  • Welcome to Catholics in Ordinary Time
    Jun 4 2025

    In this first episode, Fr. Jack, a Jesuit priest, introduces himself and the heart behind the podcast. Catholics in Ordinary Time isn’t here to offer all the answers. It’s here to make space for real conversations.

    This season focuses on young adults. Some are practicing Catholics. Some aren’t. All are invited to share honestly where they are in their journey of faith.

    This episode sets the tone for what’s to come. Listening, not lecturing. Curiosity over conclusions. Presence over pressure.
