Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
Blessed Junipero Serra came from Spain to North America to help establish the Church in Mexico and in the territories that would later become California. He is best known for establishing the chain of Franciscan missions which pilgrims still visit to this day.
Living Faith
We will meet Adriana Trigiani, a best-selling author and product of a Glenmary Missionary Appalachian parish in southwest Virginia. She grew up as a minority in a small Appalachian town. Her experience with Glenmary helped to shape who she is today.
Ask a Franciscan
Father Don Miller answers questions: Is cohabitation before marriage a mortal sin? Can I be refused a Church wedding because of cohabitation?
Minute Meditation
This program’s Minute Meditation is from "Living a Spirituality of Action: A Woman's Perspective," by Joan Mueller. SAMP.
Portrait of Paul
The Acts of Paul, Part III
In observance of the Year of St. Paul, Father Norm Langenbrunner continues to explore "The Acts of Paul," an early Church writing that did not make the official list of inspired New Testament Scriptures. Father Norm tells us the strange story of  an encounter between St. Paul and a talking lion!
Exploring Our Faith

He's a priest of the Diocese of Rochester, New York, the founding president of the International Thomas Merton Society, and a prolific author. On today's program, he discusses the Resurrection of Jesus.
