Candid Catholic Convos 10-27-2024 Yes Halloween is Catholic

Candid Catholic Convos 10.27.24

 

A weekly program produced by the Catholic diocese of Harrisburg, Pa.

 

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

Halloween, unfortunately, has been long associated with spirituality and the occult. Christians and non-Christians alike are convinced of Halloween’s pagan origins, and with the abundance of violence, gore, sensuality, occultism, and demonic aspects now associated with Halloween, it’s hard not to. But is Halloween a pagan holiday or is it a hijacked holy day? How does the Catholic church feel about it? And since we’re talking about ghosts, are they even real and is believing in them in accordance with our Catholic faith? Today we're excited to welcome back to the program Father Jonathan Sawicki, pastor at Saint Theresa’s Parish in New Cumberland to talk through the history of this fascinating holiday and find out if it’s all, in fact, just a bunch of hocus pocus.

Candid Catholic Convos 10-24-2024 NOURISHED BY FAITH+SPIRIT

Candid Catholic Convos 10.20.24

 

A weekly program produced by the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, Pa.

 

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

On previous episodes we’ve talked about our wellness, our whole selves, as being spiritual, physical and mental. If you forsake one for another, inevitably, you will still suffer. How we nurture or nourish each of these areas directly impacts the other, which in turn impacts our whole self and how we show up in the world, how we make the real presence of Christ visible through us. So how can we show up as God calls us to if it feels like we’re missing something? Where do we find that missing piece of the puzzle? Over the last several months, we’ve talked to experts in wellness, specifically nutrition and movement, as to how we address our whole selves, to truly care for the gift God has given us. Today, I’m excited to tackle the topic of spiritual nourishment with spiritual director, Chris Wood, on how we can grow in our faith and effectively manage our time for spiritual wellness, just like we would with physical wellness. For more info on spiritual director formation or finding a spiritual director for yourself, contact Melissa Maleski at MMaleski@hbgdiocese.org.

Family Show 10/18/2024 - Pursuing "Life in Spite of Me"?

Who’s destined to make the most of your life: you or God?  Has the devil been roaming around your mind managing your thoughts long enough?  Is it time you signed his eviction papers?  If God really came to bring you to abundant life, are you being an asset or a hinderance on that journey?  If it’s time you boarded the train bound for abundant life and checked in with the Conductor who never saw anyone who was beyond His love, then join Eleanor, Brenda, and Randy as they steam along with the God who wants to be your Emmanuel on both sides of the veil and the mother who will never let you go.

A weekly program produced by the Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg, Pa.

 

SHOW DESCRIPTION:

 

Well friends, love it or hate it, election season is here. If you’re anything like me, you may already be confused, concerned and maybe even a bit frustrated right now, and there’s only a few weeks left to make a decision at the polls. Today, I’m very excited to welcome back Executive Director of the PA Catholic Conference and regular guest on our show, Eric Failing. Eric brings a terrific sense of humor, heart and humble faith to the often overwhelming topic of politics and today is no different as we discuss whether or not our votes actually count, educating ourselves as Catholics on how we are called to participate in politics, and tactful ways to navigate differences of opinion during these divided times.
