The Catholic Morning Show – 06/22/2026

Father's Day Monday on The Catholic Morning Show: Guest host Sam Halligan (filling in for Bo Bonner) leads a morning devoted to evangelization, masculinity, and Catholic fatherhood across three conversations. FOCUS & the Art of Friendship — John Michael Lucido: The Director of Recruitment and Retention for the Fellowship of Catholic University Students explains how FOCUS forms missionary disciples on roughly 220 campuses and a growing number of parishes, why evangelization is simply "the art of friendship," and how his Call Him Abba newsletter calls young men toward fatherhood and purpose. A Man on Purpose — Pete Burak: The vice president of Renewal Ministries and author confronts the modern crisis of masculinity, charting a "radical center" between emasculated manhood and toxic alpha-male culture, and shares the intentional, Spirit-filled fatherhood at the heart of his new book. Remembering Dad — Joe Stopulus: Iowa Catholic Radio host Joe Stopulus previews his 9 AM show with a heartfelt reflection on gratitude after the recent loss of his father, introducing a treasured two-part interview recorded with his late dad for his Heroic Fatherhood series.
