Esta semana aprenderemos acerca del papado. El papado es, sencillamente, el cargo que ocupa el Papa, quien es la cabeza de la Iglesia Católica Romana. El primer Papa de la Iglesia fue San Pedro. Pedro fue uno de los doce discípulos de Jesucristo. Tal vez hayas oído que a San Pedro también se le llamaba Simón. San Pedro y el apóstol Simón son la misma persona.  Jesús designa a Pedro como el primer Papa de la Iglesia Católica. Desde San Pedro hemos tenido 266 papas. Nuestro Papa actual, el Papa León XIV, es el Papa número 267.

We are kicking off the Fall by featuring some very studious saints for the back-to-school season. Join us on Divine Mercy Kids as we talk about the importance of education in your journey to becoming a saint! In this first episode, we will learn about St. Joseph of Cupertino, who dedicated himself to studying to become a priest even though he struggled with academics.

Kids! Your challenge for this week is: Elizabeth Ann Seton had many challenges when she converted to Catholicism. She found strength and peace through Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, “How sweet the presence of Jesus to the longing, harassed soul!” This week, spend time in front of the Blessed Sacrament praying for the teachers in your life. Pray that they may find their strength and peace in Christ, just like Saint Elizabeth Seton.

Welcome to The Hallowed Dead, a new local show, written and produced by our host, Kevin Sullivan!

The Hallowed Dead is an anthology of the lives of the saints. We can all draw wisdom, courage, and inspiration from the lives of people who surrendered everything to God. These men and women embraced sacrifice, endured suffering, and lived with a clarity that comes only from knowing Christ is King. Their stories challenge us. They invite us to look inward, to measure our own lives against eternity, and to remember that everything this world has to offer is nothing compared to the kingdom of heaven.

"We usually have to travel far back in time to meet our saints, but Saint Carlo Acutis feels like a neighbor. There's no historical digging required here. He lived in our modern cities, used our technology, and faced the same world we see outside our windows today. Our story opens on a sunny day in Milan in the mid-1990s. The city is a blur of high fashion, revving Vespas and the frantic pace of Italian businesses. Amidst this, a four-year-old boy with a mop of curly dark hair and bright, inquisitive eyes is tugging at his mother's sleeve. He isn't pulling her toward a toy store or gelato stand, he's pulling her toward the heavy carved wooden doors of a neighborhood church."

En este mes de Agosto estaremos viajando a varias partes del mundo para aprender acerca de cuatro apariciones marianas diferentes. Vamos a viajar Egipto, Vietnam, India y Portugal. Los sitios de las apariciones marianas son simplemente lugares donde María se ha aparecido a los fieles. Hay 16 apariciones marianas aprobadas por el Vaticano. Además de las 16 que el Vaticano ha aprobado, hay cientos de otras apariciones sobre las que el Vaticano todavía no se ha pronunciado ni ha investigado.

Mientras viajamos, vamos a visitar sitios que ya han sido investigados por el Vaticano y algunos que todavía no han sido aprobados oficialmente. Estoy tan emocionada de compartirles la aparición de hoy.  ¡Hoy vamos a viajar hasta Zeitón, en Egipto, para aprender sobre Nuestra Señora de Zeitón! A esta ciudad, ubicada a las afueras de El Cairo, también se le conoce como Zeitún. ¿Sabías que la palabra aceituna viene del árabe zeitún? En este lugar hace bastantes años, había muchos huertos de olivos —que es el árbol de donde salen las aceitunas— y por eso se le llama Zeitún o Zeitón en español.

God calls all of us to seek him, to know him, and to love him with all of our strength, as we learned in catechism. In the New Testament, Jesus gives all of his children a new and maybe highest commandment. that you love one another even as I have loved you. But as men, where do we go from there?

Welcome to Faith Works. Last week, we began our special two-part conversation with Divine Mercy Radio founders Keith and Cecilia Flanary. As we continue this interview and memory of Keith Flanary, we're grateful for the opportunity to hear his own words and reflect on the legacy of faith he helped build. In today's program, Keith and Cecilia share the joys and challenges of leading a Catholic radio apostolate, the countless ways they witness God's providence, and their hopes for the future of Divine Mercy Radio. Their conversation is filled with gratitude, wisdom, and a deep love for Jesus Christ and His Church. May this interview remind us that the Lord continues to work through ordinary people who are willing to say yes to His call, and may Keith's example of faithful service encourage each of us to live our own vocation with courage and trust. Thank you for joining us for part two of our Founder's Story with Keith and Cecilia Flanary.

