Today we sit down with Fr. Joe Tatro to discuss his pickleball skills and his training as a mental health professional and how that impacts his ministry as a priest. Finally he shares his vocation story, which might hold the record for shortest amount of time between his decision to enter to arrival at the seminary.

Sr. Bernadette Rose of the Little Sisters of the Poor joins us today to share about St. Jeanne Jugan and the founding of her community, the time she met Pope Francis, and the story of her own personal call to give her life as a bride of Christ dedicated to the care and service of the elderly poor.

We go a bit unconventional today and begin with a fierce debate as we draft our favorite kings ever. We conclude by discussing ways we seek to form future priests into "kings" who can be strong leaders who establish culture and unite groups under the mission of Christ and their parish.

Fr. Andrew Walsh joins the podcast to defend himself against accusations of grumpiness and to explain his love for both St. Alphonsus Liguori and disc golf before sharing his vocation story.

Today Fr. Michael Kerschen joins us to discuss the joys of non-monetary gambling, Fr. Garett's poor medical recommendations, and devastating seminary basketball losses that never go away. We eventually get to his vocation story in which the Lord used a difficult break up to lead him to seminary and ultimately an invitation to freely choose to unite to Jesus as His priest.

Today we've got Fr. Luke Downing in the studio to talk with us about learning to fly planes, his love for both golf and French cooking before sharing his vocational journey through seminary, in and out of the monastery, and now as a priest of Jesus Christ.

A special episode today as we join the universal Church in prayer for the Papal Conclave. We seek to shed a little light on the process of electing a new pope and how we can all strike the balance of enjoying the moment with understanding informed by faith, zeal for souls and free of anxiety.

Today we began by chatting about what we were up to this past spring break before getting into our observations about a ministry called Christ in the City, which helped to illuminate why it is so important for every Christian disciple, seminarian and priest to have experiences serving and loving the poor.
