This summer, we are celebrating 25 years of Café Catholica - our annual young adult summer series! Listen as Fr. Sean Horrigan and Vivian Ramos, two members of the team that helped to launch Café Catholica 25 years ago, reminisce about the beginnings of this annual event and why they still encourage young adults to attend today.
The Café Catholica summer series is open to all young adults (ages 18-39) and features dynamic...
Most of us are familiar with the Corporal Works of Mercy, but the instruction to visit those in prison can be a challenge to many Catholics. Maybe we are held back by fear or intimidation or perhaps we don't know how to help or where to start.
Today I'm joined by Scott Underwood, Associate Director with the Office of Correctional Ministries for the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, Trey Mirenda, a Catholic chapla...

Almost two years ago, with their decision in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade and officially overturned the constitutional right to an abortion in the United States.

Today we are joined by Julie Duma...

"We are an Easter people, and alleluia is our song!"
Happy Easter! As Catholics, we will celebrate the season of Easter for 50 days until Pentecost. But what does it mean to be an Easter people? How do we maintain that joy long after the decorations are put away and all the Easter candy has been eaten?
Fr. Richard Hinkley from St. Mary's Seminary joins us to talk about how can truly live our lives ...
We have entered Holy Week, and this Thursday evening, we will leave the season of Lent and enter into the Sacred Paschal Triduum, which begins with the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday, reaches its high point in the Easter Vigil, and closes with Evening Prayer on Easter Sunday.
These three days mark the summit of our liturgical year as we recall the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Several months ago, the Archdiocese welcomed the Courage and EnCourage apostolates to our list of ministries. The Courage apostolate is the Church’s invitation to people who experience same-sex attractions, who desire to live in accord with the Gospel call to chastity. A confidential support group led by a priest chaplain, Courage accompanies men and women along the road to integration, freedom, and discipleship. United by friendsh...
A 2018 study on young adults leaving the Catholic Church conducted by St. Mary’s Press found people stopped identifying as Catholics at a median age of 13, long before they ceased attending a parish. That’s around the 7th or 8th grade.
So today, I’m going to be talking with Randy Adams, associate director in the Office of Adolescent Catechesis and Evangelization, and Cindy Martin, who is the Jr. High Youth Minister at St. Laurence C...
