A new Catholic convert shares his journey to the Church through intellectual discovery and personal transformation, while a parish renewal leader discusses how the Church can rebuild through mission, strong leadership, and a return to the Gospel.
On this episode of Catholic Morning Show, we explore powerful stories of conversion, renewal, and the mission of the Church today.
First, new Catholic convert Dennis Hogan shares his journey into the Church after the Easter Vigil. Coming from a largely secular background, Dennis reflects on the moment that sparked his search for truth, the intellectual depth he discovered in Catholicism, and how the writings of Saint Augustine helped lead him home. His story highlights the beauty of the sacraments, the richness of tradition, and the personal transformation that comes from encountering Christ.
Then, Tim Glemkowski of Amazing Parish joins us to discuss his new white paper Rebuild My Church. Drawing from years of working with parish leaders across the country, Tim outlines a vision for authentic Church renewal rooted in holiness, strong leadership, and missionary discipleship. Inspired by the call of Saint Francis of Assisi, he explains why renewal starts not with programs, but with a return to the Gospel.
Together, these conversations offer a compelling look at how the Holy Spirit is moving—from individual hearts to entire parishes—calling the Church to deeper faith, renewed purpose, and bold mission.
