It’s Okay To Be Single
Shout out to everyone who is single. That’s right. And coming from a celibate priest, I need to let you know it will be okay. We can often experience a feeling of not being chosen when living a single life. We can often feel as if, I guess, I’m just not worth it. There’s something wrong with me.

Black and Catholic
Our documentary sheds light on one story of the Black Catholic experience, unknown to many in our church. An undertaking that, although unique, is relatable to the Black Catholic (specifically African-American Catholic) throughout America. This film highlights the joy, pain, and struggles faced in the Black Catholic community, specifically in the Tremé portion of New Orleans, Louisiana. Through a series of interviews, the unique struggle found in youth and young adult ministry within the Black Catholic community is brought to the forefront. Whether through “America’s Original Sin”, classism, or various other social ills; we are witnessing this unique expression of our Catholic faith disappearing before our eyes.

Freed by the Cross
How can the wounds of Jesus on the cross set us free? Could the cross be more than a symbol—an exorcism, a place of absolute freedom and healing? His open heart invites us to lay down our disordered loves and be delivered from the false attachments that enslave us. Could the cross be where we find freedom, not just from sin, but from the Egypt still within us? This is the freedom Jesus…
The Fullness of God
Can we let God be the one who provides, who carries us, who fills us with His presence and love? This week, the friars reflect on the heart of the Jubilee rest. Proper rest isn’t just doing less or stopping work—it’s a radical shift in mindset and posture from striving to receiving. The invitation is clear—come home to the Father and let Him be enough. This podcast episode invites you into the deep rest your…
