Ask A Priest Live

"Ask A Priest Live," because Father knows best! We'll bring you a different priest each weekday at 12pm Eastern time, where you'll be able to participate in a live Q&A on the topics that matter! We'll be joined by priests and canons from the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter, the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, and even some Diocesan priests that you may know personally! To ask your question, call 1-877-511-5483 or email us at priests@thestationofthecross.com
