Tiny Homes, Big Hope

Tiny Homes, Big Hope

What if the solution to homelessness started with something as simple, and as powerful, and a place to call home? In this episode of Catholic Conversations, we sit down with Andrew Lunetta, founder and Executive Director of A Tiny Home for Good, to discuss how the organization is addressing homelessness through affordable housing, community, and human dignity. Andrew shares the story behind A Tiny Home for Good, the impact stable housing can have on a person’s life, and the hope that is being built one home at a time in Syracuse.

One Year at the Altar

One year after their ordination to the priesthood, Father Joe Ryan and Father John Brusa return to Catholic Conversations to reflect on their first year of ministry. Join us as they share the joys, challenges, lessons, and graces they have experienced while serving God’s people, celebrating the sacraments, and living out their vocation as priests of the Diocese of Syracuse.

From the Dinner Table to the Altar

As ordination day approaches, Deacon Cornelius Deep reflects on his journey to the priesthood; from “playing Mass” as a child to recognizing and responding to God’s call. He shares key moments of affirmation, the people who shaped his vocation, and the experiences from formation that he will carry into ministry. As this special day nears, he also opens up about what’s on his heart and the joy he feels in saying “yes” to God.

Hope for Every Mother

Dine Cima and Christine Loadwick from Birthright of Onondaga County join us to share how their ministry offers hope, compassion, and practical support to pregnant women and families in our community. In this conversation, they discuss what makes Birthright unique, the importance of accompaniment and community support, and how simple acts of love can make a lasting impact in someone’s life.

Finding Faith Side by Side

Nick Leonard and Brooke Yerian join us to share their journey through the OCIA process and how walking toward the Catholic faith together transformed both their relationship and their lives. From searching for deeper meaning to entering the Church at the Easter Vigil, and even a proposal on the morning of the Vigil itself, their story is a powerful witness to God’s grace, love, and invitation. Whether you’re curious about the Catholic faith or simply inspired by stories of hope and conversion, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
