  • Thank you Father Michael

    Enjoying your show. Thank you for the in-depth catechism of our Catholic faith.

    During my operation this year, God’s graces were abundant & evident in that sterile hospital. When I came out of anesthesia, it was a true servant of God-a priest, who was praying for me in the recovery room. I take comfort knowing that God is with us always.

  • Catholic in Zimbabwe

    I was in the Seminary in Zimbabwe and have since lost respect for Catholic (In Zimbabwe). You will need to be rich to be catholic. Poor catholics cannot

    afford to attend mass, cannot afford to invite a catholic priest to a funeral Mass as this cost a fortune, especially with the financial situation in Zimbabwe. Why are catholics paying for services like Mass and for sacraments like baptism and confirmation?

  • Edification with Humor

    This show is amazing. It combines the humor of a morning shock-jock radio show with the edification of a great homily. Fr. Michael Nixon is a great addition to the show with his clear teaching and humility. A must watch for anyone who wants to learn more about the faith with a sense of humor.
