So, let's go back in time to the First Sunday of Lent 2014, on March 9 of that year. Fr. Valencheck kicks off Lent by trying to understand what it is about sin that makes it so appealing in the present but so damaging over time.
Technical difficulties this week.
So, let's go back in time to the First Sunday of Lent 2011, on March 13 of that year. It's again Fr. Pfeiffer, now of St. Paul Parish in Akron but then of St. Sebastian. For more information on St. Paul Parish, visit them at www.stpaulparishakron.org, or via their soundcloud/podcast feed https://soundcloud.com/stpaulparish.
For an additional treat, you are invited to weekday masses at St. Paul this Lent, where Fr. Pfeiffer will lead the Eucharistic Prayer with the congregation in a style similar to the Extraordinary Form Mass. More information is available at their website, or for a much better explanation than this small paragraph could ever provide, listen to the short 3 minute Ash Wednesday homily on St. Paul's feed.
Fr. Valencheck hopped on the underground and took the subway a quick stop away from St. Sebastian Parish last week to join Fr. G. David Bline of St. Francis de Sales Parish on their radio program, "The Mercy Show".
Together these two seminary classmates unpack the readings from the 8th Sunday in Ordinary time, discuss preparations for Lent, and perhaps once and for all solve the eternal mystery of who arrived at the University of Akron first.