"The sun rose over Auschwitz on July 30, 1941, without mercy. The camp siren had split the morning air before dawn had fully broken, and thousands of prisoners stumbled from their barracks into the muddy courtyard. They stood in rigid formation, silent, hollow-eyed, starving. The night before, a prisoner had escaped, and under Nazi policy, that meant one thing. Ten men would die in his place.

From within the ranks, from among thousands who knew that stepping out of line meant instant death, one man quietly removed his cap. He stepped forward, not in a panic or desperation, but with calm. His name was Father Maximilian Kolbe, a Polish Franciscan friar."

Episodio 1 - San Carlo Acutis
Muy bien mis amigos, en estas semanas vamos a viajar a Francia, Polonia, Alemania e Italia entre otros, para investigar algunos milagros eucarísticos. Un milagro es algo que ocurre fuera de la ley de la naturaleza, y un milagro no puede explicarse por ningún otro medio mas que por Dios. Los milagros son extraordinarios y sólo son posibles a través de Dios.

Pero antes de comenzar, vamos a conocer a un amigo celestial muy especial, su nombre es Carlo Acutis. 

Carlo creó una página web donde organizaba todos los milagros eucarísticos de la Iglesia Católica. Él sentía un gran amor por Jesús en la Eucaristía, y Carlo quería mostrarnos estos milagros eucarísticos para que nuestra fe pudiera fortalecerse más.

Welcome to The Hallowed Dead, a brand-new local show, written and produced by our newest host, Kevin Sullivan!

The Hallowed Dead is an anthology of the lives of the saints. We can all draw wisdom, courage, and inspiration from the lives of people who surrendered everything to God. These men and women embraced sacrifice, endured suffering, and lived with a clarity that comes only from knowing Christ is King. Their stories challenge us. They invite us to look inward, to measure our own lives against eternity, and to remember that everything this world has to offer is nothing compared to the kingdom of heaven.

In this second episode, Kevin recounts the story of Fatima. The story about three simple children, Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto and the venerable sister Lucia dos Santos, is extraordinary, to say the least. To have an encounter with an angel alone is astonishing. To be entrusted with the message from the Holy Mother herself is beyond comprehension. What was it like to be the poor, faithful children at the turn of the last century, suddenly entrusted with heaven's messages?

He spoke of invisible wars between angels and demons. He was investigated by the Vatican more times than any priest of his century. And he died with crowds outside his monastery, weeping, believing they had seen the face of holiness.

Dr. Kathi Aultman is a physician and former abortion provider whose life and career were transformed through a profound encounter with truth, conscience, and faith. Her journey from participating in abortion to becoming a pro-life advocate speaks not only to the dignity of human life, but also to the depth of God’s mercy and the possibility of redemption.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re looking beyond fleeting romance to the kind of love that endures, sacrifices, and builds something lasting. At a time when marriage and family life are under real strain, the Catholic vision of family — a lifelong marriage rooted in faith and open to life — offers a powerful witness of hope. That’s why stories like Elaine and John’s matter. Married for 53 years, they’ve lived out their commitment through faith, forgiveness, and daily acts of love. Their witness reminds us that strong marriages don’t happen by accident — and that lasting love is not only possible, but worth striving for.

I’m honored to be joined by Kate, a Catholic wife, mother, and mentor whose journey has been shaped by profound love, deep loss, and God’s steady faithfulness. Kate’s story includes walking through grief after the death of her first husband, Tom, while raising their eight children—and discovering along the way how God meets us not by removing suffering, but by accompanying us through it. That journey eventually led her into professional formation with the Catholic Psych Institute and to her work through Mosaic Mentorship, where she now walks with others in a structured, faith-informed process of healing and restoration.

Saints in the Making, our monthly saint segment here on FaithWorks. We'll dive into the lives of saints who inspire us to live with purpose, faith, and love. Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives.

