The Catholic Morning Show - 04/28/2026

Author: Iowa Catholic Radio April 28, 2026 Duration: 57:44
On today’s Catholic Morning Show, we explore two powerful expressions of Catholic life: conversion and service. First, Father Jason Catania shares his remarkable journey into the Catholic Church through the Anglican Catholic Ordinariate, established by Pope Benedict XVI. He reflects on what it means to convert not just individually, but as an entire parish community, and how the spiritual heritage of Anglicanism continues to enrich his priesthood today. Then, we turn to the next generation of leaders at Dowling Catholic High School. Students and moderator Andy Reid discuss the impact of the Chick-fil-A Leadership Academy, highlighting service projects, personal growth, and their upcoming free community carnival for families. From deep theological reflection to joyful community outreach, today’s show celebrates how faith is lived out in both personal vocation and servant leadership.
