Podcasts about Catholic campus ministry

Today's witness Wednesday will be a bit different than usual. Today I am going to read you two blog posts written by Father David Barnes.  He was the Spiritual Director at St. John's Seminary in Boston in 2014 when these posts were written. He was ordained a priest of the Archdiocese of Boston in 1997. The two blog posts were written about a Eucharist procession that took place in 2014 from MIT to Harvard. It was in response to a “black mass” which was to be held that same night and the administration at the college refused to intervene. There are a few reasons I wanted to talk with you about this today. First, there is a Eucharist Procession this weekend right here in Lowell, MA, for anyone who is listening to this and who lives locally. It is on November 26th at 11 am at St. Rita's Parish. The other one is because I have heard this story at least twice over the last month, and I feel it is one that should be repeated. We tend to get scared watching the news. We feel as though evil is taking over, and we can sometimes feel helpless. This story shows us we are not helpless. It shows us good defeats evil. The Lord has already won the war of good vs. evil. He will always be victorious!The First Blog article is titled A Beautiful Night to be Catholic in the Archdiocese of Boston and was written by Father David Barnes on Tuesday, May 13, 2014.  CLICK HERE to go to Father David Barnes' BlogIt's a little after Midnight, and I am just getting in after participating in a magnificent evening.  Hundreds of Catholics joined in a Eucharistic Procession down Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge from the MIT chapel to St. Paul's in Harvard Square.  There, we spent a period of time in prayer.  The purpose of the evening was to pray in reparation for a planned Satanic Mass on the campus of Harvard University.  The procession, which passed MIT and Central Square, was a site to behold.  People were coming out of restaurants--some kneeling on the sidewalks, others blessing themselves, and some just staring in bewilderment.  Many of the servers who organized the procession were from Juventutem Boston.  That is the Traditional Latin Mass Community of young people.  They did an impressive job.  It's not easy to keep us priests organized.  The procession ended at St. Paul's in Harvard Square. When we arrived, the church--which I suppose holds about 1000 people--was already filled to capacity. So hundreds of those who walked in procession were left standing on the street outside of St. Paul's. As I looked out at the congregation, I saw many people from my previous assignment in Beverly.  They traveled a good distance to be there.  It makes me proud to have been in a parish of people who love the Eucharist so much that they would come to this event.  In the procession, I saw many students from Boston University (where I serve as Chaplain).  It was so inspiring to see their witness.  The unsung hero of the event, in my opinion, was Fr. Richard Clancy, who is the Chaplain at MIT and who is the Director for Catholic Campus Ministry in the Archdiocese of Boston. He was the one who came up with the idea of a Eucharistic Procession.  Although he doesn't look for accolades, he deserves some today. Tonight, I spent several hours with Catholics from all over the Archdiocese of Boston--young and old, students, married people, priests, seminarians, religious men and women, lay people--who all love the Eucharist.  That's what being a Catholic is.  I'm grateful to have experienced their powerful witness tonight.The second blog article is titled The Harvard Eucharistic Procession Was Beautiful . . . But Now What? This was written on Tuesday, May 13, 2014.  CLICK HERE to go to Father David Barnes' BlogThe decision of a student group at Harvard University to host a "black mass" on its campus precipitated a massive response from Catholics around Boston, the United States, and even the world.  I've heard of parishes all over the United States that held Holy Hours at the time of the scheduled event at Harvard.  As I mentioned previously, I participated in a magnificent Eucharistic Procession from the campus of MIT to St. Paul's in Harvard Square.  Hundreds of Catholics followed the Eucharistic Lord down the main street in Cambridge, where thousands of onlookers witnessed the flock following the Eucharistic Good Shepherd.I'm not always a huge fan of "big events" because I feel like those things can be used as a substitute for true faith.  Sometimes, they feel as though the effort that goes into planning and executing them far outweighs the benefits.  They sometimes feel designed as a publicity stunt or as a way of evoking a strong emotional reaction, but the effects seem short-lived.  Last night's Eucharistic Procession had a different feel.  As I looked about and saw the many young college students from area universities participating, I was touched by their love for the Eucharist and their sincere desire to follow Christ. During the past year, one thing that has really struck me about the college students whom I encounter every day is their Eucharistic Faith.  Quite often, as I am standing outside of church on a Sunday before Mass, I am asked, "Father, do you have time for a quick confession?"  Similarly, for thirty minutes each day before Daily Mass, I hear confessions.  It is rare for there to be a day that nobody comes.  I also noticed this at Mass itself.  At every Sunday Mass, there are young people who come up in the communion line and ask for a blessing rather than receive the Eucharist.  Presumably, having examined their conscience, they do not want to receive the Eucharist until they have received the Sacrament of Penance.I find all of this very striking.  These young people are not scrupulous or legalistic.  They are not tied up in knots.  Instead, they strike me as being young people who simply love the Lord and who want to approach Him and receive Him with devotion and love.  Their love for the Eucharist and the ease with which they approach the Sacrament of Penance is a beautiful witness to Christ and His Grace.  I benefit from their example.All of this comes to mind for me today as I think about the "big event" of the Eucharistic Procession and the blasphemous "satanic mass" that precipitated it.  I am reminded of my own need to deepen continually my devotion to the Eucharist.  These events beckon all of us to examine ourselves and to renew our love for the Blessed Sacrament.  Do I love the Eucharist?  Do I live a life that is coherent with the Eucharist that I receive?  Do I humbly examine myself before approaching to receive the Eucharist?  Do I spend time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament and make visits to be with the Lord in the Eucharist?  Do I receive the Eucharist with reverence, or am I distracted, careless, or even willful?  In this instance, the "big event" ought to cause all of us who are Catholic to become more coherent in our lives.  While we were rightly outraged at the intended sacrilege of the Eucharist by others, we ought to make certain that we do not simply become "protesters" in our relationship to the Eucharist. Instead, we ought to become more Eucharistic in our daily life.  This "big event" ought to deepen our desire to grow in Eucharistic intimacy.  We want to make sure that we ourselves are not sacrilegious, blasphemous, or careless.  I think the "big event" of the Eucharistic Procession will bear the most fruit if it is followed by Catholics everywhere examining our own consciences and humbly confessing our sins and receiving absolution.  For me, the Eucharist Procession was an amazing witness of people showing their love for the Eucharist.  In my life, however, the far more powerful and convincing witness of Eucharistic Faith is seeing the daily procession of college students making their way to the confessional. Both of these articles demonstrate how powerful the Eucharist is and also the power of taking Jesus, in Eucharistic Form, to the streets. People recognize and can feel His presence even if they don't know what they are feeling. If you have not participated in a Eucharistic Procession, I recommend you try to find one. They are so powerful, and it is so beautiful to see Jesus processing down the streets. It is one thing to love Jesus in the comfort and security of our churches. It is quite another to love Him out on the streets. I have placed a link to a video of the procession in the show notes. CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO If you have a few minutes, I know you will be blessed by watching it. I hope you enjoyed hearing about this amazing event and the effect it had on so many!

