powered by you listener supported welcome to the relevant radio spring pledge drive join the family we are back

welcome back and this is the first day of pledge drive so let us begin in prayer as we always do

and keep in mind that we are praying for your intentions now our intention is that we can make

our need of three million million by the end of the

week this week, but we're also praying in a special way for your needs. So it could be a family

need, it could be a financial need, a health need, whatever it may be, we are praying for you.

And we're asking our blessed mother to pray for us

at the same time. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.

Remember, almost gracious Virgin Mary, that never wasn't known, that anyone who fled to thy protection

implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided inspired by this

confidence i flaying to thee o virgin a virgin my mother to thee do i come before thee i stand sinful and sorrowful

o mother of the word incarnate despise not my petitions but in thy mercy hear and answer me amen

in the name of the father and of the son of the holy spirit amen, as I mentioned in the first hour of the program today, it's a regular program. It is pleasure, right, but it's a regular program. So you can still call 88-914-9149 and beyond the air. I'll be waiting for your phone call. And your emails, those go to Patrick at RelevantRadio.com. Now, Kathy and Scottsdale, you had called in just a few minutes before the top of the hour break, so we couldn't really get into your question. So do you want to, like, tell me again what the question was, and we'll take it from the top? Okay. I was asked to be part of OCIA last November, and I said, well, let me think about it and pray about it, and I'll get back to you, and I did, and I said yes, and it's been fine, and I love it, but about two months ago, the subject of topic of the sacrament of reconciliation came up.

And in the conversation, the leader said that, the director said that you didn't need to go to confession.

I said, I'm the one who said we're required, as Catholics, were required to go to confession at least once a year,

and that during the Easter season.

And she said, well, no, that's been changed.

You really don't have to go to confession at all.

They don't have a requirement anymore for how often to go. And I was not comfortable continuing with that in front of the students.

And I haven't felt comfortable.

She's good and I like her, but I just didn't want to talk to her about it, even afterwards.

So I'm going to call you because it's still bothering me.
