iPadre Catholic Podcast

The iPadre App is coming to the end of its life. My host will no longer be supporting podcast apps. If you'd like to stay connected for future episodes or updates, please be sure to subscribe on my website or through the Apple Podcastsapp. A Personal Note Many of you may be wondering why there haven't been new episodes in a while. I want to share that I have a neurological condition called Spasmodic dysphonia, which affects my voice. Some days are very difficult, while others are a bit easier. Even so, I truly hope to return to podcasting soon. I would be deeply grateful if you would join me in prayer for healing. I'm currently praying a continuous novena through the intercession of my late friend Eileen George. You can find the Prayer for the Intercession of Eileen George on our website (link below). If you write to the ministry, I'll gladly send you as many prayer cards as you'd like. Thank you for your prayers and support. God bless you! iPadre Website iPadre on Apple Podcasts Prayer for the Intercession of Eileen George
