    Season 5, Episode 1 with Lisa Cooper

    We begin 2025 with a discussion between Lisa Cooper and me. I got to know Lisa because we sing in the choir together. Her father, Don, and I sat next to each other for years and became friends. For over 30 years she worked, mostly behind the scenes, at Capital Public Radio. I hope you are as blessed as I have been as you listen to her journey of faith.

    Episode 6 with the Cathedral Stream Team

    We did an episode with the Stream Team during our first season (episodes 7 & 8). Since there are new members, we thought it was time to chat with them again. The Stream Team is the people who make our Mass Livestream happen. This time I am chatting with 5 of the team members, 3 were not able to attend. They are Elizabeth, Titi, Mary, Shauna (I hope I spelled her name correctly), and Santana. Let’s Talk Parish is co-produced by Rex Rallanka, Titi Kila, and Chris Jensen.

    Episode 5 with Sergio Castillo

    I met Sergio a year or so ago when he began his Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults journey. He would find my offbeat humor funny, and we became friends. But, as it normally goes, we rarely had a chance to really share our lives. Sergio teaches at Christian Brothers High School, and is an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. He also coaches Volleyball, but we didn’t get to talk much about that. Let’s Talk Parish is co-produced by Rex Rallanka, Titi Kila, and Chris Jensen.
