Ryian's Coffee Shop

My name is Ryian Louise Hilpisch, and I am the founder of the group for young Catholic moms who feel alone in their vocation, where we intentionally come together in solidarity to support love, and pray for each other. We were first a Facebook group, and now there is a blog, podcast, and Instagram where I talk about faith, motherhood, and other miscellaneous tips, tricks, and topics that will help us take small simple steps towards being more intentional. Hello friends! If you haven't heard yet, the podcast Ryian’s Coffee Shop has rebranded! To get the gist, listen to the episode right before this one! So last week I published a blog post called “How to support young Catholic moms,” and I would say it has kind of gone viral! A friend of mine who was recently ordained a transitional deacon (that means next year he’ll be ordained a priest) asked me to post in my Facebook group a question. “What can the clergy do to support young Catholic moms?” So I did, and 150 comments later, I realized that this was a very important question that probably hasn’t been asked in the grand scheme of things.  So today I wanted to briefly talk about the different categories that came up, and also the next step we should take!  I am making a blog post of responses from priests so that we can build this conversation. So please share the post with your parish and pastor, and ask them to consider emailing me at ryianlouise@gmail.com to add their feedback to the blog post. You can find the blog post at youngandwildcatholicmamas.com You can find the community on Instagram at @youngandwildcatholicmamas and #ywcm  If you are interested in joining the Facebook group, submit a request, and please answer all of the questions.  If you have been a long time listener, please consider leaving a 5 star rating on Apple Podcasts so that more people like you can discover the podcast.  If there is a future topic you would like to hear, let me know on Instagram or Facebook!

Doing some rebranding around here! All blog posts and podcast show notes can be found at youngandwildcatholicmamas.com And follow on Instagram at @youngandwildcatholicmamas and #ywcm!

Throughout Lent, there will be talks, testimonies, and questions to help you reflect. You can use these questions as a discussion with a friend or small group, or just join in on Instagram at @ryianlouise! These next few days we will be thinking about setting up a prayer space. Until next time! You can find the text for this episode on the blog. 

Today, we are reflecting on our February, and hopefully that helps you think about what you will be doing for Lent!   I talk about how I am doing a "little Lent," and I wrote about that on the blog with some suggestions and ideas for you. I also share my personal Lenten plans on the blog.   Let me know your Lenten plans on Instagram!   The Patreon podcast is my answers to the podcast journal prompts.
