216 A Jesuit Life: Fr. John McManamon

On Wednesday, June 9, 2021, Gene Wilhelm spoke in the first segment with Fr. Greg Gerhart, Vocations Director for the Diocese of Austin. Fr. Greg gave us an update on priestly ordinations this summer and some of the official steps that men who think they might have a call to Holy Orders can take to discern their call properly.

In the main segment, RED-C Catholic Radio was honored to have in the studio, Fr. John McManamon, S.J., a Jesuit priest, historian, and nautical archaeologist. He began by telling us about his call to the priesthood and why he was drawn specifically to the Society of Jesus. We got to hear about his academic pursuits, including earning a Ph.D. in Renaissance history from the prestigious program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Fr. John has taught for many years at Loyola University-Chicago and then for the last couple of decades has also been a frequent scholar-in-residence with the world-renowned nautical archaeology program at Texas A&M University and a member on a number of their excavations from the Gulf of Mexico to the eastern Mediterranean Sea. All the while, Fr. John found ways to offer his priestly ministry to the parishioners of St. Anthony in Bryan and to the students of St. Mary's Catholic Center in College Station. To hear all the details tune in and if you want to hear more from this conversation, become a monthly donor and member of our Immaculata Recurring Gift Society.
