Reclaiming Time: How a Liturgical Calendar Transforms Daily Life

After the Homily with Fr. Daniel Scheidt

In this episode, Dr. Chris Stroud sits down with Fr. Daniel Scheidt, pastor of St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, to discuss a unique project 24 years in the making: a liturgical calendar that organizes life around the Church year rather than forcing sacred time into secular monthly boxes. The conversation explores why modern life makes slowing down so difficult and practical ways to align our daily lives with the liturgical seasons, transforming time from something that enslaves us into a pathway for encountering Christ. Whether you're a daily Mass-goer or someone who hasn't been to church in a while, the conversation offers a fresh perspective on how the Church's ancient wisdom about time can bring peace, purpose, and joy to your life.
