I was blessed to spend a year as a student leader with Fr. Mike at the University of Minnesota Duluth back in 2005-2006. That year changed my life. He is a gift to the Church and I jump at any opportunity I have to share him with you. If you haven't checked out the Bible in a Year Podcast there really isn't anything much better that you could do to grown in knowledge and understanding of the Bible.
And now, starting on Jan. 1 he will be bringing us the Catechism in a Year! I highly recommend! Choose one of these as a new year resolution, listen when you can, you'll be hooked, and you'll learn and grow a ton.
