Archdiocese Of St. Louis

Duty and service: two words which describe first responders like police, firefighters, and EMT's, but also the lives of men and women consecrated religious. In this episode of the Catholic Gateway Podcast we talk to deacon and former police officer Mark Byington about the Blue Mass held on September 11, 2016 and the importance of spirituality in the life of a first responder. Stephen Kempf with the St. Louis Review also joins the podcast to talk about the Jubilarian section of the Sept. 26-Oct. 3 paper.
