The Little Flower Didn't Wilt
2026/10/01
There's a version of St. Therese of Lisieux's life that just talks about her happiness in the convent and her understanding of "the little way" to holiness. But early in her life, Therese suffered greatly, experiencing loss and anxiety while bullied in school. Her struggles then, and the invasion of grace in her life in a profound way one Christmas Eve, is what led her to this little way to holiness, and Katie tells the story of her personal patron, St. Therese of Lisieux, on today's show.

2026/09/29
Relics are a long standing tradition in the life of the Church, and on September 24, the major first class relic of Bl. Fulton J. Sheen, his mandible, was presented publicly at his beatification Mass. Msgr. Jason Gray and Bishop Lou Tylka explained at the Celebrate Sheen show why this was chosen for public veneration, and Katie explores how relics help us feel tethered to the beloved dead, especially those in heaven.

Bishop Barron's New Movie: Heaven in Stone and Glass
2026/09/18
Whenever a pilgrim or tourist steps foot into a sacred space, like a Gothic cathedral, they learn something of the Lord, whether they realize it or not.

Happy Birthday, Pope Leo XIV
2026/09/14
71 years young today, Pope Leo XIV has a childhood story not all that different from most Catholic Americans. His parents worked in education, volunteered at Church, he went to Catholic schools his whole life, pursued the priesthood and ministry, went on to grad school and served as a missionary in Peru. Today, we celebrate his life and ministry, and wish him the happiest of birthdays!
Will AI kill us all?
2026/09/10

The Priest of the Port: St. Peter Claver
2026/09/09
He would go down to the port to greet the slave ships, bringing fruit and citrus to help cure the scurvy so many of the enslaved men and women suffered from as they were transported across the Atlantic. Preaching to the enslaved and the slaver alike, St. Peter Claver's mission was clear: treat everyone with dignity, and preach the goodness of the human person and the love of Jesus, especially to those held captive.
I'm Depressed, Now What? A new book from Tommy Tighe
2026/09/08
“When we’re feeling depressed, we can’t really count on our brains to help us figure out ways to cope,” Tighe explains. “But we can pull out a playbook we’ve put together ahead of time to remind us of the tools we can use to find that peace we so desperately desire.”
Tommy Tighe joins Katie McGrady to deep dive into his latest from Ave Maria Pres

Mom & Dad's "Meet Cute"
2026/09/01
