Episode 1: The Cry of A Mother

Welcome to Called Back, a podcast from the Catholic Church of St. Ann, where we explore the richness of our faith, the call to return, and how we keep the fire alive.In this first episode and introduction to the Called Back project, we begin with the cry that started it all—the voice of Our Lady of La Salette, who appeared weeping not in judgment, but in mercy. Her tears were a mother’s longing for her children to return to God.We’ll reflect on the core message that will guide this series: no matter where we are, we are always being called back—to prayer, to the sacraments, to reverence, to deeper conversion. This episode sets the stage for the journey ahead, rooted in hope, led by love, and inspired by the gentle but persistent invitation of Heaven.
