Summary
Patrick shares how being a grandfather to 32 (and counting) shapes his understanding of the important bond between grandparents and grandchildren, weaving in personal traditions, childhood memories, and practical snack secrets involving Slim Jims and fruit snacks. He responds to callers’ stories about discipline, letting adult children develop their own parenting methods, and the surprises that come with family caregiving, while addressing everything from Mass translations to keeping faith traditions alive. Laughter, honesty, even a few debates spark throughout, as Patrick moves between heartfelt advice and the everyday realities of grandparent life.
- Children who have strong, consistent relationships with their grandparents often experience better emotional wellbeing (01:01)
- Mary - Have you ever had to correct your grandkids? For example, if they are going to hit another kid. (17:25)
- Steve – We, as Grandparents, cut down a Christmas tree every year and make walking sticks out of the trunk and use it for the Walk to Mary. (22:47)
- Cindy – It gets complicated when the grandparent is raising a grandchild. (25:25)
- Kathy - Why did the name of Churches in my area change? (27:43)
- Jessica (email) - How do you handle fights between grandchildren? (35:22)
- Timothy - Before a priest became a priest, is it okay if he had a girlfriend or is that a mortal sin? (36:56)
- Bill - Why did the Patriarchs of the Church in Jerusalem issue that statement about Christian Zionists? (42:01)
- Robert - You were talking about Latin translations into English. I translate the Spanish into English. (46:35)
