The Catholic Cafe

Is Lent just a liturgical season of the Church that you just "endure?" Has it lost it's meaning for you? Do you want to change that? Do you want to make Lent really matter? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they discuss how we can discover how to get more out of Lent by looking closer at how Jesus prepared for his ow temptation in the desert by the devil.

Is your prayer life a little stale? Or is it non-existent? This happens more than you might think...even to those you perceive to be the holiest of people. So what's a soul to do when they feel God is not present to them in prayer? Should you just give up? Join Deacon Jeff and Tom in the Luxurious Corner Booth as they share ten of their favorite, sure-fire, highly recommended ways to improve your prayer life!

Join Deacon Jeff as he talks with Deacon Bill Ditewig about the upcoming changes and their purpose and meaning in the Liturgy as promulgated in the 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal.

These are certainly very tough times for many, but perhaps we can see some possibilities for a renewal of grace in our lives as we seek to navigate through the difficulties.

Join us in the Luxurious Corner Booth of the FRENCH Catholic Cafe as Deacon Jeff and sidekick Fra Tom Mulligan welcome their guest, Deacon Johannes Van Voorst, a transitional deacon from Holland who is preparing for his ordination to the priesthood.

You never know who is going to drop into The Catholic Cafe!
