About this episode

Bishop Frank and guests discuss the importance of Christian friendship in reaching young adults and the reasons behind their return to the church.

If Bishop Frank were to write a book, he says it would be about rediscovering the charism for Christian friendship. Friendship also happens to be the key to reaching and evangelizing young adults. That is the consensus among Bishop Frank, Fr Sam Kachuba (Vicar for Young Adult Ministry), and Paola Pena (Director of Evangelization at St Pius X). The culture has been offering empty promises to young adults... instead of the authentic freedom, relationship, and fulfillment that young adults (& all of us) truly desire. This was really a fantastic conversation. Enjoy! By the way, you can still squeeze in and join us as we celebrate the seven years that Veritas been on the air...
