Today on The Catholic Morning Show we explore three vibrant corners of Catholic life: parish community and ministry, men’s discipleship, and children’s literature. Janelle Kerr and Jenna Bower talk about the upcoming HT Boutique on November 14-15 and how local parish-life invites faith into craft and connection. Joe Stopulos gives a preview of his “Man Up!” show, inspiring men to live their call boldly. And Gracie Jagla joins us to share her new children’s book If the Pope Had a Puppy, opening hearts to the joy and history of the Church for young readers.
Today’s show features three insightful guests:
Janelle Kerr & Jenna Bower discuss the 2025 Beaverdale Holiday Boutique hosted by Holy Trinity Catholic School (Des Moines) on Fri–Sat Nov 14–15 — a beloved parish event bringing faith, service and community together via artisans, craftsmen and family-friendly fun.
