On today’s Catholic Morning Show, Deacon Mark Campbell, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm explore how faith, culture, and daily life intersect in the modern Church. The team covers local Iowa news, sports, weather, and diocesan updates before diving into two powerful conversations on youth faith formation and cultural Catholic traditions.
On today’s Catholic Morning Show, the team welcomes two special guests exploring faith, culture, and formation in the Diocese of Des Moines.
First, Jessica Pancho, Director of Youth Evangelization, shares the spiritual meaning behind quinceañeras and the Church’s efforts to form young women in their identity as beloved daughters of God. From symbols like the crown and medal to retreat preparation, she explains how the Church accompanies teens at a key moment in life.
Later, John Huynh, Director of Social Justice for the Diocese of Des Moines and Catholic Charities, discusses the surprising rise of young adult conversions and what it reveals about modern culture. He highlights the tension between digital connection and real human belonging, and offers practical ways families can build faith-filled rhythms during summer.
