About this episode

The episode features discussions on baseball's connection to faith, Down Syndrome Awareness Day, and reflections on Lenten solemnities.

With baseball season officially underway, we talk with John Scheinfeld about his new film, BaseballL Beyond Belief, that explores the compelling depths of how baseball and faith intertwine in powerful and surprising ways. As we mark Down Syndrome Awareness day this weekend, Kate Ashbrook, founder of A Purposeful Day, discusses her important work of helping young adults with special needs reach their God-given potential. With all the solemnities during this Lenten season, Msgr. Roger Landry reminds us of what we can learn from St. Patrick, St. Joseph, and the Annunciation next week! Catch the show every Saturday at 7amET/5pmET on EWTN radio!
