In this episode, correspondent Luke Mandato and associate editor Quinton Amundson join host Mickey Conlon to discuss this week's Catholic news. Mandato and Conlon kick off discussions around Midland's Martyrs' Shrine's upcoming centenniel celebrations in 2026, as Amundson goes on to highlight his recent story on the ongoing Christian Heritage Party case. Amundson and Conlon then discuss the story of the burning of St. Jean Baptiste Church in Morinville, Alta., which has since risen from the ashes. Mandato wraps up discussions with an overview of Catholic charitable giving seemingly defying trends of the lowest charitable giving rates across the last two decades in Canada.
