Gabe Gessler: A Catholic Wedding Registry Built for Your Domestic Church (+ more) | The Catholic Morning Show - 09/10/2026

Bo Bonner and Deacon Mark Campbell open Thursday of the Twenty-third Week in Ordinary Time, with Saint Nicholas of Tolentino as the saint of the day. Today's Mass is at 8 a.m. at Sacred Heart in Rockwell (89.3 FM).Bo and Deacon Mark then recap Iowa Catholic Radio's 12th annual Men's Stag at Country Lane Lodge. Heavy rain soaked the western metro that morning, but no one was turned away. About 60 tables were sold, 60 to 70 volunteers helped, and Knights of Columbus councils from across the metro pitched in. Deacon Mark explains that the event nets roughly 10% of the station's annual operating budget, but that the community it builds matters even more. He also gives a first look at Iowa Catholic Radio's new women's conference, set for January 23 at Saint Boniface in Waukee. Full details will be at the Iowa Catholic Radio booth at Christ Our Life.Gabe Gessler, co-founder of Cana, joins to talk about the platform's new registry. Cana is free for couples and includes a registry, guest list, RSVPs, and a wedding website with a section for prayer intentions. The registry puts curated Catholic businesses' sacred art and home goods front and center, all with the goal of preparing couples "from engagement to eternity."
