High Turnout Wide Margins recently traveled to the 40th annual Election Center conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, and spoke with election administrations and officials from across the county about how they do the work of elections in their communities. In this episode, hosts Eric Fey and Brianna Lennon speak with Lisa Marie Manning Bridges, the Registrar of Voters in the Parish of Orleans in Louisiana. They spoke about the unique nature of Louisiana elections, how the work is divvied up by different parish offices and how the parish works alongside the Louisiana Secretary of State to serve their voters.

Offering hospitality is a great way to show appreciation and be welcoming to the priests in your life. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. are joined by William Tishuk, Production Coordinator at Catholic Apostolate Center, to discuss what are some methods people can use to help their priests feel more welcomed and a part of the larger community.Our priests do so much to take care of us and we can show our gratitude by inviting them over for dinner, remembering their ordination anniversaries, and collaborating in the ministries they are a part of. We as Christians are all journeying to Heaven together and our priests are part of our family of faith. Incorporating priests in our family life helps them feel a part of the larger community. If there are priests from other countries, then we can recognize that they may feel home sick at times. These moments are excellent opportunities to cook a meal for them to eat in the rectory during the busy times of the year. When we remember that priests and laity are all children of the Heavenly Father, we can collaborate with them more effectively and treat them as extended members of our family. Related On Mission episodes:Catholic HospitalityPriestly Ministry Beyond the ParishSpiritual Fatherhood From the Ad Infinitum blog:National Vocation Awareness Week: Vocational DiscernmentMore posts about Priesthood Check out the main Saints and Feast Days websiteDownload the App on the App Store or Google Play Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify On Mission is produced by the Catholic Apostolate Center.

TGIF! Father Anthony with Tony, and Cristina gather to discuss the goings on, and people in the Parish.  Today Father opens the show sharing sadness over the priest who took his life, which leads the group to chat about priestly life and the many demands and challenges, especially with the changing times where there are much less priests available.  Father shares about his challenges day to day and transitions to how every person has challenges, there is no escaping and we need to figure out how to face it.  We need to remove focus on self and help others; it is in helping others that we offer healing to them and heal ourselves in the process. In praying and serving others we find healing!  St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish  

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.

They're not sustained by participants or materials alone, but by vision, culture, and structure.

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.

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 leads us in much needed prayer to open the show.  Afterward he welcomes Alice Babij (pronounced Bobby) of the St Nicholas Ukrainian Cathedral.  She joins Father to discuss the life, the miracles, the wonderful short life story of one of our newly canonized saints: Saint Carlo Acutis (1991-2006).  Alice shares the huge impact Carlo Acutis had in his short life of 15years as captured in the book “My Highway to Heaven” by Rev Scott Haynes.  Carlo Acutis' message encourages people to remain unique to themselves.  The hope is that this current day saint can be a true model for our youth today.  St. Stanislaus Kostka 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."

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

Amen!! After break we regroup and start anew, Father discusses a few articles that have been written after the assassination of Charlie Kirk. One article in particular addresses a noticeable increase in church attendance. Another addresses the urgent need to reject relativism-Father was just speaking to this last week Friday, how timely he is. The group goes ahead and chats regarding these topics, always coming back to God is needed, He is the center and prayer is key! St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish

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
