In conversation with CONNY ZANDER

81 year old CONNY ZANDER is an Ann Arbour, Michigan, Glory story. She grew up Lutheran, and became Catholic in the 1990's. She is the founder of OUR LADY OF GRACE bookstore, situated in the 217 acre Catholic megaplex that is Domino's Farms - the international HQ of Domino's Pizza (Domino's founder, Tom Monaghan, is a super-committed Catholic). The history of how the store came to be involves prophetic dreams, divine alignments, and walking by faith and not by sight. It was an absolute joy to hear Conny's story, and an even greater joy to capture it in this podcast. Recorded LIVE in Ann Arbor, Michigan - in Conny's delightful, Jesus-and-Mary-picture-filled living room. ENJOY

LLOYD EIKENLOFF - longest serving sacristan, St Stephen's Cathedral

Lloyd Eikenloff is the longest serving sacristan at St Stephen's Cathedral - the heart of the Archdiocese of Brisbane.   Lloyd was born in 1945, and began serving as an alter boy at the Carmelite monastery at Auchenflower, from the age of 7.   In 1967, while pursuing a career in the public service, Lloyd began serving as sacristan at St Stephen's Cathedral - and he hasn't stopped since.   Upon retiring from the public service, in 1998, Lloyd upped his hours, and commitment, with the Archdiocese.   Lloyd has served with five Archbishops - Duhig, O'Donnell, Rush, Bathersby and Coleridge - and is a familiar face to the many people who regularly visit the Cathedral.   It was an honour to speak with him in this episode.
