John and Glen chat about Dodgers/Braves Game

Fr. Burke explains the significance of the altar and its location in the Catholic Church. He notes the reason relics of Saints are incorporated into altars and describes the difference between consecration and dedication of an altar.

Marcel asks listeners to think about how their parish engages new parishioners or visitors and challenges them to be more hands on. He suggests asking people to lunch or coffee to build a relationship.

Marcel notes that the way in which we interact with newcomers can either draw them closer to the Catholic Church or push them away since we are creatures that need connection. He urges listeners to start small but work with your parish to start a group that connects people outside of mass.
