Our mission is to help SHAPE and SHARPEN your faith by sharing our Catholic Faith experience in the 707 and Beyond. We will share how our Faith has shaped us to who we are today and will be tomorrow. Our faith journey crossed paths at St. Basils in Vallejo Ca. 707 in the mid 1990’s. We pray our Podcast will be a source of Inspiration to our fellow Catholics and shed light and bring clarity to non-Catholics or others who have always been curious about Catholicism.
