    Andrew Stetser walks The Camino

    Gloucester Catholic High School teacher Andrew Stetser recently took on an unforgettable challenge: completing the Camino de Santiago in Spain.  What began as a 500-mile pilgrimage on foot became an experience filled with physical challenges, spiritual growth, breathtaking scenery — and plenty of time for reflection.  On this week’s Talking Catholic, Andrew talks about his monthlong journey with co-hosts Mike Bress and Jen Mauro.  Hear Andrew share what inspired him to make the pilgrimage and what it was like to walk the Camino in 100-degree-plus heat day after day. It’s a story that goes beyond the miles and destinations — and becomes a lesson in perseverance, faith, community, and slowing down to appreciate life's  journey.  Listen to Talking Catholic everywhere podcasts can be found, at https://talking.catholicstarherald.org/talking-catholic, or catch us on Domestic Church Media radio (https://domesticchurchmedia.org) Sundays at 11 AM or Mondays at 4 PM.

    Allison Gingras on Venerable Father Peyton and the Rosary

    This week, hosts Mike Walsh and Kari Janisse welcome Allison Gingras of Holy Cross Family Ministries for a joyful conversation about Venerable Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., known around the world as “The Rosary Priest,” and his enduring message that “the family that prays together stays together.” Allison shares Father Peyton’s remarkable story, from his Irish roots and call to the priesthood to his healing through the intercession of the Blessed Mother and his bold use of radio, film and media to invite families into prayer. She also discusses the ongoing work of Holy Cross Family Ministries, its mission to support families in faith, and the importance of making the Rosary approachable, especially for those who may feel intimidated by family prayer. The conversation also turns personal, as Allison reflects on her own advocacy for the family Rosary and offers gentle encouragement for families to begin where they are. Whether that means a full Rosary, a single decade, grace before meals or simply one small movement toward God, she reminds listeners that prayer does not have to be perfect to be powerful.

    Vigilare: Keeping Watch with Young Adults

    Young adults across the Diocese of Camden are seeking faith, community, truth and a place to ask real questions. In this episode, Mike Walsh and co-host Kari Janisse welcome Father Allain Caparas, Father Peter Gallagher, and seminarian Theo Deluhery for a conversation about a new diocesan young adult initiative designed to meet that moment. The initiative, called Vigilare, will launch with a special event on Saturday, July 18, from 7-9 p.m. at Mary, Mother of Mercy Parish’s Our Lady of Lourdes Church Campus in Glassboro. The evening will include a Holy Hour, music, Night Prayer, opportunities for confession, food and social time for young adults ages 18-35. The group discusses why so many young adults are showing renewed interest in the Catholic faith, the importance of in-person community in a digital world, and the need for spaces where young people can encounter Christ, build real friendships and ask honest questions without fear.  Listen to Talking Catholic everywhere podcasts can be found, at https://talking.catholicstarherald.org/talking-catholic, or catch us on Domestic Church Media radio (https://domesticchurchmedia.org) Sundays at 11 AM or Mondays at 4 PM Follow us using our @TalkingCatholic handle on Facebook | Instagram | TikTok | X
