Fr. Hal Weidner with his rescue dog Roo. Among the topics Fr. Hal explores on the show: his ministry to Wesleyan’s Catholics (“They’re liberal but devout”, and his experience serving elsewhere; the relevance to today of 19th-century Catholic figure John Catholic Newman; the differences between the two popes about to be canonized — John XXIII and John Paul II; and his advice for making spiritual progress. Hint: the keys are probably already in your house.
Mass at Wesleyan’s Memorial Chapel is at 8 p.m. on Sundays.
Wes students Julian Theseira and Erin Chase (heard on the show talking about Fr. Hal; Erin first, then Julian.)
