What does it mean to be Catholic? What is it like being a Catholic man, husband and father in an age and culture when God is disdained and the faith is seen as non-essential? Short answer? It's HARD! Listen in as three humble and godly men (our words, not theirs) share their insight and stories about their Catholic faith, their personal journeys and their daily work to lead their families to heaven. You think Catholics are private and unemotional? You'd better think again. Be prepared to be inspired.

It is a an encouraging broadcast that will lift your spirits and brighten your day.
