Episode 227: The Westminster Way-Stage 0 Commuting to Start
(This episode is better watched on YouTube. Please view it on our channel.)

On this Jubilee year we went to London, England to walk the Westminster Way. Why England as it is not what you would consider a Catholic pilgrimage site and yet I’ve found such a story here of courage and faith, of the photo-martyrs of the reformation, of saints. Therefore in these next episodes we walk with the Saints, Missionaries, Servants, Scholar, Prophet of England and of the Church.

Meli Ramos can be like any young adult you will meet but there is something different about her. A sense of peace and tranquility. This episode gives us an opportunity to have a conversation with a young person who felt called to serve in religious life and discerned out of that life to be called to serve in a different vocation. She is a second generation immigrant and one who one day may have that patronage.

In this episode we journey to Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Palm Desert to have a conversation with two young Catholics on fire with the faith.

Genevieve Knight is a 28 year old cradle Catholic born and raised in Rancho Mirage, CA. Though she came from a Catholic background, it was not until the age of 21, while in her third year of college, she experienced a ‘simple, yet deeply profound’ encounter with Christ which changed the trajectory of her spiritual life forever. Genevieve shares her story with This Connected not only as a young adult on fire for the Truth, beauty, and goodness of the Catholic faith, but as one who seeks to be a witness to every person searching for the story God is constantly writing upon his and her heart.
Brian Ruberg is a 22-year old adult convert to Catholicism. Born on Rowlett, Texas and raised in La Quinta, California, Brian was brought up as a Non-denominational Protestant Christian but saw little value in his religion despite never abandoning it. After a search for meaning and purpose through various outlets such as philosophy and the straight-edge punk movement, he became involved in the online political scene where he met many like-minded young men, many of whom were Catholic. Already experiencing gradual growth in Christ, he became curious and fascinated with the Church and its reverence and tradition, attending his first mass in Latin. Over the next three years, he began to grow in the faith and fall in love with the sacraments, eventually becoming fully initiated into the Catholic faith on December 21st, 2024. Brian now works with his parish’s Young Adults Fellowship and maintains many friendships within the Church community and continues to grow and help other incoming Catholics grow their faith.

Planned Parenthood has been attempting to put in place another abortion center in the city of Fontana. Concerned citizens have been protesting since they have found out. The city of Fontana had placed a moratorium on building improvements in this section of the city thus halting Planned Parenthood's plans to perform abortions. On the day of the filming of this episode the City of Fontana extended that moratorium for another 12 months. This allows a stay on any abortions to be performed. Let us pray that Planned Parenthood does not succeed.
This episode is a colab with Julio Cesar of "On with JCAP" Podcast who asked people "why are you here?"
Interview with "thesurvivors.us" sidewalk counselor, Jocabed Torres Bernal, photojournalist Arvin Vicente and a powerful testimony of Anna Martin.

This podcast is part of our "Take Over This Connected Initiative" Giving others the opportunity to use our platform to share and connect others to what and how they are living out their faith.

This is that takeover episode by "Carmelita" a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order regarding the often overlooked situation and conditions of the Catholic Church and other people of faith in the country of Nicaragua.

Carmelite Quotes is a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order (OCDS) in the Washington Province whose primary apostolate is to share the message of Carmel by publishing a blog, graphics, and other resources that provide accurate quotes from Carmelite saints and authors. As a professional translator, "Carmelita" provides translation services to members of the Discalced Carmelite Order worldwide. Since 2018, Carmelita has supported the ministry and prophetic mission of Auxiliary Bishop Silvio Jose Baez of the Managua Archdiocese, who is also a Discalced Carmelite. Thus, Carmelita has assisted Nicaraguans over the last five years to spread their message among English-speaking readers. Since Christmas 2023, she has joined with another freedom-loving activist from Scotland to host the "Free the Bishops" podcast on Spotify to reach more English-speaking listeners with the message of religious freedom for the Catholic Church in Nicaragua. A clergy convert, Carmelita is a member of the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter and is a volunteer organist for her local Ordinariate community.

DISCLAIMER: In no way does Carmelite Quotes represent Secular Carmelite communities, the province, or the Discalced Carmelite order in any official capacity or claim to do so. Carmelite Quotes speaks strictly in an individual capacity. Although every attempt is made to provide accurate information, it may not necessarily represent the official teaching or position of the Discalced Carmelite Order.

