Renzo and Monica share stories, advice, and encouragement for everyday Catholics navigating the human side of a faith-filled marriage.

Their honesty and wisdom offer hope to couples who want to find confidence in their vocation to marriage through a candid and faithful discussion.

Their latest title, Lovemaking: How to Talk about Sex with Your Spouse was published through Ave Maria Press.

Their testimonies of faith, marriage, and parenting have been featured by the National Catholic Register, the Knights of Columbus, and Augustine Institute.

Catholic Education and All About Lent with Katie Bogner
In this episode, we chatted with Katie Bogner, teacher and catechist (and blogger from LookToHimAndBeRadiant.com). Covering topics related to her experience teaching in both public and Catholic school as well as working parish catechetical ministry, we discussed school choice, obstacles and challenges she sees her middle schoolers facing, and ways that families can vibrantly live their Catholic faith together, especially through the lens of the liturgical year.
We also talked about Katie's brand new book, All about Lent & Holy Week: Sharing the Seasons of Repentance & Salvation with Children.
Katie wrote the book alongside illustrator and designer Shari Van Vranken, whom you might know as the talented "Saint Lady" behind CatholicPaperGoods.com. All about Lent is like a handbook for families for the whole Lenten Season.
It highlights the many treasures of prayer and tradition of this holy season, making it easy to share truth and beauty (but in perfect bite sized pieces and kid friendly language). Even though we might think of Lent as being a season that is difficult to share with children, it really is a perfect invitation for Catholics of all ages to pray and fast and give together. All about Lent & Holy Week is available from StPaulCenter.com we're so happy you're here with us, let's jump in!
