Flint Catholic Podcast Fr. Anthony Smela

Today we mark the end of a few things here on the Flint Catholic Podcast. First, this is the end of season 3, and we hope to see you all again in late August or early September. Second, Patrick is leaving the Flint area, and so we say goodbye to Patrick on the podcast. Perhaps we'll do a bonus summer special with the new cohost!

In the episode, we talk about what we've learned this year, how we've grown spiritually, and what our plans are for the summer. There are lots of things going on in the Flint area this summer, here are a few of them.

Today we talk to the author of the new book "How the Saints Shaped
History", Randy Petrides. The book is a history book with the saints as
the protagonists.

How the Saints Shaped History focuses on the essential role of the
saints, as vessels of God's grace, in moving the Church (and the world!)
through her two-thousand-year history. Written especially for everyday
Catholics hungry to learn more about the Faith, this book is both
comprehensive and accessible. It tells the story of how more than 180
saints, from Saint Mary Magdalene to Pope Saint John Paul II, led the
Church through many crises and back to her spiritual roots.

You can buy the book at the different links below.
