S7 E1: How One Small Town Transformed into a Community

In the Company of Sister Theresa Sullivan, DC

September 27, 2024

Happy Feast of St. Vincent de Paul! If you've been a listener for awhile, you know that means it's time for the new season to begin! Welcome to season SEVEN!

To kick off the season, we have Sister Theresa Sullivan, DC. Sister Theresa is the Director of Daybreak, a ministry of Depaul USA, that operates as a day resource center for those experiencing homelessness in the area. Sister Theresa is the third director of Daybreak and our very own Sister Elizabeth Greim, DC, just so happens to have been the first. Between the two of them, we hear all about the founding of Daybreak and just how much it's grown since it's founding in 2011. Between adding new buildings and gaining the support of the whole community, it's clear there's been a lot of love poured into this ministry!

S7 E7: Waiting in Hope

December 17, 2024

We're in the midst of Advent, a season of waiting and a season a business. As we reflect on the season, we're asking ourselves how we're creating the space for Jesus to enter our lives more deeply. Today, our cohosts share a little on Advent, Christmas, and life in general as well as give a little peek into what to expect in the new year.

Christmas Novena Day 1

December 16, 2024

The Christmas Novena has been a tradition with the Daughters of Charity communities since 1720 when an Italian priest, Carlo Antonio Vachetta, arranged the music for it based on a novena that had been prayed in Italy for many centuries. Originally sung in Latin, the novena was translated to English in the United States around 1964.

S7 E6: Legacy of Service in Santa Barbara

December 3, 2024

For today's episode, we're headed back to Santa Barbara, California. Our guest, Sergey Salushchev, is the Archivist for St. Vincent's in Santa Barbara. He joins us today to give us a background on the Daughters' westward expansion into California and the history our services there. He highlights how the Sisters were able to adapt to the changes of the time and continue to provide for those most in need in new ways throughout the years there.