For most colleges around the country, it's time for students to head back to campus. Once they get there, where can Catholics and those looking for the Faith go to find a welcoming community? On many campuses, they need not look further than their local Newman House or Catholic Campus Ministry. On today's episode, Kari welcomes her colleague from Stockton University's Catholic Campus Ministry, Britany Shields, on to the show, along with one of her own Rowan Catholic Campus Ministry E-Board members, Katarina Henry. The three of them explain what a rich community a Catholic Campus Ministry offers and why any student should consider visiting the ministry to find an open door, a bite to eat, some fellowship, and of course a place to express and discern their faith.   To learn more about Stockton Catholic Campus Ministry, visit http://www.stocktonccm.com   To learn more about Rowan Catholic Campus Ministry, visit https://www.stbridgetup.org/rowan-catholic-campus-ministry Listen to Talking Catholic everywhere podcasts can be found, at https://talking.catholicstarherald.org/show/talking-catholic, or catch us on Domestic Church Media radio Sundays at 11 AM or Mondays at 4 PM domesticchurchmedia.org.

Father Remi Morales talks to us about the challenges college students face. Fr. Remi talks to us about how they go about evangelizing on campus and how students encounter Catholicism. Father Remi Morales is a Catholic priest dealing with student life and student ministry at the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. Father Remigio Morales is a priest of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae (Sodality of Christian Life) currently serving as DRE (RCIA and Pre Cana programs) at St. Agatha and St. James parish and the Penn and Drexel Newman Centers in Philadelphia. At the same time is leading the Grad Students, the Latino and the Athletes Catholic ministries for Penn and Drexel students.