Mary Lasham is an 85 years old youth minister.

Finding her call to "Praise God" in all she does she began youth ministry bringing not only her family back to the Church but many others including me through her smile, hospitality and JOY!
This episode is 2 years in the waiting. It was scheduled two years ago but Mary got Covid-19 and struggled to recover. At 85 she now continues to empower people to follow Jesus and glorify God.

Out of the dark.

Nallely Perez at 14 years old was pregnant. Begrudgingly she chose life for her daughter. But it was not a fairy tale ending when she chose life. At least not yet. Her journey is one of inspiration and her story is the truth of many other women who find themselves today.

In this episode we hear from Nallely Perez, a mother, a wife, and an abortion worker survivor. Listen to her story working at an abortion center and the listen to the why and what happens inside to people who work at these clinics. Listen to her story; it may not be much different than yours and maybe be the catalyst to bring about compassion to pray more and reach out to help those who find themselves employed at these clinics. Find out how she got out of that darkness and found herself in the light to help others be not victims of abortion through the organization that has fostered her vocation to be the voice of compassion.

We also hear from Maria from Respect for Life of the Diocese of San Bernardino who at the posting of this episode is fighting against the opening of another Planned Parenthood Clinic in the city of Fontana, CA.

Contact both these courageous young women to help bring about and foster a culture of life.

Here you go! Many of you have sent us the YouTube video of Calvin Robinsons speech at the Oxford Union on February 15, 2023. You asked for us for our reaction to this speech which was about homosexual marriages and extending the Christian sacrament to said marriages. So we asked Josue and Mcpherson to join us in this episode to gain the response of not just me but also two young adult Catholics on the speech on this topic.
Topics of discussion:

  • God sets the terms not us
  • "It is they who went away changed"
  • The Faith is Discriminatory
  • The Church Denounces Sin not the Sinner
  • Teach about salvation
  • St. Athanasius of Alexandria quote

These episodes will be short (around 30 to 40 minutes) to hopefully showcase some of the challenges youth ministers come into and an opportunity to learn from the ups and downs of the ministers we have on the show.

In this Youth Ministry Moment episode titled, "Short Season / Long Game" our guest is Melissa Acosta; the Youth & Young Adult Minister as well as Music Minister at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Melissa has been active in youth ministry since 2012 starting at Sacred Heart Catholic Church before moving to Sts. Peter & Paul. A music minister, worship leader, wife and devoted mother of two, Melissa has many talents. She is a gifted singer, speaker and shares her love and knowledge of the Lord and His Church.

Bethany took over, Tony played with the camera switcher and Arnel was being well, Arnel.
We just talked about our advent, what it was about and had some laughs, but we did get a little serious here in the middle. We chatted a bit about how difficult and lonely the Christmas season can be for many of our family and friends. Enjoy the show.

**EP 138: Ismael & Juan [Heroic Friendship]

Happy Halloween!!!
Yes This Connected does celebrate Halloween! Why? Because it is very Catholic.**But on the 138th episode we invited 2 friends who I have been inspired about since I have seen the joy in their faces in the activities. Also not knowing that the things they do actually does in a way lead others closer to Christ. The two young men were inseparable, yes I said inseparable until Juan took the plunge and entered into #seminary to become a #priest.
So listen to the episode and hear all the joys and craziness they have had and laugh and smile along with us all throughout the episode.

Follow them on social media and follow the #SBDioceseVocations to find out more about religious vocations.

"DIG IT UP!"
On this episode we watch and talk about the recent interview that Shia LeBeouf (pronounced "shall I buff") had with Bishop Barron on the movie Padre Pio in which he starred in the role of St. Padre Pio. The four of us on this episode, Producer Tony, myself along with guest hosts Josue Marin and McPherson Michael Rodriguez talk about key parts of the interview and share our thoughts.
It's a lighthearted conversation (between four bearded bros over beer) that has a serious tone to it.
Here are the minute markers of our conversation:
00:10:00 - TLM experience
00:31:22 - The transforming power of the Gospel
00:40:01 - Laughter - Aka JOY
00:53:16 - A man in todays world
01: 01:20 - The Eucharist is not just a cracker
01:13:00 - Pio and the Mass
01:23:30 - Who is Pio?

