Support for living our faith in today's world

The next step for the All Kinds of Catholic podcast mission is to build the community around the podcast. The weekly conversations with 'ordinary' Catholic people are available wherever you get your podcasts. The episodes are also in our new online Substack space. Here listeners, guests and podcast host, Theresa Alessandro, can continue the conversation together.

Listeners can subscribe (for free) to receive a newsletter with background information about the podcast episodes. Find out what didn't make it into the final cut. Hear about upcoming episodes. Comment and chat about the weekly conversations with other listeners.

Theresa says, "In this space we'll be able to continue encouraging, affirming and sometimes challenging each other. Listeners tell me how much they appreciate the podcast. On Substack they will be able to share their thoughts with each other too. And I'm looking forward to being able to send out news directly to subscribed listeners to help everyone feel more connected."

Head to Substack and subscribe to receive all the news and say what you think about the episodes. There is an opportunity to make a regular donation if you would like to support the podcast mission but no content will be behind a paywall so everyone can participate.

Encountering others in the online world can feel incomplete. So the podcast community will also be meeting in person on Saturday 21st March next year - keep the date free! More information will be in the Substack newsletter soon.

Pope Leo, in his address to Catholic Digital Missionaries earlier this year, set our work in an ambitious context, reminding us that Jesus 'asks us to weave other nets: networks of relationships, of love, of gratuitous sharing where friendship is profound and authentic; networks where we can mend what has been broken, heal from loneliness, not focus on the number of followers, but experience the greatness of infinite Love in every encounter…'

Please do join the All Kinds of Catholic podcast community and be part of helping each other to live out our faith to the full in today's unsettled world.

About the podcast

The All Kinds of Catholic podcast is created and hosted by Theresa Alessandro. In each episode, Theresa is in conversation with a different Catholic guest, exploring how they live their faith in the world today. Guests will often be people who are not in the public eye. Taken together, their stories illustrate the image Pope Francis uses in Evangelii Gaudium, of a 'chaotic…genuine experience of fraternity, a caravan of solidarity, a sacred pilgrimage' experienced by Catholic people 'stepping into this floodtide' of life.
