    Mark Zimmaro’s spring sports update

    Mark Zimmaro’s spring sports update

    The spring sports season is in full swing for elementary and high schools across the Diocese of Camden, which means it is time to check in with Catholic Star Herald sports reporter Mark Zimmaro.
     
    Co-hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Bress join forces once again to talk with Mark about team outlooks across various spring sports including baseball, softball, track and field, and boys and girls lacrosse. They also discuss Mark’s ability to balance family – with two children now! – while covering area high school sports, and so much more.
     
    Mark also talks about how he tracks down coaches and athletes before and after games and how discovers the story beyond the stats.

    Diaconate Vocations with Deacon Dean Johnson

    Diaconate Vocations with Deacon Dean Johnson

    It’s another laughter-filled episode of Talking Catholic, as co-hosts Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh welcome a new guest to the show: Deacon Dean Johnson, who serves in Church of the Holy Family, Sewell.
     
    First, Deacon Dean shares what he learned during his time in the diaconate program – both educationally and spiritually. “The more I got to know about the Church, the more I fell in love with her,” he says.
     
    He goes on to share how the diaconate is a way of life – one full of joy, patience, listening and understanding – whether he’s at the altar, teaching in a classroom or jamming on his guitar.
     
    And of course, in-between the vocation talk, Mike and Jen throw some curveballs. Mike asks for some fashion advice, while Jen asks Deacon Dean to read aloud from his recent column in the Catholic Star Herald: https://catholicstarherald.org/a-call-to-diaconate-can-be-a-whisper-or-shout/

    Talking Saints - George of Lydda

    Talking Saints - George of Lydda

    Naming Saint George the Patron of England, King Edward III referred to him as “the most invincible athlete of Christ.”

    This 4th century soldier and martyr, indeed, was strong and untiring in his witness, inspiring others to put their faith in the one true God.

    In the latest Talking Saints, Laurie and Pete remember this his feast day, and share the life of this “dragonslayer” who continues to give courage to all fighting the spiritual battle.
     
    Saint George, patron saint of soldiers, archers, and fencers, pray for us!

    Education Technology with FACTS

    Education Technology with FACTS

    Technology plays a huge role in our everyday lives, including how we choose, and enroll into, Catholic schools. Co-hosts Marianela Nunez and Michael Bress brought in colleagues Robin Parrish and Jeff Stoddard from the education technology company FACTS (https://factsmgt.com) to discuss the impact that technology has had on schools and for inquiring parents.

    Filled with excellent tips, tricks and best practices, the group talked about the latest trends in enrollment, how to construct the best websites for new families, and how to educate your families (new or long-time) on topics like re-enrollment and tuition assistance. The group shared the best ways for families to prepare for the enrollment process, including how to gather all of the necessary documents for a success application.
