Do you wish you knew more about your Catholic faith? Do you think you’re too far past your “college days”? Are you just too busy to do it? Many faithful Catholics feel exactly the same way! That’s why we’ve invited Dr. Marianne Mount, President of Catholic Distance University, to join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth. We discuss not only why it’s important to learn more about your faith, but how you can do it online and fit it neatly into your own personal schedule!

Armour Up
Are you ready for a battle? You can assured that Satan is ready…so we must be as well. And, there’s a lot at stake in this battle, because it is spiritual warfare. Our eternal salvation hangs in the balance! Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they answer an email from Audra, a 26 year-old listener who wants some help and direction in discerning her way through life.
Spiritual Direction
Do you have trouble asking for directions? Many of us do…especially when it comes to our spiritual life! In actuality, we really don’t mind asking a doctor, lawyer, banker or architect for advice and direction when it comes to decisions about our day to day life. But, when it comes to our eternal life…most of us don’t get much in the way of direction. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they discuss the concept of spiritual direction and how a little direction can keep us from getting lost on our faith journey.
My Kids Are Leaving The Church
What do you do when your child, who you have raised to be a good Catholic kid, comes up to you and announces, “Mom, Dad…I’m leaving the Catholic Church.” More and more Catholic parents are hearing this as the number of “nones” (those with no particular religious affiliation) grows in our modern culture. Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they share their thoughts on the Do’s and Don’ts of addressing your children’s decision to leave the Catholic faith.
Ite Missa Est
We all know a little about why we go on pilgrimage, or retreat or any occasion of blessing. But, do we know what to do next? What do we take with us? How do we apply the grace we have received to the remainder of our lives? Join Deacon Jeff and Robert in the Luxurious Corner Booth of the FRENCH Catholic Cafe as they wrap up this year’s pilgrimage to Lourdes, France and what happens next in “life after pilgrimage.”

Hear her incredible journey of healing and service as Deacon Jeff welcomes her to the Luxurious Corner Booth of the FRENCH Catholic Cafe in a place known for spiritual and physical healing, Lourdes, France.
Men Of St Joseph

It is for this reason that a group of men who were seeking to become the best Christian men that they could be called their gathering the “Men of St. Joseph.” Join Deacon Jeff and Tom as they welcome Dr. Kevin Ryan, Executive Director of the Men of St. Joseph, to the Luxurious Corner Booth to discuss the meaning and purpose of this now-worldwide organization and also his own conversion story.
