Mandato shares his story on Ryan Nembhard of the Dallas Mavericks, a recipient of the York Catholic District School Board’s Distinguished Alumni Award, and the Catholic values that define Nembhard’s journey. Amundson highlights two inspiring stories of Catholics making beautiful sacred music, using their talents to glorify God. The conversation turns to address growing concerns over the proposed federal Bills C-22 and C-34 and their potential impact on religious freedom, with Amundson sharing insights from those he interviewed.
