Talking Catholic

In the Catholic Church, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day begin the month of November, with the following weeks dedicated to praying for and remembering those who have passed away.

Father Jason Rocks, chancellor for the Diocese of Camden, joins hosts Mike Walsh and Jen Mauro this week to discuss how to let the Church’s saints be true companions in our daily lives and how purgatory is an opportunity for a cleansing of souls in preparation for unification with God. In addition, Father Rocks talks about Catholic burial rites, and why practices such as human composting, the scattering of ashes, and compressing remains into jewelry or other mementos disrespects the body and soul.

Early childhood education, especially at the preschool level, has become increasingly important for families. To that point, the preschool programs across South Jersey Catholic Schools has seen an increase in enrollment. But, how do you pick the right program for your child?

 

On the show this week, hosts Marianela Nunez and Mike Bress were joined by Teresa Casanas, Dual-language Pre-K Leader/Teacher at the Dual Language Pre-K program at St. Anthony’s, and Fern Love, Director at Rosebud Academy, Barrington, to discuss their unique preschool programs.

The deep and enlightening conversation covered each guest’s journey to Catholic education and their respective locations, the value of including faith and religion for the “little guys”, and the overall importance of early childhood education. The group also talks about what separates each school from other preschool programs, including the dual-language program at St. Anthony’s and the transitional kindergarten program at Rosebud Academy.

“Consult not your fears but your hopes and your dreams. Think not about your frustrations, but about your unfulfilled potential.” On today's Talking Saints, hosts Laurie and Pete unpack the life of “Good Pope John.” Having been elected at the age of 76, many thought he would be a transitional pope, but John XXIII's short, yet impactful papacy, proves that we can be God's instruments at any age. Pope St. John XXIII, patron of papal delegates and the Second Vatican Council, pray for us!

“If we are faithful to God, we will lack nothing”

 

Many might know Saint Vincent de Paul as the namesake of a charitable organization that reaches across the globe, but just who was this man, and why is he associated with outreach to the needy? In the latest Talking Saints, hosts Laurie and Pete reveal the faithful witness of this 17th century French Catholic priest, who not only was a friend to the slave, but was influential in founding religious communities and reforming seminary education.

 

Saint Vincent de Paul, patron of prisoners, hospitals, and spiritual help, pray for us!
