So, grab a cup of coffee, sit down, and join me for Brewing Faith, a podcast where younger Catholics ask the questions, and together with the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia, and through a Franciscan lens we look at the future of our Church.

Thanks for joining us for Brewing Faith, where we bring the hard questions to the table as we talk about the future of our Church. In this episode we will be sharing stories and conversation about sports and spirituality. I will be sitting down with Xavier, a sophomore communications major at Neumann University, and Sr. Alice Klein, whose incredible story you will hear in just a moment. Sr. Alice was on her way to fame and fortune; however, after only two years of playing ball semi-professionally for Mr. Martin, of Lockheed Martin, she left it all. Alice now resides at Assisi House, the retirement convent of the Sisters of St. Francis. As you see, Alice left it all to enter the convent. So, grab your coffee or tea, whatever you like to brew, enjoy this episode.

Last month we discussed the changing dynamics of catechesis in the Church. We talked about staying at the table and addressed relativism. In this episode we dig a little deeper into the question of belief and community as we talk with two young women working on Red Hill Farm--Madison Rios and our Franciscan Volunteer, Katherine Stevick. We explore what community means and what it looks like to be a part of a faith community.
