Author: Paul Michelini and Randy Laya (RIP co-founder Jeff Corrigan) October 3, 2020 Duration: 32:00
Today's podcast features a look at St. Sebastian, the first Patron Saint of Athletes. "San Sebastian" is the Catholic Sportsman Show Patron Saint. Randy gives us a historical look at how he became a saint of the Catholic Church and faced double martyrdom at the hands of Emperor Diocleasian.

In a world where stadiums and sanctuaries often feel miles apart, The Catholic Sportsman Show Podcast finds the profound connection between them. Hosts Paul Michelini and Randy Laya, alongside the enduring memory of co-founder Jeff Corrigan, engage in thoughtful conversations that explore how the drama, discipline, and community found in sports intersect with a lived Catholic faith. This isn't just a post-game analysis; it's a deeper look at the stories, history, and personalities within athletics, examining them through a spiritual lens. You'll hear discussions that are as likely to delve into the theological virtues demonstrated on the field as they are to appreciate a great historical moment in sport. Recorded within The Diocese of Orange, California, the podcast brings on guests who share this unique perspective, creating dialogues that are both topical and timeless. Whether reflecting on loss, leadership, or pure athletic joy, Paul and Randy offer a space where the universal language of games meets the enduring questions of faith, culture, and society. Tune in for a series that celebrates the athlete's journey while thoughtfully considering its place within a broader spiritual life.
