Recorded shortly after Fr. Steven celebrated his final Mass at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, Fr. Steven and Dad take time to reflect on transitions, gratitude, and the many graces of the past two years in Merrillville. Looking back on his time at OLQM, Fr. Steven shares memories of the people he encountered, the lessons he learned, and the blessings he both received and was privileged to give in priestly ministry.
Dad offers a unique perspective of his own, speaking about what it has been like to be the father of a priest and how blessed he has been to share life with the parishioners of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs. Together, they reflect on the relationships formed, the joy of parish life, and the bittersweet nature of saying goodbye.
The episode concludes with an exciting announcement: Father & Dad will be recording a live podcast at the Emmaus Conference for the Diocese of Gary on August 22 at the Porter County Expo Center in Valparaiso. As one chapter closes and another begins, Fr. Steven and Dad invite listeners to continue walking this journey of faith with them, trusting that God’s grace is present in every transition.
