The Catholicism for the Modern World Podcast

In the hills of Kentucky, at the oldest monastery still operating in North America, locals walked toward the towering Abbey of Gethsemani...

A few months earlier, Fr. Michael Casagram asked Michael Snellen, a recent convert, "What brings young people to the faith?" The younger Michael was unsure. Determined, however, to figure out the solution to the declining vocation crisis, and the general lack of spirituality in the West, Michael Snellen recalled the influences in his own life: friendship, community, and being exposed to the depths of Christianity. Thus his answer, which he gave a few months after the question was asked, was to start a group that has all those things and ultimately makes people aware of the monastic lifestyle.

After seeing the attraction this first meeting had, Michael is now dedicated to proposing the idea to other monasteries and convents. Hopefully this is the start of a movement.

Jenny duBay is a unique writer. Her ministry is in helping women, particularly those who have been hurt. She aims to guide them to peace in faith.


Per the biography on her website: "As a domestic abuse survivor and now advocate, I know what a huge emotional, spiritual, physical, and psychological impact intimate partner violence (IPV) has on a person.

My mission is to help others gain clarity and understanding, to reclaim their true selves --made in God's image and likeness -- and touch the hem of God's robe.

I write about redemptive suffering, God's plan for our lives, and the role of forgiveness along the healing journey. I also focus on reclaiming self after tragedy, soul woundings, and how to heal from other traumatic events in life.

​My spiritual coaching ministry helps individuals move forward, enabling them to progress from where they currently are to where they ideally envision themselves to be. Bringing resolution to unresolved woundings, through the merciful love of Christ, is a primary focus."
