Episode 161 - Bringing Faith to the Field

In this episode of Big City Catholics, Bishop Brennan shares the special experience of celebrating Sunday Mass at Citi Field—a powerful way to serve those who work to create a safe and meaningful experience for Mets fans. He’s joined by James Benesh, Vice President of Ballpark Experience for the New York Mets, who shares how these Masses, much like those in a parish, bring people from all corners of the community together. Bishop Brennan also speaks with Rev. Msgr. Thomas C. Machalski, Jr., pastor of Sacred Heart in Bayside and chaplain to the Mets, who discusses Catholic Athletes for Christ, an organization that facilitates the celebration of Mass for Catholic players, coaches, and team personnel at many stadiums.
