Bo Bonner interviews one of the newest priests in Iowa, Father Thomas Kollasch of the Diocese of Sioux City, ordained June 27, 2026. Becoming a Priest After Six-Plus Years of Formation — Fr. Kollasch describes the surreal, fulfilling experience of finally celebrating Mass and hearing confessions after years of anticipation. Small Town to Rome and Back — From Bancroft, Iowa, to the Pontifical North American College in Rome, he shares the "double culture shock" of formation abroad, how it broadened his appreciation for the universal Church, and his first Mass back home June 28 at his home parish. An Ordination Is Never Just About One Person — With his godfather and godmother proclaiming the readings, Fr. Kollasch saw people from every stage of his life — Bancroft, Bishop Garrigan High School in Algona, the University of Iowa, Winona, and Rome — gathered at his ordination. Serving Alongside a New Bishop — As the second diocesan priest ordained by Bishop John E. Keehner, he describes the closeness of beginning his priesthood as the bishop begins his episcopal ministry. How You Can Foster Vocations * Live and encourage a life of daily prayer — the key moment in his own discernment at the Newman Catholic Student Center in Iowa City * Support university campus ministries, where many vocations are emerging (including through FOCUS missionaries — learn more at focus.org [https://www.focus.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show]) * Pray the St. Francis prayer ("Lord, make me an instrument of your peace") for new priests The interview closes with Fr.

The Catholic Morning Show – 07/08/2026

It's Wednesday of the Fourteenth Week of Ordinary Time, and host Bo Bonner is joined by Alexia Baker, Ayden Pugh, and Brady Grimm for a full morning of Catholic news, faith, and conversation on Iowa Catholic Radio. Summer Curiosity & Evangelization – John Gaffney John Gaffney, Team Director for Adult Evangelization and Leadership Formation for the Diocese of Des Moines, shares how the relaxed rhythms of summer — picnics, ball games, vacations, family gatherings — open hearts to curiosity about God. He offers three practical ways to accompany someone curious about the Catholic faith: invite them to Mass, grab coffee and answer their questions, and connect them with your pastor or deacon. Newly Ordained: Father Thomas Kollasch Father Thomas Kollasch, originally of Divine Mercy Parish in Bancroft, Iowa, was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Sioux City on June 27 at the Cathedral of the Epiphany by Bishop John E. Keehner. He shares what it's like to celebrate Mass and hear confessions for the first time, his formation journey from the University of Iowa and Winona, Minnesota, to the Pontifical North American College in Rome, and how listeners can foster vocations — including praying the St. Francis prayer for new priests. Also on Today's Show * Saint of the Day: St. Kilian, missionary bishop and martyr, patron of Würzburg, Germany * Gospel Reflection: Fr. Nick Smith, pastor of St. Patrick's in Perry, on Matthew 10 and the calling of the Twelve Apostles * Sunday Dive Preview: Katie Patrizio on Matthew 13:1–23 and why Jesus taught in parables — listen live Wednesdays at 8 AM or anytime at SundayDive.com [https://sundaydive.com/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] * Deacon Mark Campbell reflects on nearly eight years of diaconal ministry and why everyone should attend an ordination Upcoming Events * Growing the Faith Tour with Dr. Karlo Broussard (Catholic Answers apologist) — three free evenings of talks starting at 6:30 PM: July 21 at Sacred Heart Parish, Spencer; July 22 at Holy Spirit Parish, Creston; July 23 at St. Mary's, Pella.

Summer Curiosity: How Vacation Season Opens the Door to Evangelization – John Gaffney – 07/08/2026