“Never be afraid to accept your vocation. Because God will supply what we need.” Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican are joined by Fr. Matthew Hood. Together they discuss Fr. Matt's journey from asking big questions about the Faith in high school to being ordained a priest. After spending eight years in seminary, Fr. Matt has served the Archdiocese of Detroit in parish and school ministry. He offers advice for men discerning: “If God has given you even the smallest desire for the priesthood, pursue it. That doesn't happen often.” Show Notes: (00:03) Fr. Craig Giera and Fr. David Pellican welcome us to this episode of Men of the Hearts. This month's guest is Fr. Matthew Hood, the chaplain for Detroit Catholic Campus Ministry which serves Wayne State University and the University of Michigan – Dearborn as well as the surrounding campuses. He shares about his summer abroad in Brazil on a mission trip with FOCUS, Fellowship of Catholic University Students. (10:40) The Costco King: the hosts and Fr. Matt play a game related to opinions about Costco. Fr. Craig announces the winner of the competition will be announced at the end of the episode. (16:33) Fr. Matt's vocation story: In high school, Fr. Matt found himself asking many big questions about faith while attending St. Joseph Parish in Lake Orion. He found that the Catholic Church offered the answers to every question he proposed in a more profound manner, allowing him to trust and surrender. He began to desire not just to know God but also to develop a relationship with Him. Spending time in the local Eucharistic Adoration chapel is where he first felt a desire for the priesthood. (20:15) While before the Lord in Eucharistic Adoration, Fr. Matt began praying with Scripture, particularly the passage of Jesus calling the disciples on the Sea of Galilee in which he felt the Lord telling him “To follow Him, throw down my nets, put out into the deep” as a priest. But he pushed the thought to the side. (25:51) From questions to his vocation: Fr. Matt explains in more detail the journey from asking questions to considering the priesthood. In encountering Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life, he felt the Lord kept placing the call to the priesthood on his heart. Fr. Matt enrolled at Central Michigan University his freshmen year and participated in Catholic Campus Ministry which helped to further confirm his vocation to the priesthood. (31:34) The process of entering seminary: joy, friendship, and fraternity played a pivotal role for Fr. Matt. He applied and was accepted to the seminary, where he found the first year challenging. He was tempted to feel “I'm not holy enough, I'm not worthy enough.” He was challenged by doubts and an experience of feeling undeserving of the priesthood. (43:25) Life as a priest: The priests talk about Fr. Matt's experience of working at Divine Child parish and school. He then describes how he lives out his priesthood walking with college students, including hosting events for exploring the Faith and deepening one's conversion. Fr. Matt recommends finding a priest as a spiritual director to help guide a man considering a vocation to the priesthood. “What might be the next step?” They discuss key advice for how to discern if God is calling a man to the priesthood. “God speaks to us in silence. If there is a small desire for priesthood, pay attention to it, have courage, don't be afraid, and seek it.” Fr. Matt closes the episode in prayer.

In this episode, Nathan and Anna Lulis tackle some of the toughest questions people in the Pro-Life movement get confronted with by those who are pro-choice/pro-abortion. We hope that this equips you to be better prepared to answer those questions or helps bring clarity to your own position on this most controversial of topics! Anna Lulis grew up in Broad Run, Virginia and graduated from Liberty University after studying Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Computational Sciences and Business. Anna was always pro-life; however, became passionate about the pro-life movement in her college years. Through the Catholic Campus Ministry, she got progressively more involved in the pro-life group on her campus. As she further studied the severe implications of abortion extremism and the history of the pro-life movement in America, she developed a deeper desire to fight for life. Anna currently resides in Washington, D.C. and serves the Pro-Life Generation as Students for Life's Data Strategist. Follow Anna @annalulis on Instagram and check out @studentsforlife as well!

Hosts: Fr. Greg Sakowicz and Mark Teresi. Segment I: Amanda Thompson, Director of Catholic Campus Ministry at DePaul University, talks about Catholics on campus. Segment II: Fr. Hans Zollner and Mr. Juan Carlos Cruz talk about safeguarding children in the church. Fr. Zollner is one of the world's leading experts in the area of safeguarding minors. He is the President of the Centre for Child Protection at the Pontifical Gregorian Institute in Rome, a member of the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, and a consultor to the Vatican's Congregation for Clergy. Juan Carlos Cruz is an advocate for victim-survivors and a survivor himself. He influenced the Pope to set the stage for the global Church to move away from thinking that survivors want to destroy the Church, but instead, to partner with victims as they move forward with their lives as Catholics.

This week we sit down with members of Stockton University’s Catholic Campus Ministry - director Alison Filion, student president Dom Villanueva, and student secretary Catherine Cendana. Our hosts Kari Janisse and Mike Walsh chat with the trio about how the campus ministry helps students maintain their faith, how the ministry interacts with students, and why college students should make an effort to join a campus ministry or Newman House/Club (which can be found on almost every college campus in the United States.)

This week we sit in on a presentation on the recent “Share the Journey” pilgrimage, offered through Catholic Charities, Diocese of Camden, with student pilgrims from Rowan University's Catholic Campus Ministry. Earlier this year, 14 missionary disciples- including college students from Rowan, Stockton University, and Rutgers-Camden traveled to a humanitarian respite center in McAllen, Texas, meeting and providing aid to migrants along the U.S,/Mexico border. You will hear these young people share their powerful experiences living out the Gospel, and going to the margins of society.

On Wednesday, October 10, 2018, host Gene Wilhelm spoke over the phone with John Smith, the Director of Development for St. Peter's Catholic Student Center in Waco, Texas which serves the campus of Baylor University. John not only introduced himself and talked about his background, but also described the vibrant Catholic life on offer to Catholic students at the university. The spiritual fruits from Mass and confession are enriched through fellowship dinners, Eucharistic adoration, and service projects. John gave compelling evidence that St. Peter's is forming a new generation of Catholics striving to live lives of personal holiness.

The hour also includes a shared love of all things French-Canadian, and the dangers of recording podcasts in the morning (at least when night-owl Mike is the co-host).

Road Trip! This week, Pete and Mike leave the friendly confines of "the vault" in Camden to travel down to Glassboro where they meet with Nina Camaioni, Coordinator of Catholic Campus Ministry at Rowan University. Our hosts enjoyed the warm, welcoming atmosphere and comfy couches at the ministry center, and discuss with Nina how students live their Catholic faith on campus; what youth desire from their Church; and how the ministry provides a home for them.
