We continue to introduce our podcast partners, and this week's feature is The Catholic Passage Podcast, hosted by John Sandy!

The mission of the Catholic Passage podcast is to create “passageways” for the Catholic faith to be handed down from one generation to the next in all its depth and abundance, something particularly important for Catholic families living rural life. Host John Sandy interviews Catholics from a wide variety of backgrounds, from priests to artists to journalists. These conversations highlight how the Catholic faith has the power to transform and renew our lives and our culture, whether in urban or rural life.
