In a world where noise seems to reign supreme, what’s the value of silence? How do we make room for silence in our lives? And how can silence help us in our spiritual journey? George Matysek talks about it with Dominican Father Dominic Koester. Father Koester is the associate pastor of Ss. Philip and James in Baltimore and the assistant chaplain for the Catholic Community at The Johns Hopkins University, located just a few steps away from the parish. He also serves as chaplain for the Baltimore Frassati Fellowship, a young adult ministry based at Ss. Philip and James.
