Talking Catholic

This week we welcome on to the show Mark Berchem, founder of NET Ministries and well-known Catholic speaker, to chat about the upcoming Step Up Day for Men and Dads event he is co-presenting with Manuel Huerta. Also joining us are our colleagues from the Diocese of Camden’s pastoral wing, Andrés Arango and Dr. Michael Sims. Our guests showcase what attendees to the free event on March 16th in Vineland will witness and why it’s imperative men make time to focus on their family life.

For the past four years, a seasonal homeless shelter has operated in Atlantic City that is like no other in the history of the resort town. The Saint Joseph Winter Shelter at Quaremba Hall on the campus of Saint Michael Church (the Parish of Saint Monica) in the city’s Ducktown area has been the newest outlet for the charisms of the Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal. Joining us on the show today to discuss the shelter, the amazing work of the volunteers who support it, and the nature of the religious community that infuse the shelter with its unique properties are returning guests Sister Ann Kateri, C.F.R., and Sister Joseph, C.F.R.

To see more about the shelter, check out their behind-the-scenes video at youtube.com/watch?v=VAas5RDBWuM.

It’s Catholic Press Month so we decided to bring in a few heavy hitters, Gretchen Crowe, Editor in Chief of OSV News and Jennifer Brinker, Reporter for the St. Louis Review. These two are media veterans with decades of experience who also sit on the board of directors for the Catholic Media Association, where Gretchen currently serves as president. The duo chat with hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh about their vocation journeys, their desire to find and cultivate the next generation of Catholic journalists, and what the future of Catholic journalism looks like.

We also discuss the Catholic Media Conference and its benefit to the many hard working professionals in this unique industry. To learn more about the conference, being held June 17-21 in Atlanta, check out, https://www.catholicmediaconference.org. Registration opens on March 1.

This week, Jen Mauro and the Diocese of Camden’s Vocations Advisory Board had the pleasure of touring Saint Joseph’s Seminary in Yonkers, NY, also know as Dunwoodie, to learn more about how the school has introduced the propaedeutic stage to their seminarian program. Including a walk through of the great facility, the VOAB group were able to sit down with seminarians currently in this new intense beginning stage of seminary that was only recently rolled out in the United States after the announcement of formation changes by the Vatican a few years ago.

Joining us on the show this week to talk about the stage in depth is Fr. Adam Cichoski, Director of Vocations for the Diocese of Camden.

Your hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh had a busy week, so busy they couldn’t land a guest. However, they didn’t want you to miss out on all the happenings so they decided to do a recap show that included some information on Catholic Press Month, how Catholic Schools Week went, the upcoming Valentine’s Day/Ash Wednesday convergence, the proper way to build a PB&J sandwich, the mystery of saintly relics, and how our humble Catholic Star Herald newspaper has been providing global Catholic news to a small convent in Ireland.

We also tagged this episode with a repeat of the latest Talking Saints podcast, because let’s face it, Laurie and Pete make everything better :)

"Have faith and keep up your courage." 

As Talking Saints kicks off a new year, Laurie and Pete unpack the life of Saint Angela Merici, a 16th century virgin and foundress.  This devout young woman, called by God to establish the Company of St. Ursula, devoted her life to the education of young women and the care of the poor.  On her feast day, may we follow her example in caring for those God has placed in our lives. 

Saint Angela Merici, pray for us!

We start off the New Year with a great chat with three South Jersey Catholic authors - historical novelist Laura Quinn, poet Nicole Rollender, and spiritual resource writer Domenic Scarcella. Each of them have recent publications that either draw on or are focused on the Catholic faith. It’s a great conversation regarding the writing process and what draws them to the art form of the written word.

Learn more about our quests and their works go to www.lauraquinnwrites.com, www.nicolemrollender.com, and Dom Scarcella at goodneighborbadcitizen.substack.com.

You can find all their works on Amazon and wherever publications are sold.