This month, we’re turning our attention to three powerful witnesses in the life of the Church — St. Ambrose, St. John of the Cross, and the celebration of the Holy Family — all of whom we honor in December. From the bold preaching and steady leadership of St. Ambrose, to the mystical depth and profound spiritual insight of St. John of the Cross, and the radiant witness of love within the Feast of the Holy Family, each of these celebrations reveals a distinct facet of what it means to live a life rooted in Christ. They show us that holiness is born in courage, forged in prayer, and lived out in the ordinary rhythms of family and community.

Rob is a local Catholic author and speaker who has a passion for spreading the joy of the Catholic faith through teaching and is a lifelong student of the saints. Together, we’ll unpack their inspiring legacies and offer practical ways to bring the spirit of these saints into your home and heart.

Join Ernie, Matt, Josh, Miguel, and Keith for this inspiring episode focused on preparing our families for the birth of Jesus.

In a lively exchange, the hosts discuss the Advent family traditions they practiced as they grew up and how those experiences helped them draw closer to the Lord during this time of preparation. As they reflect on the prophetic utterances from Micah to John the Baptist, and the infancy narrative of Luke, they explore the importance of boldly professing Christ as Lord in our lives. John the Baptist tells us, "He must increase, but I must decrease."

The virtue of humility is key in this season, and this will help us recognize our pure dependence on Jesus. As fathers, this humility also reminds us of St. Joseph, the quiet and humble father of the Holy Family. Joseph reminds us that men are made to be the servants and protectors of their families.

For this interview, I’m joined by author and speaker Emily Stimpson Chapman to talk about her recent essay, “On Trad Wives, Keyboard Warriors, and Saving the World While Losing Your Soul.”

In this powerful piece, Emily explores how even our best intentions—defending truth, promoting virtue, living out our faith—can go astray when they’re driven more by pride or opposition than by love for Christ.

We discuss what it means to live from love instead of reaction, how to stay centered in Jesus amid online noise, and how to keep our faith grounded in humility and mercy.

My guest is a longtime friend, Barry O'Connell, from Quebec, Canada — a man whose journey of faith led him back to the Church after the tragic loss of his younger sister.

He’s a teacher, a devoted Catholic, and the author of a new book for teens called Jesse — a story of hope, faith, and redemption with a surprising twist.

We’ll talk about his upbringing in Quebec, his return to faith, and what inspired him to write Jesse for today’s young readers.

The last time Dr. McCaffrey was on, we had the privilege of hearing from some incredible warrior moms—Hannah, Nicole, and Patsy—women I like to call street fighters for life. Together, we shared the powerful stories of families who, when faced with life-limiting diagnoses for their unborn children, chose not despair, but radical hope.

Their journeys were not defined by fear or avoidance, but by a courageous love—a love that embraces life, no matter how short or fragile it may be. Dr. McCaffrey also shared his own powerful journey and his passion for speaking truth into the often-misunderstood world of prenatal diagnosis.

Since then, Dr. McCaffrey delivered a compelling presentation at Our Lady of Lourdes that dove even deeper into the ethical, medical, and spiritual challenges in this space.

Through honest conversation and real-life experiences, the hosts explore what it means to live virtuously in today’s world—where challenges, distractions, and struggles can make it difficult to stay the course. Together, they remind us that attaining virtue is not a one-time effort but a lifelong journey.

Whether it’s patience, humility, temperance, or fortitude, Knights Armor calls us to keep striving, keep growing, and never give up on becoming the men God calls us to be. Because true virtue isn’t achieved in a single moment—it’s forged daily through perseverance, prayer, and the grace to begin again.

Suit up and join the conversation—let’s strengthen our armor together.

Saints in the Making, our monthly saint segment here on FaithWorks. We'll dive into the lives of saints who inspire us to live with purpose, faith, and love. Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives.

This month, we’re turning our attention to three powerful witnesses in the life of the Church — all of whom we celebrate in the month of November. From the tireless mission work of Mother Cabrini, to the royal charity of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and the apostolic leadership of St. Clement of Rome — each of these saints shows us what it means to live with courage, compassion, and conviction. Their lives remind us that holiness is not reserved for the few — it’s a call for all of us.

