Season 2 | Episode 16: Mom Knows Best (And Tells All): A Conversation with Patrick's Mom

In this special Mother's Day episode of Saints Speak, Patrick and Brian sit down with Patrick's mom for a fun and heartfelt conversation. She shares stories from his childhood (yes, some you've never heard before), reflects on her journey through motherhood, and opens up about what it truly means to be a mom. And because it's May (aka "Maycember"), we're also looking ahead to the whirlwind of end-of-school-year events, celebrations, and everything packed into these final weeks. It's a mix of laughter, nostalgia, and timely encouragement for a very full season of life!

Season 2 | Episode 15: Cleveland's Backyard: The Momentum of the Metroparks

Episode 15 of Saints Speak brings us outdoors just in time for Earth Day! We're joined by Chief Planning and Design Officer for Cleveland Metroparks, LCA Parent and Board Member, Sean McDermott, who takes us behind the scenes of one of Northeast Ohio's greatest treasures. From the vision that shapes the park system to exciting projects on the horizon, we explore how the Metroparks continue to grow, adapt, and serve the community. Along the way, we talk about practical ways to experience the parks, hidden gems you might not know about, and why access to green space matters now more than ever. Plus, we kick things off with our usual look at what's been happening and what's coming up in the life of LCA as the end of the school year quickly approaches. Whether you're a regular on the trails or just looking for a reason to get outside, this episode is a perfect way to celebrate Earth Day and rediscover Cleveland's Emerald Necklace.
