Raising Saints: Helping Kids Hear God's Voice

Today we are wrapping up the season before the summer with some random questions about the hosts. Can Fr. C wear shorts and sneakers when it's hot? What are some of our favorite Bible stories? How did the Sullivans introduce their children to prayer?

Happy Easter! Today we are talking about Divine Mercy. What is mercy? What is the celebration of Divine Mercy? What is the Divine Mercy chaplet? Well, we pray it at the beginning of the episode. Join us! And we share #HowIHeardGod this week!

You can tell we are stuck at home as we talked for nearly an hour during this episode! Fr. Connolly tells us about all things Holy Week starting with Palm Sunday. (Side note: Fr. C mentions that his church would be giving out palms, but as things change almost daily, this did NOT happen.) Learn about the Chrism Mass, Tenebrae, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In today's episode, Fr. Connolly speaks with the Sullivan children, Samantha, John and Matthew and their very good friends Kaitlyn, Nathan and Madeleine. Each child has a question about the quarantine, Coronavirus and the cancellation of Masses and sacraments.

Today we finish our conversation with Cynthia O'Connor about her daughter who is a religious sister. We talk about the joy of finding your vocation, Fr. Connolly sings a boy band song, and Cynthia tells us about a panini press that had to be returned because of her daughter's vow of poverty! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Why do we flock to our churches to have dirt put on our faces and what’s the significance of the sign of the Cross?

Today we speak with Cynthia O'Connor, mom, grandma and school nurse extraordinaire! Cynthia's daughter, Sister Clare (Anna) is a Sister of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George. We speak with Cynthia on how the family helped their daughter discern her call, what family prayer life was like, and her thoughts about having a child enter religious life, and many more topics. Learn more about Sister Clare's order here on their website. Sister Clare is featured in the video on the homepage.