Episode 130: Quarantine Vibes!

After 2 years of being virus free, the COVID caught up to us at This Connected and it was not the vacation we wanted. We paused podcasting to quarantine and focus on our health.

However, things continued to move around us. So in this rant episode Tony, and I along with Bethany chatted about our quarantine experience and things that happened while we were gone, like the Roe decision on June 24, 2022. We also talked about YAM updates. Shoutout to the newest YAM in the diocese which is Lucis Missio from San Secondo d'Asti in Guasti California. Follow them at lucismissio.org/ and on their intagram account @lucismissio .

And while we were quarantined This Connected was interviewed by Ryan Coleman and independent journalist and an article was written about the podcast in the IEByte which is the Catholic newspaper for the Diocese of San Bernardino. We were honored and humbled to be a featured article and I guess now called a "ministry for the ears."
SEND US SOME EARS LIKE MICKEY MOUSE OR WHATEVER AND TONY WILL WEAR THEM.

Lastly we shared what episodes will be coming up on the show.

In this episode our guest is Alex Barraza, Regional Coordinator for Youth & Young Adult Ministry, Pastoral Juvenil with the Diocese of Sacramento , California, USA. Alex shares a little about his life experiences in life and in the church as a father, a missionary, a youth minister in places like South Carolina and Minnesota. He shares his wonderful and inspirational stories about the grace from God and raising his children.

Although this episodes focus was to be about Racism; we have to say that it only just cracks open the door to what the country, the Church and people of God has and continue to go through. This was a conversation to crack open that door. We hope and pray that we will soon in the future open wide the doors of acceptance and healing where all people are welcome and bigotry is removed from our hearts and we may all see each other as God sees us, imago dei.

This episode was done while breaking bread.  Having a conversation while eating dinner is a great way to talk and listen.  
Tony and I had great conversation with Fr Alex Rodarte, Kimberly Puerto, Bethany Faz, and Maria Recio.  Pizza and drinks brings out the best discussion.  
So sit back and listen to our banter about the synod and more.
* This is where Tony shows off his mustache.

Episode 107 is on Liturgical Dancing at - gasp! - church.
Yes fam, we went there. This episode is a conversation about one of the most controversial liturgical issues in America, second only to whether or not to hold hands during the Our Father and I wont even mention where it falls with receiving the Eucharist on the hand or on the tongue.
But our guest Alex Estrella who does Liturgical Movement aka Liturgical dancing graced us with her presence to have a conversation about this ministry. Alex is such a gentle and kind soul that expresses her passion for the Lord in her ministry. This conversation is simply that a conversation about Liturgical Dancing from the perspective of a person who does and understands it with a person (me) who at times is uncomfortable with it.
After listening to this episode I hope that it connected with you as our mission is, "to connect generations and situations about life, faith and everything that comes along the way, to not necessarily agree but be listened to. Enjoy the show!

EP 102 is the GREAT REVEAL!

Our friend and fellow youth minister from St. Francis of Assisi Parish in LaQuinta, CA has resigned as the YM! This is is because Catholic Youth Minister Chris is now Seminarian Chris. Yes, he applied and was accepted. This is his vocation story. NOW Chris is a PIT!

Christopher Rodriguez is 23 years old and a new Seminarian for The Diocese of San Bernardino! He was born in Palm Springs, California where he lived all his life. He is the youngest of three siblings, and a son, disciple, brother, and God Parent!

On his free time he enjoys attending Catholic events, visiting So-Cal theme parks and building community with his friends!
Vocation stories and callings are amazing. We hope you enjoy this episode but we also ask you to keep Chris and all seminarians in your prayers.

EP 101 is a conversation with the Director of Vocations for the Diocese of San Bernardino, Fr. Hau Vu.

Fr. Hau Vu is of Vietnamese descent and shares his testimony of how he came to answer the call to become a priest. Everyone has a testimony and Fr. Hau Vu's testimony is one that raises "goose bumps" as God asks, "am I not enough."
Producer Tony Pimentel co-hosts this episode asking the questions that young adults discerning the priesthood want to know.

