parrish and Jeff Stoddard from the education technology company FACTS (https://factsmgt.com) to discuss the impact that technology has had on schools and for inquiring parents.

Filled with excellent tips, tricks and best practices, the group talked about the latest trends in enrollment, how to construct the best websites for new families, and how to educate your families (new or long-time) on topics like re-enrollment and tuition assistance. The group shared the best ways for families to prepare for the enrollment process, including how to gather all of the necessary documents for a success application.

Catholic School principals are involved in every aspect of running their school. Recently, we had the opportunity to sit down with three of the newer elementary school principals in the Diocese of Camden – Sr. Santa Theresa, St. Teresa Regional School, Runnemede; Elizabeth Mariani, Sacred Heart School, Camden; and Ramona Bregatta, Our Lady Star of the Sea Regional School, Atlantic City. The trio talked about the journey to their current role, the uniqueness of the job, and the highs and lows since taking the reins. Sr. Santa and Elizabeth also shared a special moment as they discussed their initial relationship as teacher and student to now, colleagues.
