THE 15TH STATION PODCAST


August 15, 2016 
Episode 107 — Making Assumptions on our 9th birthday

It's the Solemnity of the Assumption of Our Lady — so that means it's our birthday. The 15th Station celebrates nine years of podcasting with a show that opens with the shocking story of an elderly French priest's murder at the hands of cowardly terrorists. As hard as it is to proceed from such horror, the Holy Father's comments at World Youth Day and some forthright words from a seminary formation director help to refocus on the positivity of the Catholic faith. To show the joy of that faith, the Church needs great witnesses. And Pope Francis wants parish secretaries to be part of that number. Enjoy our birthday show!
