In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by my new friend (and potential blood relative) Father Joseph-Anthony Kress, OP to talk about the surge of recent Catholic converts, the role of the saints and the rosary in this conversion wave, and why non-Catholic Christians considering Catholicism shouldn't be afraid of giving the rosary – an ancient, powerful prayer practice rooted in Scripture – a try! 

It's a great conversation with a wonderfully generous and cordial Dominican! The best kind! 

For more from Fr. Kress check out the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage. You can also listen to him on the Godsplaining podcast.
