Schedule Change, Prayer Life with Bishop Callahan & Updates from Casa Hogar Peru

Host Jack Socha explains a temporary schedule change for Relevant Radio and introduces new listeners to Connecting the Diocese, the Diocese of La Crosse’s weekly radio program available online and as a podcast. He describes how the diocese communicates through multiple media and why radio remains accessible, then shares excerpts featuring Bishop William Patrick Callahan on developing a prayer life, a short prayer, vocations, priestly formation, ordination reflections, and the universal call to holiness. The episode includes commentary on COVID-19 vaccination and safety, updates from Casa Hogar Juan Pablo II in Peru with children describing pandemic life and a 17-year-old preparing to age out, plus mention of Monsignor Joseph Hirsch’s upcoming U.S. visit and the Men’s Conference on Oct. 23.