Episode 98: IS IT A SIN TO MASTURBATE? "Am I the Only One?"

This episode contains discussion about pornography and masturbation that affects all of us with a special focus on youth and young adults in our community. It contains the personal testimony of the suffering of a young minister who lived through this suffering and was graced with the love of our Lord Jesus. We encourage parents to listen to this episode with their youth and young adults to get passed the discomfort of the topic and face head on with accountability in order to achieve redemption from this addiction. An addiction that distorts the gift of intimacy.

We chose a few listener questions which we included in the discussion:

  1. Is it a sin when it has become an addiction to masturbate? Perhaps you also masturbate when you are stressed out?
  2. What do you do when you are going to confession for falling into sin and you feel like you're not making any progress?
  3. I know many friends and students in my life who struggle with this but there are some girls (probably more than want to admit) who have confided in me their struggles. What would you say/encourage to a student on how to break the habit or sustain the break from the habit? What do you do when temptation of that kind strikes?
  4. I think too, a big thing is many people have the misinformation that girls don't struggle with addictions to masturbation and pornography. Many Catholics are influenced to think that sex is bad and so all thoughts of sex can be bad but that's because there is no knowledge of TOB.
  5. I've actually thought about this before and I looked into it. An yes it is a sin to fall into lust and lust is not only limited to sex and masturbation, it's really anything such as food and other things that lead you away from God. that is what I boiled it down to.
  6. Does it ever eventually become easier to fight the temptation? For me the temptation come basically every day and sometimes several times throughout the day and the longer and longer I go without it [masturbation], the harder it seems to fight the temptation.
  7. I want to know if addiction to masturbate still exist in marriage?
  8. People downplay this struggle many face as natural. Women are also promoting this more and more.
  9. In society in which this behavior/addiction is normalized, how can someone overcome the "it's not a sin" mindset?
  10. Are there any programs or resources that help with this behavior?

STEEP, like steeping tea, extracting flavors or stories.
Our guest for this episode is Archie, former youth minister at St. Catherine in Riverside California for 11 years. One of the most dynamic ministers I had ever watched while doing ministries.

Listen to Archie as he lays down some wisdom and his stories of ministry and his current projects such as Spero Worship that is a giving space for young people who are seeking God and his love.

On the show this week, I am joined by our shows producer Tony Pimentel who is a paid youth minister et. al in the Diocese of San Bernardino. We talk about and discuss the answer to poll questions I posted on our Instagram account @catholic.dad about Volunteer vs Paid Staff Youth Ministers. As usual its always a fun chat with Tony and I but in all seriousness we spoke on the challenges of being a on staff YM vs a Volunteer YM. I think we share a bit on the pro's a con's of each and had a good cup of coffee together. We hope you enjoy the show.

Every year the parish of St Mary's has had a tradition of performing a live Passion of Christ play. Due to the Pandemic lockdown, St Mary's was not able to do the live Via Crucis last year. Therefore the individual who played Jesus in the play, Diego Gamboa along with a few other people of his family and friends created this audio version of the play. Complete with background music and sound effects, this audio rendition will allow you to feel as if you were there during Christ's Passion.

Originally released on April 9 & 10, 2020 as two episodes, this re-release combines both episodes to one. We hope you enjoy this episode and allows you a better experience during this Holy Week.

Episode 70 is with Christine Merriman, host, creator and star of Christine in Action. A YouTube channel created "for the greater glory of God."
Listen to this story of Christine who during the covid lockdown felt called to create something that would engage the children in learning and being formed in their faith. Casting aside traditional ways, she ventured into the use of Youtube and create she did. One minute videos to catechize children and people of all ages to the knowledge of Christ and his Church. Christine in Action has blown up and is a great tool to use for both catechists and parents.
During this podcast, we got to learn more about Christine and she dropped some great info for youth and especially young ladies who can receive inspiration from her journey.
"Sometimes God allows your heart to be broken so that he can come in."
I had a joy doing this podcast and singing along.
Be prepared to be inspired.

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly Episodes are simply open conversations with two holy priests, Fr. Alex Rodarte and Fr. Tyler Tripp about situations about faith, life and whatever comes along the way.