John Gaffney joins Bo Bonner for his monthly evangelization conversation on The Catholic Morning Show, this time exploring "Curiosity in the Summer Sun: How Summer Opens the Door for Evangelization." Curiosity as the Holy Spirit's Stirring — Whether it's a day trip to the Grotto, a domestic vacation, or a pilgrimage abroad, curiosity moves us — and Gaffney says that same curiosity about the person next to you at a summer picnic is the Holy Spirit at work. People Let Their Guard Down in Summer — Relaxed gatherings create openings where people share what's on their hearts. Be approachable, joyful, and ready to share your own story — but ask permission first, and never co-opt someone else's story. Three Ways to Accompany a Seeker 1. Invite them to Mass — "come and see how we worship," sit together, and talk afterward about the Eucharist 2. Grab coffee and invite them to bring every question they have 3. Connect them with your pastor or deacon — deacons especially serve as bridge people between everyday life and the Church Learn more about evangelization efforts in the Diocese of Des Moines at dmdiocese.org [https://www.dmdiocese.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] Hear more conversations like this weekdays at 7 AM Central on The Catholic Morning Show at IowaCatholicRadio.com [https://iowacatholicradio.com/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] #Evangelization #CatholicFaith #SummerFaith #CatholicPodcast #DioceseOfDesMoines #ShareTheGospel #CatholicRadio #IowaCatholicRadio Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm.   LINKS You can follow us on Facebook, [https://www.facebook.com/iowacatholicradio] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/iacatholicradio/], and Youtube [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ_w8fZ51egdFCWFGRSB4xA]!

The Catholic Morning Show – 07/07/2026

Two Ordinations, One Beautiful Calling This morning's show brings listeners inside two recent ordination celebrations shaping the future of the Church in Iowa. Hosts Bo Bonner, Alexia Baker, Ayden Pugh, and Brady Grimm welcome Deacon Joel Rogers and Catholic Messenger editor Dan Russo for back-to-back conversations on vocation, service, and the beauty of Holy Orders. Segment 1: Deacon Joel Rogers on His Diaconate Ordination Deacon Joel Rogers was ordained to the permanent diaconate for the Archdiocese of Dubuque on June 27 at the Cathedral of St. Raphael. He walks listeners through the liturgy step by step — the procession of clergy, the promises made by the ordinandi, the moment of lying prostrate during the Litany of the Saints, and the silent laying on of hands that marks the actual moment of ordination. Rogers also unpacks the threefold diaconal ministry of word, sacrament, and charity, and shares that his own charity placement is with Martha's House of Hope [https://www.marthashouseofhope.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], a maternity home in Ames. Segment 2: Dan Russo on Father Alfonso Pizano's Ordination The Catholic Messenger editor Dan Russo joins the show to discuss his coverage of Father Alfonso Pizano's ordination to the priesthood for the Diocese of Davenport. Pizano, a 47-year-old California native, followed a winding path to the altar — high school teaching, studies with the Jesuits at Loyola Marymount University, and years of discernment with the Priests of the Sacred Heart — before being ordained June 6 at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport by Bishop Dennis Walsh. Russo shares behind-the-scenes details from the Mass, including Bishop Walsh's homily on being sent as a laborer into the vineyard. Read Russo's full article, "Father Pizano Ordained: California Native Completes 'Long Journey' to Vocation," [https://catholicmessenger.net/2026/06/father-pizano-ordained-california-native-completes-long-journey-to-vocation/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show] at CatholicMessenger.net [https://catholicmessenger.net/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show].

Ordained to Serve: A Deacon's Journey to the Altar – Deacon Joel Rogers – 07/07/2026

A Front-Row Seat to Holy Orders Deacon Joel Rogers sits down with Bo Bonner to reflect on his June 27 ordination to the permanent diaconate for the Archdiocese of Dubuque, celebrated at the Cathedral of St. Raphael in Dubuque. Rogers describes the liturgy as "the church on full display," beginning with a procession of nearly a hundred deacons and priests into a packed cathedral. Inside the Ordination Rite Rogers walks through the key moments of the liturgy: the reading from Acts 6 on the calling of the first deacons, the promises made by the men being ordained, and the deeply emotional moment of lying prostrate on the cathedral floor during the Litany of the Saints. He describes the actual moment of ordination as strikingly silent — just the bishop's hands resting on his head in prayer. What Deacons Do Rogers unpacks the threefold diaconal ministry of word (proclaiming the Gospel and occasionally preaching), sacrament (assisting at Mass, baptisms, weddings, and funerals), and charity (service outside the parish). His own charity placement is with Martha's House of Hope [https://www.marthashouseofhope.org/?utm_source=Iowa%20Catholic%20Radio&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=The%20Catholic%20Morning%20Show], a maternity home in Ames, Iowa.
