46: How church history inspires our faith now
How can history inspire our faith? Bishop Kevin Sweeney and Jai Agnish visit Our Lady of the Magnificat in Kinnelon, N.J., for a remote podcast episode. On display in the church narthex is a giant museum-quality photo exhibition of the Shroud of Turin. Tune in to the video version of this episode for the full impact! This week's guest, Father Steven Shadwell, elaborates on how this unique historical experience came to life at his parish. In addition to three life-size photographs of the actual Shroud, the exhibit includes over 40 storyboards depicting various aspects of the history of the Shroud. Call the parish office at 973-838-6838 to reserve a Wednesday night tour slot or to learn more.
On this episode, Bishop Kevin also discusses the temporary closure of the historic St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Paterson on March 1. The parishioners of St. Michael's have been invited to attend Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, a few blocks away, where they will be warmly welcomed by Msgr. Geno Sylva, the priests, staff, and parishioners.
