Life is busy. Thanks to our expanding economy and a digital landscape where it seems like our to-do lists and plans are infinite, our finitude as human beings can be overwhelming and exhausting.

Every summer, seminarians at The Saint Paul Seminary receive hands-on experience in living out this call. They spread out all over the Twin Cities and beyond, ministering to those who are sick and suffering. Some are engaged in hospital visits. Others work with the poor. And others spend time at elder care facilities. We caught up with four of them to learn about this year's experience on the latest episode of the Joyful Catholic Leaders Show.

The Joyful Catholic Leaders ShowEp. 9: The Church's mission in a non-Christian culture with Msgr. James Shea, president of the University of MaryPope Francis often says “we are not living in an age of change, but a change of the ages.” By and large, contemporary society is no longer friendly to Judeo-Christian values; increasingly, it is hostile toward them.
So what’s a practicing Catholic to-do in a world that seems increasingly anti-Catholic?
Certainly, the answer isn’t despair. Msgr. James Shea, president of the University of Mary, stops by the Joyful Catholic Leaders Show to discuss how the Church can best operate given the cultural narratives of our day.

Priests dress differently. They're celibate. And they give their life over completely to a Church in the name of a God they can't "see" (in the traditional sense).
Why?
In their final days before being ordained, we posed this question and others to Deacons John Utecht (Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis), Nathan Pacer (Rockford, Illinois) and Scott Padrnos (Duluth, Minnesota). We also discussed their time in seminary and their journeys as priests that have really only just begun.

We explore these important questions and more in the latest episode of the Joyful Catholic Leaders Show. Fr. Philip Bochanski lays out the Church's official teaching on homosexuality and transgenderism -- in terms the average Catholic can understand and articulate.

The answers, according to Saint Paul Seminary Spiritual Director Monsignor Steven Rohlfs, actually lie in another question. God asks, “Do you love me more than anyone or anything else?”
“The notion of purgatory has always given me hope, because it means God never gives up on me as long as I don’t give up on God,” Rohlfs says.

Dr. Christopher Thompson, academic dean, Saint Paul SeminaryThe road to the priesthood is known in some circles as a long, arduous academic haul. While this isn't entirely inaccurate -- just ask one of the men taking 128 credits in 4-6 years -- there's a lot more to it than that. Dr. Christopher Thompson, academic dean at The Saint Paul Seminary, joins the show to talk through what a man learns on his journey from disciple to seminarian to priest. Thompson also shares some of his own story of faith, including oversight of the lay graduate theological programs that are available at the seminary.

For Deacon Mike Selenski, a seminarian set for ordination in the spring of 2022, the better question is "who."
Our conversation with Selenski dives into why he chose to enter major seminary, what life has been like at The Saint Paul Seminary during the pandemic, and how Catholics can be joyful during a time that's fraught with challenges. Deacon Mike also delves into his interests outside of priestly formation, including cooking, sports and spending quality time with fellow future priests.
