Part four of our series on the Eucharist! Father Joshua Brommer of The Cathedral Parish at St Patrick in Harrisburg shares his experiences of 40 hours devotions.
May is Mental Health Awareness month and today, we're honored to welcome to the program Deacon Ed Shoener, who is a founding member of the Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministries and the Catholic Institute of Mental Health Ministry at the University of San Diego. He serves on the council on Mental Illness of the National Catholic Partnership on Disability and has authored several books on suicide. Along with his family and friends, Deacon Ed founded "The Katie Foundation" after his daughter, Kathleen, died by suicide in 2016. Her obituary went viral because it spoke to the needs and concerns of people who live with mental illness. **If you or someone you know is considering self-harm, please dial 988 for the suicide crisis lifeline.
You are so much more than your external features. God saw the whole world, and saw that it was good, but He also saw it was not complete without YOU in it. Now that sounds great on paper, but in the throws of our human brokenness and negativity, how can we treat this gift God has given us with respect AND remember we are made in His image? How can we strengthen our faith as we strengthen our bodies? Today we’re revisiting an episode with Erin McCole Cupp, author and certified trauma recovery counselor, about aligning our faith with our fitness goals and glorifying God with our bodies.
Starting in September, we’re rolling out a brand new format designed just for you—whether you’re deep in your faith, just coming back, or still searching - We’re talking fresh voices, powerful stories, Saint spotlights, and practical conversations that meet you wherever you are on your journey. So while we revisit some meaningful past episodes this month, know that something exciting, thoughtful, and mission-driven is just around the corner. Today’s encore episode is with Christina Ring, a Nurse Practitioner with Hospice of Central PA, as we talk about the differences between palliative care and hospice care, how we can compassionately care for our loved ones in line with church teachings, and somethings we can do to prepare ourselves for the inevitable.
