Shownotes
In this episode, editor Mickey Conlon is joined by associate editor Quinton Amundson and reporter Luke Mandato. As Canadians prepare to celebrate this Thanksgiving weekend, the team welcomes special guest Aklilu Wendaferew, executive director of Good Shepherd Ministries in downtown Toronto. Wendaferew, who has led the organization for nearly three decades, shares insights on the sharp rise in food insecurity, the growing demand for services, this year’s annual Thanksgiving meal service and what the future may hold amid economic pressures. Mandato and Amundson join the conversation about Good Shepherd’s holiday outreach and practical ways ordinary Catholics can help. Amundson also features an exclusive interview with Debra Majer on the unexpected impact of federal Bill C-3, which extends Canadian citizenship to those who can prove Canadian roots. The legislation has created a surge of work for diocesan archivists across the country as they dig through historical records to assist applicants.
