God calls all of us into his service, for his glory and for our wellbeing. Sometimes it can be hard to know what we are called to do. Are we called to participate in religious life? Do we best serve by entering into the sacrament of marriage and raising a family? These questions must be answered with a sober and purposeful mind. Fr Daniel Nevares helps us to understand the process of vocational discernment.

Baptism is one of the fundamental Christian rituals, honored and held in high esteem by all Trinitarian faiths. But what is baptism? Is it simply the act of immersion in water, or is it something more? And why did Christ, God incarnate in the world, undergo this process at the hands of his cousin John who, in his own words, was "unfit to kneel down and untie His sandals" (Mk 1:7-8)? Father Cochran joins Nicholas to further enlighten us on the baptism of our Lord.

For Catholics, one of the most powerful elements of the season of Advent is the music that draws us together. Whether they be old hymns that are near and dear to our hearts, or joyful tunes we hear when shopping for our families, the songs of this season speak to us of the magnitude of our Savior's coming. St Francis Xavier Parish's music director, Robert Harsch, is in the studio to speak to this ministry and its importance to us. Join Nicholas and Robert as we explore this season through the lens of sacred music.
