In this interview, Wilson discusses why saints matter, his favorite of the saints he’s featured, and why every Catholic should be aiming for sainthood. Are you enjoying this podcast?

"Shining In Spotless Splendor: Consecration To The Immaculate Conception" with Fr. Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC

Many Catholics have heard the term “the Immaculate Conception.” Many also don’t know what it means, or why it matters to them. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, author of Shining in Spotless Splendor: Consecration to the Immaculate Conception, explains that, and discusses how the heart of the founding charism of the Marian Fathers is God’s work of sanctification, of making Our Lady (and, gradually, all her children) immaculate.
