What started out as a once a week podcast to keep me and the clergy sane during the Covid lockdowns has turned into an apostolate that is way more than a podcast. This past year, to meet the spiritual needs of those living with chronic pain, we started an online group that meets once a week comprised of 70 people from around the country led by Father Larry. We offer several retreats a year both locally and regionally. We participated in parish missions, and morning and evening recollections. We partnered with a crisis pregnancy center this year to raise funds and awareness for their cause. We offer our daily "Considerations From the Clergy" podcast to get you through your commute or workout. We are proud to announce that we will release a 4-part video series on Advent in early December, launched our YouTube channel and have many more new products on the way.
All of this however takes money. We added more clergy to our team this year which involved two more remote studio setups. Storage, computing power, equipment to enhance your listening experience and all of the other associated costs really add up. For those who have generously donated in the past, we thank you. To those who discovered our products this year, thanks for listening!
Two different ways to financially support us. One time checks may be made out to Sacred Heart Church with "podcast" written on the memo line and sent to:

For better or for worse, we just launched our YouTube channel!
While the daily and weekly podcasts will be audio only on the channel, it does give us a platform to post our priest's videos from morning/evening recollections, retreats, and other talks as well the option to do live events.
Please take a moment to subscribe to our channel and tell your friends.
In addition to our weekly podcast, each morning we release a daily reflection podcast on the readings/Saint of the day by one of the priests.
In it's third iteration, we're now calling it "Considerations from the Clergy." Perfect for those who can't attend daily Mass, need a spiritual fix at lunch, or to make the commute home more tolerable.

St. Lidwina was a Dutch saint who was injured in a fall while ice skating. As a result of her injuries, she was bedridden for the rest of her life and endured excruciating pain. Yet she quietly accepted this suffering and prayed constantly during her many years of agony. Her feast day is celebrated on April 14th.
Do you or someone you love suffer from chronic pain? Does this impact your/their spiritual lives? Are you/they finding it difficult to carry this cross?
Father Larry Swink has started an online apostolate aimed at those who suffer from chronic pain--a cause he can all too well identify with. It will be a forum for those to share their struggles and for Father to give Catholic advice on how to better carry this cross as well as a venue to share online Healing Masses and prayers. The next online meeting is Monday 1/27/25 at 7pm Eastern.
