    Faith through the  photographer’s lens This week, hosts Mike Walsh and Jen Mauro welcome Tim Hawk to the podcast, where he shares his decades of photojournalist experience and a deeply personal story. Long regarded as an icon in the South Jersey photography community, Tim built a legacy of capturing meaningful moments through his lens before transitioning to his current role as a freelance photographer with the Catholic Star Herald.

On the show, Tim offers an unfiltered look at his career, faith, perseverance, fear, hope and gratitude, and explains how he is writing about his journey on his website, greathawkphoto.com.

    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

    This week, we welcome Sister Nancy Usselmann, FSP, Director of the Pauline Center for Media Studies, a ministry of the Daughters of St. Paul that promotes media mindfulness catechesis for lived discipleship. Sister Nancy shares her vocation story, including how her lifelong love of movies, music and media helped draw her to the Daughters of St. Paul. The conversation explores faith and storytelling, the Church’s presence in popular culture, and why Catholics should engage media with discernment rather than dismissal. From her work reviewing films and interviewing creators in Hollywood, to her reflections on AI, media literacy and Catholic social teaching, Sister Nancy offers a hopeful vision for evangelization in a digital world.

    Fr. Jason Rocks on Magnifica Humanitas

    In this week’s episode, we welcome back fan favorite Father Jason Rocks, Chancellor of the Diocese of Camden and pastor of Holy Eucharist Parish in Cherry Hill, for a thoughtful and wide-ranging conversation on Pope Leo’s encyclical on artificial intelligence, Magnifica Humanitas. Together, they explore how the Church’s long tradition of Catholic social teaching can help guide the use of emerging technologies in a way that protects human dignity, promotes the common good and keeps people, not machines, at the center of progress. Father Rocks reflects on the encyclical’s warnings about isolation, bias, war, education, transhumanism and the temptation to treat technology as an end in itself, while also emphasizing that AI can be a useful tool when used wisely. The conversation also touches on everything from the Tower of Babel and the rebuilding of Jerusalem to The Terminator, Robocop, Star Wars, digital photography, education, human creativity and the importance of slowing down in a world that increasingly prizes speed and efficiency. Listen as the trio consider how Christians can engage AI with hope, caution and responsibility, always asking the deeper question at the heart of the encyclical: Where is humanity going, and how do we make sure technology helps us become more fully human?

    CCUSA's People of Hope Museum

    This week, Talking Catholic welcomes Kevin Brennan, Vice President for Communications at Catholic Charities USA, for a conversation about the new People of Hope Museum, a traveling, interactive exhibit designed to share “faith-filled stories of neighbors helping neighbors.” Housed in a specially outfitted tractor-trailer, the museum brings visitors into the heart of Catholic Charities’ mission through first-person stories from staff and volunteers, a digital poverty simulation, data on poverty in America, and opportunities for visitors to reflect on how they can serve their own neighbors. Kevin shares how the project came together, why Catholic Charities USA chose the format of a mobile museum, and how the exhibit is already inspiring visitors across the country to see both those in need, and those who serve them, with new eyes. The People of Hope Museum will visit the Diocese of Camden June 15-16 at Church of the Incarnation in Mantua, before continuing to Atlantic City June 18-19 during the Catholic Media Conference. The museum is part of a two-and-a-half-year national tour that will continue through June 2028.
