Why we Stay with Joe and Anne Smith

Catholics in Ordinary Time

Fr. Jack interviews Joe and Anne Smith, a married couple from Saint Aloysius, about ordinary Catholic family life, parish community, prayer, tithing, service, and raising children in the faith. Together, they reflect on how the Church has been present in their marriage, their children’s baptisms, their weekly rhythm of Mass, and their growing involvement in parish life. They also talk about the Eucharist, welcoming young families, inviting others to church, and why they remain hopeful about the future of Catholic life. This episode is a grounded look at what it means to keep showing up. Not perfectly, not dramatically, but faithfully.
