Welcome to another episode of Orange County Catholic Radio, featuring host Rick Howick. On this week’s show, we welcome a couple of new friends who are making their first trek to our radio/podcast studio. These two gentlemen are not only recently ordained deacons in the Diocese of Orange (class of ’23) but also dear friends. Deacon Pete Morales has a military and business background, and Deacon Joseph Seminara was a police officer who served for many years in all facets of law enforcement. 
Both men find their greatest joy in service of the church and its people. 
A great quote from this podcast: “Being a deacon, it’s a 5-year training program for the hardest volunteer job you’ll ever do.”

She was with us about a year ago, and today we get to catch up on all the goings-on at the Life Center of Santa Ana (where she serves as the Director and Client Advocate). 
Today we’ll hear about an amazing project that came about through the USCCB called the “Walking with Moms Initiative,” formerly known as Pennies from Heaven. Megan shares that this initiative is really taking off in many parishes within the Diocese and the fruits of the Holy Spirit have been very apparent!

Host Rick Howick interviews guests on a variety of topics. On today’s show, Rick welcomes Matt Garvey to the studio. Matt is a lay evangelist living in OC and he works with Irvine-based Spirit Filled Hearts Ministry. He collaborates with the ministry's Dunamis group, with a special focus on young adult ministry.  He also hosts a podcast called “The Journey,” which focuses on issues facing young adult Catholics and enables them to share their powerful personal testimonies of faith. This episode of OC Catholic Radio brings together two highly educated spiritual and intellectual dynamos. But through it all, it’s about brokenness, grace, and God’s supernatural love.

Host Rick Howick interviews guests on a variety of topics. On today’s show, Rick welcomes Daniella Aquino to the studio.
