Serviam Deo
Serviam Deo is a Catholic podcast for men. As fathers, brothers, sons, etc., we as Catholic men are called to serve God. On Serviam Deo, we talk about the role we play as men in our world. We study sacred scripture, vocations, the history of the Church and other topics important to Catholic men. This is the companion podcast to the men's group at St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church in Wichita, Kansas.
