Kingston’s 200th Anniversary. Growth in Ministries. Canadian Political Shifts.
In this episode, editor Mickey Conlon is joined by associate editor Quinton Amundson and reporter Luke Mandato in an episode is brought to you by Our Lady Seat of Wisdom College. The team first celebrates the 200th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Kingston, the historic parent of the Archdiocese of Toronto. Mandato shares highlights from his conversation with the office of Archbishop Michael Mulhall and reports on the magnificent artwork and restorations uncovered at St. Mary’s Cathedral in preparation for this year’s historic milestone. Mandato goes on to spotlight two growing ministries in the Toronto area, the Dismas Fellowship Network and Young Professional Catholics of Toronto, as signs of a renewed vitality in the Church. Amundson adds perspective from Calgary, noting that this growth is not just limited to Toronto, and the team discusses what these developments mean for a Church that some had prematurely written off. Conversations close with a look at the shifting federal political landscape after this week, including the controversial departure of longtime social conservative MP Marilyn Gladu from the Conservative Party, with Amundson sharing reactions from groups like Campaign Life Coalition.
