Fr. Justin Echevarria

Fr. Peter sits down with his “little brother” in the priesthood, Fr. Justin Echevarria, for a wonderful conversation - and a couple good-humored pranks! Through their shared experiences, Fr. Justin and Fr. Peter provide a unique insight into the Catholic priesthood: the rigorous academics, mentors who help you to see yourself clearly, the humanity of the priest, and how priesthood is ultimately meant to help others encounter the Lord. Fr. Justin also opened up about his struggles with comparison and low confidence, his relationship with his family, and the turning point on his journey to the priesthood. - - - A note from Mater Dei Radio: Our team has been hard at work behind the scenes bringing in additional equipment and personnel so we can produce future episodes more frequently and with better quality.

Jordan Salame

Fr. Peter sits down for a chat with Jordan Salame, who worked as an intern in the Vocations Office and provided the incredible on-location footage seen at the beginning of every podcast episode!
