Episode 253: The Experience of a Now Retired NFL Football Team Chaplain with Fr. Douglas Hunter

Hey Everybody! It's Fr. Edward

Recently on X (formerly Twitter), Fr. Douglas Hunter announced to his followers that he was retiring, resigning, or stepping down from his role as the Catholic Chaplain of the Indianapolis Colts. When Fr. Edward saw the Tweet, he immediately messaged Fr. Hunter to set up an interview! In this conversation Fr. Hunter shares how he became the Colt's chaplain, what his duties were, how he managed doing so while serving in a parish, how he would have handled the Damar Hamlin situation, and his thoughts on Indianapolis becoming a center for Catholic America events like NCYC and the Eucharistic Revival.