Rob is a local Catholic author and speaker who has a passion for spreading the joy of the Catholic faith through teaching and is a lifelong student of the saints. Together, we’ll unpack their inspiring legacies and offer practical ways to bring the spirit of these saints into your home and heart.

In response to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk—a 31-year-old husband, father, and outspoken man of faith—we’re highlighting an important cultural and spiritual moment. Bishop Joseph Strickland's letter, “When Catholics Look Outside the Church for Heroes,” addresses the deep longing among Catholics for clarity, courage, and conviction in leadership.

To further explore these themes, Dr. Michael Pakaluk joins us to discuss his moving article, “I Was Shot with Charlie Kirk,” offering a personal reflection on faith, martyrdom, and the call to courageous discipleship within the Church today.

It was such a joy to be on-site, surrounded by the people who are living, leading, and loving the mission of Catholic Campus Ministry — or CCM — right here in the heart of Raleigh. I spoke with Fr.

We talked about what CCM is, the impact it’s having on students' lives, and the exciting future ahead now that this new home is part of the ministry.

We’re exploring a topic that is both rich in tradition and deeply relevant to the spiritual challenges we face today: the power of the Rosary, the role of Our Lady, and how Marian devotion helps us navigate these times with faith, peace, and purpose.

Joining us in the studio is Fr. Tim Meares, a devoted pastor, a faithful son of Mary, and a shepherd committed to helping others grow in their relationship with Christ through Our Lady. Fr. Meares brings both pastoral wisdom and theological insight to this conversation as we look at the historical roots of the Rosary, its significance through Marian apparitions like Fatima and Lourdes, and its role as a spiritual weapon in the face of today’s moral and cultural confusion.

From the victories of Lepanto to the personal stories of saints like John Paul II and Padre Pio, today’s episode invites us to rediscover what generations of Catholics have known: that the Rosary is a gift from heaven—and a powerful means of grace for families, parishes, and individual souls.

Join host Dale Dawson on this special episode of the Vocation Voices podcast as he sits down with Austin Faur, a Raleigh native, to discuss his remarkable journey to finding his vocation.

Austin shares his story of growing up in Raleigh, surrounded by strong faith communities at his home parish and Catholic high school. These early influences provided him with solid examples of a life lived in faith. As a typical high school senior, his focus was on college and sports, but a single invitation to a retreat unexpectedly put him on a path to discerning the priesthood.

After four years in the seminary, Austin’s journey took another turn. Following a new retreat experience, he decided to leave the seminary and return to Raleigh, where he began teaching theology. It was an encounter with one of his own students that presented a challenge that would change his life: a commitment to spend one hour a week in adoration.

Don't miss this captivating episode as Austin shares how this simple practice profoundly impacted his life and helped him find his true calling.

Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives.

In this episode of Saints in the Making, we’ll take a closer look at three powerful witnesses: St. John Vianney, the humble priest of Ars who brought thousands back to the faith through confession and prayer; St. Clare of Assisi, who gave up wealth for a life of poverty and devotion to Christ; and St. Maximilian Kolbe, who offered his life in place of another at Auschwitz. Their stories remind us that sainthood isn’t just for a few—it’s a call for all of us.

Rob is a local Catholic author and speaker who has a passion for spreading the joy of the Catholic faith through teaching and is a lifelong student of the saints. Together, we’ll unpack their inspiring legacies and offer practical ways to bring the spirit of these saints into your home and heart.

Saints in the Making, our brand-new monthly segment here on FaithWorks. We'll dive into the lives of saints who inspire us to live with purpose, faith, and love. Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives.

On this episode of Saints in the Making, we’re taking a closer look at three incredible saints who each answered God’s call in radically different ways. St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas More and St. Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus). Their lives remind us that holiness can be lived out in every circumstance — with courage, compassion, and trust.

Rob is a local Catholic author and speaker who has a passion for spreading the joy of the Catholic faith through teaching and is a lifelong student of the saints. Together, we’ll unpack their inspiring legacies and offer practical ways to bring the spirit of these saints into your home and heart.