In this episode we chat about the changes in liturgical practices, such as placement of the tabernacle, liturgical dancing, etc.  We got so deep into our conversation that we lost track of time.  That is why this podcast is in two parts.  We hope the conversation we had opens your mind to have open discussions with friends, family, and people in your ministry.

This series called I Love Youth Ministry or A2Z "A" is the first I Love Youth Ministry episodes that features YMSTMARY of St. Mary's Catholic Church in Fontana, CA.  In this episode we connected with Sarah Dingler; a unpaid (whaaat?) Volunteer Youth Minister and two of her Core Teams, Josue Marin and Loren Recio.
This episode is not only filled with information about Sarah and what she and her ministry does but surprise announcements.  Just so many surprise announcements.
The Letter for this podcast was the letter A.  The word was Apostolic and alopecia.  Sarah named 16 Saints in 30 seconds and is now the current record Holier than Thou Award.
WE had so much fun on This Connected and we look forward to having yall meet the other Youth Ministry's and YAM's in the future.

It's a difficult time during these days of elections and a time in crisis and who to vote for.  ON this episode we talk about who some of our listeners will vote for and it's not surprising on the seperation. However, we hope this episode allows you to face this in light of forming consciences for faithful citizenship.  We want to thank those brave listeners who sent in their responses.  We were not able to read all of them.
As a bonus we talked about what may be liturgical abuse as well.

"If you can do it, I guess I can do it."
This episodes bring two former youth ministers together from St Mary's, Barbara Jean and me.
We reminisce a little bit about days in ministry, chickens, pigs, and farm life then get on to the serious topic of a rare disorder Barbara discovered she had, myotonic dystrophy. It is so rare her daughter who is now 22 years old was misdiagnosed until Barbara discovered it herself by chance a few years ago. However, the difficulty in finding out that you have a disease which will take your life is that two of your children have it as well.
This podcast is light hearted, funny and also very serious in sharing a little of Barbara's own "paschal mystery." Her zebra life and her blessed life. In this podcast you will hear her story in bringing together her blog called, A Zebra Life, A Blessed Life.
You can follow Barbara Jean on her Instagram @azebralifeablessedlife
You can learn more about Myotonic Dystrophy by going to www.myotonic.org/what-dm/faqs

EP Five-O. Who I am - not just a cop.
This episode is part of the Who "I am" series.
Our society today is going through a lot. With the Covid-19 pandemic, lock down and the protests has left many people questioning what is going on in our world, our community. Disagreement arise among friends, among neighbors and what is it that we are to do? In our series of Who “I am” we look at who we are as a person and how we see each other? When we look do we see Christ in the other and do others see Christ in us.

On this episode we talk to two police officers about what it is like to be a police officer, the protest, Black Lives Matter.

A lot of young people are asking questions that I believe we all are asking.

Why is it taking so long for justice? Why are we still facing injustice due to racism in our country? Why are we failing, how can we be better? These are questions our nation is reckoning with and must face. Although we were not able to go in depth with these questions, I hope that you were able to take something away from this podcast. I pray that what you’ve heard will allow you to be open to dialogue with the people you disagree with and come to a consensus that benefits our community.

In this episode we have real talk with April Ray of Urban Fire Ministry. She shares her perspective as wife and mother. Her personal story of courage rising from not knowing God the Father, being sexually abused as a teen to meeting the love of her life to leading a life of mission with her husband and family. As April Ray says, their mission is not to be motivational but to be "formational." Forming young men and women, guiding them with real life experiences.
This podcast was recorded at the Wing-Stop on Greenspot Road in Highland California. Home of delicious wings, (my favorites Lemon Pepper and Mango Habanero with my sweet tea) and loaded fries. Nothing is better than having a conversation while breaking bread and in this case wings.
April and I have real talk about the journey to understanding how to "submit" to her husband and what that means to be "submissive" to your husband to the current crisis occuring in our society.
It was a thrill to just talk and listen. Follow her on facebook at Urban Fire Movement.

