We are in the Year of the Priest. And I want to share some great news with you about one priest in particular... and his new Family.
Just this past week Fr. Michael Harrington, a diocesan priest of the Archdiocese of Boston, professed the vows of Poverty, Chastity, Obedience, and Fidelity to the Pope according to the statutes of the Institute of Jesus the Priest, a branch of the Pauline Family founded by Blessed James Alberione.
This profession marks the beginning of the Institute of Jesus the Priest in the United States. What a joyous moment for Fr. Mike and for all of the Pauline Family in the USA!
Below you can listen to my interview with Sr. Margaret Charles, FSP who attended the Profession ceremony. I am also including the Ustream recording of the podcast (which is the unedited version, by the way!). Sr. Margaret also shot some video, which you can see below.
"Like food? Want to learn more about your faith? Jeff is personable, easy to listen to, and very knowledgeable about both subjects." - Mike
"Jeff does a fantastic job blending a love of food with a passion for his faith. I always look forward to a new episode - Keep up the good work!" - Lisa
"I'm not a cook, though I like to eat. I do love learning about my Catholic faith, though. I didn't expect to become a big fan of the Catholic Foodie as I have; Jeff makes me want to try my hand at some of the cooking and recipes. It's not JUST about food, though, and his perspective on faith is valuable catechesis, and I appreciate every show." - Sarah
"The Catholic Foodie is an excellent show about food and our Catholic Faith." - Anonymous
"Jeff's podcast is very enjoyable. He does a great job of relating food to faith and vice versa. I especially love the episodes about coffee! Keep up the good work!" - JoAnna
"It's great to hear a podcast that's relaxing and low-key. Love the soft jazz music you use." - Fr. Jim
"Though he doesn't live in New Orleans proper, Jeff Young's love of food, cooking and God is influenced by this Catholic city in which delicious meals abound! If you are interested in how the Church's past and present history intersects with food, this is the podcast for you. Young's talents as an educator shine through; he explains concepts in a lively way that never sounds preachy." - Soyviz
"More exciting than Sunday sports channels, more invigorating than a Swedish massage, and more inspiring than a full set of 1955 Funk and Wagnell Encyclopedias… or the hardcover edition Code of Canon Law! Grab a cup of java, or maybe a good glass of vino, and come on down and spend some time with the Catholic Foodie… Where food meets faith!" - Bro. Jer
