Podcast: Download

Have you heard of CFCA? It stands for the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging. In this episode, Pat interviews a representative of the CFCA at the National Catholic Youth conference in Kansas City. This past week, along with Paul Camarata of the Saintcast, we represented SQPN at NCYC 2009.

To start off the show, we run through our three J’s and have two Thanksgiving-themed lines to fit into the show. We’ve got a few creative ideas on how to fit in the phrases. In our news section, we talk a little bit about NCYC and have some great feedback from Fr. James Tucker of the Catholic Creativity podcast and from Greg and Jennifer Willits, of Rosary Army.

Finally, to round out the episode, we have a special Catholic challenge for you this week and then a piece of feedback on Thanksgiving traditions from one of our listeners.
