061 Sr. Raffaella Cavallin: Human Formation

On March 21, 2018, host Pam Marvin spoke with Sr. Raffaella Cavallin, a cherished member of the staff at St. Mary's Catholic Center in College Station, TX. St. Mary's (@aggiecatholic) ministers to the students of Texas A&M University. Sr. Raffaella is a member of the Apostles of the Interior Life (http://en.apostlesofil.com), a community of consecrated women founded in Italy in 1990. Their charism is taking care of people's interior life, primarily through spiritual direction, formation and evangelization . Sr. Raffaella has been an Apostle for more than 20 years. In their work at St. Mary's (and other Catholic student centers around the country), the Apostles do evangelization and outreach on campus as well as spiritual direction for students, faculty, and other laypeople. Pam and sister spent the morning introducing the idea of human formation. Essentially, it is the venerable Catholic idea that cultivating the cardinal virtues of prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance are prerequisites to a person's growth in the theological virtues of faith, hope, and love. Enjoy this conversation and look for a second installment to be available sometime in May. Enjoy the show, like RED-C Catholic Radio on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter at @REDCRadio.

On March 14, 2018, host Gene Wilhelm spoke with his old friends, Pete and Sue Fullerton, operators of Truck of Love Ministries.  Pete and Sue met and married while she was in school at the University of San Francisco in the early 1960s. Pete had a brief career as a member of the We Five, and had a hit song, "When I Woke Up This Morning." But a yearning for something more and a desire to honor the memory of a recently deceased friend brought them to join in a ministry that provided food and supplies to Native Americans in Arizona. This has blossomed into 50 years of work in the mission fields of Arizona and, more recently, in the neighborhoods near their home in South Carolina.

059 Troy Guy: Evangelical Catholic

On March 6, 2018, host Dcn. Mike Beauvais spoke with Troy Guy, a native-son of Palestine, Texas, and author of Evangelical Catholic.  Troy explained how he made a slow but inexorable march toward the Catholic Church by investigating its historical claims and especially by immersing himself in the Church Fathers, men like St. Irenaeus, Justin Martyr, and St. Augustine. At the same time, he maintained his friendships with Protestant brothers and pastors. This has given him a unique entré into the evangelical world where he regularly speaks to various congregations and explains why he became Catholic. Troy is doing a valuable and one-of-a-kind evangelization.