EP 43: "What's it like being black?"
We recorded this episode while having a large cup of caramel latte and a large Strawberry Banana Smoothie with Chocolate Chip Muffies at Panera Bread, at the Falcon ridge Shopping Center in North Fontana. I mean what else would you order when you ask a friend to meet you to talk about his stories. You see next to my mother, Anthony Miley may be the best story teller I know. He is a "master story teller," who conveys the reality of his real lived life. His stories are real and are from his heart, and it has to be a big heart because Mr. Miley (spell that right) is a big man. Not just in size but in how he carries himself with humility, gentleness and kindness. But one would never know this unless one asks him or approaches him.
In this podcast we just simply talk and I hope you are able to listen to what he is saying. He speaks from the heart which like he says what we say can cause ripples that will reach far. "One night in the emergency room" was something he wrote where another man asked him straight up, "What's it like being black?"
At a time when we have so much that is dividing us, and our country, our community, our self are feeling so much hurt. Let's take a moment to listen and see where we connect. It's hard to build a bridge. We don't know if people want it. We don't know if people will cross it. We don't know if it will mean anything. So why do we build bridges? I don't know but let's find out.

EPISODE 41 IS THE GREEK CONNECTION.
Catholic.dad talks to Catherine, Anthony, Lovely Ann, Danica Dolores, George, Gerald, Nina, AJ and Ivy; youth from the Vincentian Marian Youth of Athens Greece. Each of them with their story. These young Greeks are not your typical looking Greeks. They are 2nd and 3rd generation of Filipino descent. They speak of their faith and you can hear the connection they have with each other and how it is to sometimes be a stranger in your own home. Belonging to two cultures can be difficult having strong faith helps.
Listen and watch to the JOY in these young people. And for Anthony. JOY stands for Jesus 1st, Others 2nd and You third. That spells JOY! Get it?

Episode 37 speaks of the pandemic of our times. One that has ruined and continues to put to ruin the lives of men, women and children. This episode is about the pandemic of pornography.
Catholic.dad along with guest co-host Karlo Osio, a mother of four children interviews and talks to Steve Pokorny.

Steve Pokorny - Founder of Freedom Coaching. Like many men, Steve Pokorny was exposed to pornography at a young age and struggled with pornography compulsion for many years before encountering freedom.

"I really thought there was no hope at all, but by the grace of God I have been set free from the domination of lust – and free indeed, so much so, that I would rather die than lust. Because of this great gift, I’m making my life work to help other’s recover their God given-given dignity and to assist them on their own journey of healing and wholeness.”

Steve holds an MA in theology and a specialization in catechetics from Franciscan University of Steubenville, as well as an MTS from the John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family Studies in Washington D.C. Steve is a Certified Life Coach from the Life Coach Training Institute. Author of "Redeemed Vision: Setting the Blind Freed from the Pornified Culture," Steve also is an internationally-known speaker, speaking with a wide variety audiences on many topics (for a list, click here). He is married and lives with his family in San Antonio, Texas.

We hope you take to heart what Steve has shared.

Part 3 of this series is called “Salubong”, a Filipino word meaning “Encounter,” it is the reenactment of the glorious encounter of Jesus and Mary, his sorrowful mother after the resurrection. It is a highlight of the Easter celebration throughout the Philippines celebrated at Easter Dawn. A folk religious musical drama depicting the traditional, blended with contemporary ambience with a musical cast.
We want to acknowledge the late Fr. Roland Ardes, who assisted by Zack Ventura directed this Salubong play. The original script was written by Fr. Lito Jopson and enhanced later by Fr. Roland with music background. The Salubong Group performing this was headed by the late Ver Nedic. The cast of characters are:
Robert Ventura as the Risen Lord, Christie Alcazar as the Sorrowful Mother, Elizabeth Ventura as the Lead Angel, Nicole Ventura as the Narrator and a multitude of children as the Choir of Angels.
Happy Easter from the Crew of This Connected Podcast.

