Luis, an American Catholic, explains how rediscovering his faith, and ‘building a channel’ to share that faith, are two interwoven strands in his life. Hear how Luis uses AI with care, to educate about the gospel, the liturgical seasons and the saints. He is especially concerned to reach those for whom an in-person encounter feels too hard as a first step.Find out moreLuis’ Holy Reels ministryA new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] on Substack to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic CommunityOn Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe

Jacintha shares how her faith has been shaped by important encounters with others, through academic study, nursing, teaching, and now ‘being with’ companion members of the National Board of Catholic Women. Living with a chronic illness, as well as finding joy and beauty, Jacintha’s experiences reach into the messiness and suffering of life. She explains how, on accompanying each other in these moments, she has found that ‘The gaze is widened and you see the face of Christ.’Find out moreNational Board of Catholic WomenQALY (Quality-Adjusted Life Year) information from UK governmentA new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] on Substack to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic CommunityOn Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe

In this conversation, Anne-Marie, a palliative care doctor says that for her, death, while sad, is ‘ultimately not the end of the person’s spiritual life, of the soul.’ She explains what she has found helps to support people who are nearing the end of life, and their families. Anne-Marie shares the questions many people ask when they know ‘time is short’, and how people who are dying can take on a beautiful role, ‘a kind of parting gift to people…working through conversations that they no longer want to shy away from.’A new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] on Substack to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic CommunityOn Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe

The second of a two-part conversation with Roy Peachey. Although he admits being late to recognise our Catholic understanding that ‘parents are the first, the primary, educators of their children,’ Roy explains how his family have benefitted from home-schooling, with the support of others. Inspired by the start of the letter to the Ephesians, Roy unpicks the story of our journey ‘from before the foundation of the world to everything being united in Christ.’ Finally he reads from his latest children’s book about Jack and his ‘very chaotic’ family. A book that makes a link back to Mary’s Meals the wonderful charity where Roy also works.Find out moreMary’s MealsJack’s Acorn by Roy PeacheyA new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic CommunityOn Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe

The second of our 2-parter from the We Believe festival. Some All Kinds of Catholic pod guests are back! First, behind-the-scenes conversations with Alex, Ethel and Helena, members of the Catholic Podcaster Network, exploring who we are, what we do and why: ‘You can be sat there thinking, Is anyone listening?’ Then a chance to follow along on the mini St Francis pilgrimage, in the 800th year since his death, led by Phil McCarthy. He invited us to walk in silence. We listened to the words of St Francis, on gentle paths through the trees but as you’ll hear, we were never far from the joyful energy of the families at the Festival: ‘The fullness of peace and joy in your Son and in the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.’Find out moreCatholic Podcaster NetworkEpisode 107, Alex, and her Milk and Honey Prayer podThings I Wish I Knew, podcast produced by Ethel for Thinking Faith, a work of the Jesuits.Episode 95, Helena, and Radio Maria UKEpisode 68, National Jubilee Pilgrimage of Hope, Phil McCarthy and Hearts in Search of God We Believe FestivalA new episode, a different conversation, every Wednesday!Email me: [email protected] on Substack to receive our newsletter and be part of the All Kinds of Catholic CommunityOn Facebook, Instagram, Bluesky X/Twitter @KindsofCatholicThe podcast is kindly supported by the Sisters of the Holy Cross and by CAFOD.Music: Greenleaves from Audionautix.com Get full access to All Kinds of Catholic at allkindsofcatholic.substack.com/subscribe
