Thank you for this Podcast! I look forward to the new episode every week and learn so much. Andrea and Jennifer - thank you for being relatable and sharing great content with the Diocese of Phoenix. God bless.
This is such a great catholic program. It has Bishop’s reflections, local news, updates on legal bills that are of interest related to our religious beliefs and other interest stories. It is simple yet informative. It was a pleasant surprise when I started listening as to how nice it was to listen to!
