From July 24-29, 2022, Pope Francis will be visiting Canada. During the trip, the Pope is set to deliver an apology on Canadian soil for the involvement of Catholic dioceses and religious orders in the operation of residential schools from the 1870s through the 1990s.Residential schools were established under a federal government program which was intended to assimilate Indigenous children into Euro-Canadian culture, and equip them with the education and skills deemed necessary to participate in Canada's economic and social life.In anticipation of the Holy Father's visit, this episode explores Indigenous reconciliation and ministry, major themes and challenges from Pope Francis' pontificate, and whether Canada has a unique contribution to make to the Church's mission in the 21st century.Along the way, we take some scenic detours, including reminiscing about the last time a pope visited Canada for the occasion of World Youth Day in 2002, and reminding ourselves of the importance of continuously building communities of faith.Our guest is John Paul Meenan, Assistant Professor of Theology at Seat of Wisdom College in Barry's Bay, Ontario.

This satisfying summer story, full of nostalgia, has us discussing Sam and Percy's journey through six summers and one weekend in the small town of Barry's Bay. We chat about their slow burn, friends-to-lovers romance, and the impact one decision can have on someone's future.
Every Summer After by Carley Fortune "A radiant debut."—Emily Henry,#1 New York Times bestselling author of Book Lovers INSTANT USA TODAY BESTSELLER! Named One of the Hottest Reads of Summer 2022 by Today ∙ Parade ∙ PopSugar ∙ USA Today ∙ SheReads ∙ BuzzFeed ∙ BookBub ∙ Bustle ∙and more! Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart. Until she receives the call that sends her racing back to Barry's Bay and into the orbit of Sam Florek—the man she never thought she'd have to live without. For six summers, through hazy afternoons on the water and warm summer nights working in his family's restaurant and curling up together with books—medical textbooks for him and work-in-progress horror short stories for her—Percy and Sam had been inseparable. Eventually that friendship turned into something breathtakingly more, before it fell spectacularly apart. When Percy returns to the lake for Sam's mother's funeral, their connection is as undeniable as it had always been. But until Percy can confront the decisions she made and the years she's spent punishing herself for them, they'll never know whether their love might be bigger than the biggest mistakes of their past. Told over the course of six years and one weekend, Every Summer After is a big, sweeping nostalgic story of love and the people and choices that mark us forever.

Tonight's guest, Santiago, was visiting his girlfriend, at her home, in Barry's Bay, in Central-Northern Ontario, Canada, when he had his encounter. It was getting late, about 2 AM, so he decided to head home. He only lived 200 meters, or so, from her, so he didn't have far to go. Normally, no matter how late it was, he'd walk home without any concerns for his safety. That night, though, something didn't feel right to him. He felt as if his safety just might have been at risk. When he got to a stand of hedges, at the edge of her property, he decided to peek around them, to see if there was anything he should be concerned about on the other side. When he did that, he saw that there WAS something to be concerned about.

St. Patrick is the saint we think we know for the Irish, beer, and four-leaf clovers—who many of us don't really know at all. Patrick was an unlearned, kidnapped, and unreligious man who overcame the odds and achieved great things for Christ. First off, St. Patrick wasn't even Irish! He was kidnapped by Irish raiders in Britain. But St. Patrick didn't allow this setback, along with his lack of education or religious upbringing, to stop him from doing what God called him to do.

Heather MacMillan from Heather's Hearth is a professional sourdough bread maker and educator, hosting sourdough classes around the Ottawa and Barry's Bay area (I took her course at MKC!). Heather joins the Zero Waste Countdown to talk about the history of sourdough, fermentation, gut health, and lends us some tips and tricks for getting our own sourdough nice and tasty. Sourdough bread is an important part of my family's zero waste lifestyle, because we keep the loaf in a cupboard upside down on a plate and use it for toast every morning with our own hen's eggs. We don't have to drive into town for bread and eggs, we don't have to buy bread in plastic bags or store the bread in plastic, and we don't have to ingest all those questionable ingredients that are listed on bread from the grocery store.
