All Kinds of Catholic podcast: Walking the Shrewsbury Pilgrim Way

Phil McCarthy • October 23, 2024

At the start of walking St Philomena's Way in the Diocese of Shrewsbury, Hearts in Search of God project lead Phil McCarthy was interviewed by Theresa Alessandro for her All Kinds of Catholic podcast.


The All Kinds of Catholic podcast includes conversations with different Catholics, giving glimpses into some of the ways they are living their faith today. Pope Francis has used the image of a caravan to describe the Church: a diverse group of people travelling on a sometimes chaotic journey together. This image has helped to shape the podcast. Theresa hopes the podcast will encourage, affirm  and sometimes challenge listeners. She is too in these conversations. The link to the recording is below.