On this 33rd Episode of This Connected we thought we would do it different this time around and record off a live Instagram feed. Although it was fun, it did have some technical audio difficulties. This cast is a little low on the volume so please turn it up. Joining me is special guest, Tony Pimentel who is the Middle School and High School Ministry Coordinator of Saint Oscar Romero Catholic Church in Eastvale, California. He has been involved in youth ministry for 9 years. He loves serving the Lord, leading worship, creating video content of all sorts, and saying classic dad jokes but he is not a dad.
The podcast today is about HOARDING FAITH - GOD’S T.P. (TOTAL PROVIDENCE)
Providence is defined as: the protective care of God as a spiritual Power and so in we talk a little about Virtues and Vices and say a few Dad jokes. We talk a little about the effects of the Global Pandemic on ministry and young people and we talk a little about St Therese of Lisiuex little way to becoming a saint. Her way is the "elevator" this age its the web.
Tony shares insight on his role as a youth minister, young adult during this time. This podcast is funny and full of awkward moments but ultimately filled with the Holy Spirit.

We are living in an unprecedented time. A Time of anxiety, of fear, of what we don’t know, of what we can’t see. We are living in a time of stay home orders, loss of work, not being able to see family and friends, not being able to go to school. Not being able to go to worship God at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass together, in person with our friends. We live in a time when even our ministries that are called to go out to meet people and evangelize are challenged. Today we will talk to Edgardo Juarez, the director of the Ministry for Young Catholics in the Diocese of San Bernardino regarding what is happening with the ministry and what plans they have to continue to minister to the young people of our diocese.

Episode 25 is a post Valentine’s Day Podcast. We share the answers our listeners wrote in as well as those people we spoke to live on the question - “what does love mean to you.” We hear from middle school, high school, young adults and mature adults as well as parent listeners who share their answers. We hope you find it as interesting as I did on the differences and similarities of their answers. It is striking that the answers reflect our Bishop episcopal motto “Amar es Entregarse” (the total giving of oneself). Self sacrifice seemed to resonate in the responses.

Episode 22 we speak to a missionary group. This is our connection with them. | The Missionary Cenacle Familyare a spiritual family within the Catholic Church called the Missionary Cenacle Family. They have 4 branches. The Founders are Fr. Thomas A. Judge, CM, Mother Boniface Keasey, and Dr. Margaret Healy.In 1909 Fr. Thomas Augustine Judge, CM became more and more concerned about Catholics losing their faith. The churches in Brooklyn where he was ministering were full, but he saw that many people, particularly immigrants from traditionally Catholic countries, were not coming to Church.He was aware that as a priest he was not too popular with some of these non- practicing Catholics. Knowing this awareness to be an urging of the Holy Spirit, Fr. Judge invited a group of apostolic catholic women to meet with him to pray and plan about the problem of those Catholics in risk of losing the faith.That first meeting which took place in Brooklyn, NY at St. John’s Parish was the beginning of what was to become the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate (MCA). The MCA includes married couples and those who chose to be single without vows. From this lay organization eventually came two new missionary religious congregations: The Missionary Servants of the Most Blessed Trinity (Catholic sisters) and the Missionary Servants of the Most Holy Trinity (Catholic brothers and priests). Fr. Judge believed in the capacity of ordinary men and women to love and serve God in the ordinary circumstance of their lives. He taught that by being a loving presence to the people we meet in our daily life we live out our Baptismal call to be Apostles.This is a true family of missionaries who strive to live a simple life through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Through the providence of God in every day life, they live out their baptismal call by reaching out to the poor and marginalized. Seeking to be that bridge that brings those that have left the Church or the faith altogether to bring them hope and be Church for them. As a family they share the same rule of life and traditions and Customs that make us family. They meet regularly and seek guidance through spiritual directors.Doctor Margaret Healy was an early associate of Father Judge. In 1928 she was asked by Fr. Judge to assume the role of General Custodian for the combined lay groups which became known as the Missionary Cenacle Apostolate. She was to hold this office until 1964. She was instrumental in the formation of the Blessed Trinity Missionary Institute (BTMI) which is the secular branch for single women with private vows. The Missionary Cenacle Family exists to glorify the Triune God by participating in the mission of Jesus as an apostolic family which is missionary in the providence of daily life. | Learn more about this group and find out how “This Connected.” || Send email to Catholic.dad50@gmail.com | follow us on Instagram at Catholic.dad or on Facebook at This Connected with Catholic.dad | Please Rate Share And give us a review | we will be praying for u-please pray for us - #BBlessedB3rd--- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app--- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ThisConnected/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ThisConnected/supportConsider going Solar for your house energy.
