In this episode, we talk with Dominic Carstens who participated as a Perpetual Pilgrim in the recent National Eucharistic Pilgrimage  This event was a precursor to the National Eucharistic Congress held in Indianapolis on July 20 – 21, 2024. The Pilgrimage consisted of four routes, East, West, North, and South which made the shape of a cross over America. Each group took our Lord, present in the Eucharist, as they made their way across the country ministering to everyone they met. Dominic was on the Seton Route from the East that began in Connecticut. Dominic’s love and enthusiasm for our Lord is quite evident in the presentation of his experiences along the way as he walked and traveled with our Eucharistic Lord! Dominic’s sports experience began humbly in a cow pasture in Wisconsin. After graduating from high school, Dominic was a missionary in Kenya where sports was a way to connect with the children. He graduated from college this year and works at the Catholic Ecology Center. Dominic encourages us all to grow closer to our Lord, especially through the Sacraments of Confession and the Eucharist and to encourage others to do the same.

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.
