On this week’s show, we welcome a couple of new friends who are making their first trek to our radio/podcast studio. These two gentlemen are not only recently ordained deacons in the Diocese of Orange (class of ’23) but also dear friends. Deacon Pete Morales has a military and business background, and Deacon Joseph Seminara was a police officer who served for many years in all facets of law enforcement. 

Both men find their greatest joy in service of the church and its people. 

A great quote from this podcast: “Being a deacon, it’s a 5-year training program for the hardest volunteer job you’ll ever do.”

Many people today, particularly the young, are embarrassed by the Church's moral teaching. For them, it is only an outdated expression of hatred or disgust. Yet nothing could be further from the truth. Sin is what degrades man and kills his joy, and a moral life is a life of love. Jesus said, "The truth will set you free."
