Catholic Extension Society on Relevant Radio

Stories of faith
Sharing the mission of Catholic Extension Society

Catholic Extension Society is pleased to join Relevant Radio’s Morning Air to discuss the impact and involvement of the Catholic Church in “mission territory” and how it relates to today’s most important topics.

Listen to our latest appearance:

Hispanic Heritage Month and the Catholic Church — September 2024

Joining the show is our Chief Mission Officer, Joe Boland, who has worked with Catholic Extension Society for 15 years.

He has traveled to America’s poorest regions meeting incredibly inspiring and dedicated faith leaders, joining Catholic Mass services in diverse and humble parish chapels, learning how innovative Catholic programs and teachings have revitalized communities, and witnessing the transformative work of the Church.

One of the things that gives me the greatest hope—and I get a front row to this through my role at Catholic Extension Society—is what the Church is doing. The Church is on the frontlines, serving the poor and serving those who are being impacted the most.”
