Ready, Willing, & Able

One Year of Ready, Willing, & Able

Office of Education at the Catholic Diocese of Allentown Season 1 Episode 11

The Catholic Parents Podcast “Reading, Willing, and Able,” is coming up on its one-year anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, host Genevieve O’Connor MFA, MTS sits down again with her first ever guest, Dr. Mike St. Pierre.

O’Connor and St. Pierre discuss the success of the podcast, noting its Honorable Mention from the Catholic Media Awards. But the real reason they do the show, they emphasize, is to serve Catholic parents in the Diocese of Allentown, and to help them see how faith is woven into every aspect of their lives.

O’Connor and St. Pierre revisit some of their favorite episodes, highlighting key takeaways from Episode 4: Navigating Modesty with Lillian Fallon and Episode 9: Serve the Lord (and the Ball). O’Connor also reflects on the wealth of resources offered to parents from some of her previous guests, including reading material for kids in Episode 5: The Word Made Flesh and the Words We Read, and resources for activities, reading, and even crafts in Episode 3: Bringing Advent Alive with Bereits.

O’Connor invites listeners to stay tuned for another great year and announces an exciting upcoming guest: Bishop Alfred Schlert!
