John Paul Brissette, the 24-year-old Director of Communication for the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Champion, Wisconsin, joins Gus. John Paul is a social media influencer and, in a relatively short period of time, amassed over 4 million followers on various platforms. He shares with Gus the history of the Catholic Church and media, why evangelizing on the internet is so important, and how people of all ages can do it. He also talks about Blessed Carlo Acutis and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, who will both be canonized this weekend.
Also, Gus reads and reflects on the writings of St. Ignatius of Antioch in today's edition of Friday w/the Fathers and later engages in some Friday Prayer Time with listeners.
And, today is the Feast of St. Teresa of Calcutta, aka Mother Teresa, so Gus talks a bit about her life of service and legacy.
