Episode #4865 Regrouping After a Break

Father Anthony with Tony and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father greets everyone and the group catches up as Father shares his recent experiences while on his break and touches on recent events in the church.  This leads to a chat on the reality of the church, what it is, the beauty of it and what is expected of us, living a sacrificial life as God calls us to do.  After a break father leads us in prayer.  After prayer, Father takes us back to the Sunday gospel reading and elaborates on it to offer the true significance of it to our faith.  He discusses the celebration of the country’s 250th anniversary and sadly references the polarization in our country and church reminding us that God calls us to focus on Him, to endure and overcome to turn to solace of inner peace centering around God so the Church and the country can be restored, surviving by leaning into Jesus.

Episode #4863 Father Koys on the Founding of the USA

Father Koys takes us on another “brain wrinkling” walk as his mind turns to the Fourth of July.  He sees necessary the need to talk about the United States of America, to talk about what the Catholic faith means to America, to talk about what Christians coming together can accomplish. He recognizes the true need for Christians to actually come together to save our country, pointing out that Christians coming together itself is a catholic thought-it’s what Catholicism is all about. Father Koys being the history buff that he is, revels on the fascinating details from the past as he takes us on the journey back in time to discuss and shed light on some of the Catholic contributions of figures in the revolutionary war, with a particular focus on Charles Carrol of Carrollton who was elected on of the four delegates from Maryland to attend the 2nd Continental Congress and the only catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence.  Join him on this deep dive into history as we celebrate the 250th Anniversary of our Nation. Enjoy a safe and happy Fourth of July.   St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish [https://ststanschurch.org/]
