Gratia Plena: A St. Mary Podcast

Michelle Wong, a graduate student at the Augustine Institute who is completing her leadership practicum here at the parish joins us to discuss her conversion to the faith and her experience in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) process. We talk about the Lenten season and how it parallels the Period of Purification & Enlightenment for the Elect preparing for the Easter Sacraments as well as the possibility of God calling us all to purification and enlightenment during the current Coronavirus outbreak.

Father Stefan Zarnay, Parochial Vicar and School Principle at St. Mary Catholic Church, offers advice on how to fully invest ourselves in the Lenten Season. Do not be afraid!

Father Armando Marsal, the Parochial Vicar at St. Mary Parish, joins us to discuss the Virtues. We explore what they are, the different "types" of virtues, how they can help us achieve true happiness and how to grow in virtue. Only when we follow God's will in our lives will we gain authentic and fulfilling happiness.
