What is the right age for confirmation? Why was my priest assigned to a different parish? Should parish pastoral councils be mandatory? Is it OK to wash the feet of people in jail? Bishop Kevin Sweeney responds to these questions, critiques, and more in an episode dedicated entirely to feedback from our viewers, listeners, and social media community. Jai Agnish and Cecile Pagliarulo take turns putting these questions and comments to the bishop and add their own. 

Bishop Kevin responds to:

  • Criticism for washing the feet of inmates for Holy Thursday
  • Administering confirmation at middle school age or high school age
  • Memories from parishioners at St. Michael’s in Brooklyn
  • Priest assignments
  • Parish pastoral councils
  • What happens to last year's Chrism Oils?
  • Promoting movies and events from the pulpit
  • Childhood picture for National Siblings Day
  • Permanent diaconate
