Are we actually a “melting pot”… or three of them? On Today's Episode, we unpack Will Herberg's 1955 idea of the Triple Melting Pot—how 20th-century immigrants didn't just blend into one “American,” but largely assimilated along religious lines: Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish. We track how parish schools, marriage patterns, and urban political machines forged identity—and how that fed party politics from Boston ward bosses to Nixon's “silent majority.” Then we fast-forward: shifting definitions of “whiteness,” interfaith marriage today, and what current immigration waves might mean for the next American identity.

What does it really take to spark a movement in your parish? Small groups are both easier—and more challenging—than we think. They're not sustained by participants or materials alone, but by vision, culture, and structure. In this episode, I share why small groups can be pandemic-proof, recession-proof, even persecution-proof—if they're rooted in mission, shaped by a culture of accompaniment, and supported by strong leadership structures. Discover how to build small groups that don't just care for those inside the room, but expand outward to transform your parish and beyond.

Today is September 28, 2025, the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time. Our celebrant was Fr. Lee Hellwig.This week, Father Hellwig challenged us to reflect on the dangers of complacency in our faith. From Amos' warning to those “complacent in Zion” to Jesus' parable of the rich man and Lazarus, we were reminded that the greatest sin is often not what we do, but what we fail to do. The rich man's downfall came from ignoring Lazarus at his very gate.St. Paul urges us to “fight the good fight of faith” - to actively pursue righteousness, devotion, and love. Father Hellwig reminded us that true faith isn't passive; it requires action, compassion, and responsibility.Each of us is called to respond to the needs around us, not waiting for others or larger systems to step in. Faith comes alive when we move beyond words and into loving action. Let us not be complacent, but courageous and compassionate, serving those nearest to us.Permission to stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license # A-735133.

Father Anthony with Tony, and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. After prayer Father Anthony and the group chat about the need for God to be the center of life. With God and prayer, you can get through today and each day, but you must be humble and accept this reality and build a relationship with the Lord. The group discusses love, relationships and the practicality of life that one must consider. Father reminds us that life is not easy, was not intended to be but that we need to allow God to liberate us and allow His will for our lives to be. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish    

Dive into this uplifting Double Edged Sword Podcast episode exploring Acts 15, where the Jerusalem Council, guided by the Holy Spirit, ruled against requiring circumcision for Gentile believers, fulfilling rather than abolishing the Old Covenant. Led by Peter, James, and Paul, their decision reflects a unified church, contrasting today's 45,000 denominations split by personal views and deception. Highlighting uniform liturgy, baptism's salvific role, and the Spirit's guidance over mere Scripture (1 Corinthians 1:10, 14:40), this episode urges unity in apostolic truth. Prophets Judas and Silas strengthened faith, not false predictions, as Antioch rejoiced in love and truth (1 Corinthians 13). Embrace Christ's unchanging Word (Hebrews 4:12) for a harmonious faith. Glory to His name!

Father Anthony with Tony, and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.

Father Anthony with Tony and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. We begin the show with greetings and go right into prayer. After prayer the trio speaks regarding language for a bit that leads into culture and labels.  After the break Father refers to the words of St. Anthony the Great “A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying “You are mad; you are not like us.” They discuss this as Father unpacks the words.  Father Anthony chats about the positive impression he gathered from the Celebration of Life for Charlie Kirk.  They end the show on the thought of persons not praying because they believe that if they are in grave sin that God will not hear them, but that is false. God is open to all including sinners and all should pray to Him. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

Where do we find Jesus in the parable of the Dishonest Manager?

"If anyone claims to live in him, he must walk as Jesus walked." (1 John 2:6) This core principle is the essence of Spark's mission statement, "To Inspire People To Live The Way Of Jesus." In our current socio-political and cultural context, we need a more robust and thorough understanding of this teaching that will help us understand and remedy the confusing, disconnected chasm that exists between so many different expressions of "Christianity."

Morning Light congratulates Holy Cross Chapel as our next Parish of the Week! To celebrate, we share an encore interview of Fr. Paul Wander from back in March during the Spring Pledge Drive.

In this sermon, the Reverend Jacob Smith explains how being lost, helpless, and dead is where God often does the greatest work in our lives.

Fr. Anthony, Tony, and Cristina talk about the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father Anthony opens with prayer after much focus yesterday on the tragic death of Charlie Kirk, Conservative Activist and Co-Founder of Turning Point USA (Conservative Advocacy Group).  After prayer, Father Anthony talks about -ism's: subjectivism, relativism, and hedonism and offers the opinion that these -ism's are destroying our country, as they speak counter to the gospel.  These -ism's keep us from living a God-centered life.  We need to move away from these -ism's that tend to feed individualism and breed narcissism which draw us away from God and faith.  Let us not get angered by this shooting but turn to prayer and focus on God that He may become our center once again. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish  

What does Spirit-filled leadership actually look like in a parish? How can we move beyond just filling roles to raising up missionary disciples? In this episode of the Proclaim Podcast, Krista sits down with Pete Burak to explore how leadership rooted in the Holy Spirit can transform parish life.

Father Anthony with Tony and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish. Father makes the shift to the podcast after just celebrating a funeral this morning.  Talking about funerals, as they were in the past, leads them to step back in time and chat about how things were in the past while acknowledging that even then God was demanding.  Father Anthony points out that the greatest threat to us, the church, and the future of our humanity is our unwillingness to embrace the discipline of our faith.  He calls us to be humble and accept our cross and carry it as we honor the Commandments. St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish  

In this sermon, the Reverend Jacob Smith discusses why Jesus uses the word "hate" and what happens when the cross chooses you.
