Special Lenten Audio from Bishop Sheridan

Last month, Herald staffers Veronica Ambuul and myself interviewed Bishop Sheridan on the topics of sin and penance for a two-part episode for his "Ask the Bishop Show" that airs most Sunday mornings at 9:30.

If you want to hear the segments in their entirety, we've posted them on our audio/video page (It's "Ask the Bishop" shows seven and eight). Spread the word. Coming soon will be more special interviews with both Bishop Sheridan and Bishop Hanifen on the 25th anniversary of the diocese.

Christopher West talk to air on KFEL this week

The Colorado Catholic Herald and KFEL-970 AM Catholic radio are proud to announce that Christopher West's Dec. 4, 2007, talk, "Theology of the Body: Antidote to a Pornographic Culture," will make its initial airing in two parts at 6 a.m. this Wednesday and Thursday. This issue is probably not your first choice of breakfast-time chatter, but Christopher's presentation is quite inspirational and would be a great way to start to day.

If you like the talk, it is also available for audio streaming by clicking here or going to the Audio/Video page on http://www.coloradocatholicherald.com/.

Stay tuned also for the debut of another show, "Ask the Bishop," where we have students from local Catholic schools, as well as KFEL listeners and Herald readers, ask questions to Bishop Michael Sheridan. This is more of a conversational program where listeners will hear a more personal side to the bishop, in additional to some discussions about catechetical and theological matters. We will send another alert once we set the initial program dates. If you would like to submit a question for a future program, please send it to editor@coloradocatholicherald.com.

Herald Radio Show returns to KFEL!

Tune into KFEL 970 AM tomorrow (Wed.) at 6 p.m. to listen to back-to-back episodes of The Colorado Catholic Herald Show. Our two interview subjects tomorrow night are Catholic Olympic Cross Country skiier Rebecca Dussault and Catholic Charities of Colorado Springs executive director Jason Christensen.

Also, we're happy to announce that KFEL will broadcast in two one-hour parts Christopher West's electric theology of the body talk from December at St. Patrick. When we get the broadcast times for that, we'll let you know.

We've also got some fun stuff coming up ... Hopefully in March, we'll debut a new, 15-minute show where Bishop Sheridan answers questions from children in our diocesan schools (as well as from listeners). We'll also let you know when that is ready to launch. To submit a question, send it to: editor@coloradocatholicherald.com.

Reciting the Angelus with Bishop Sheridan during Advent

(Note: I'm repackaging an earlier e-mail with updated information.)

There are two ways you can recite the Angelus with Bishop Sheridan this Advent.

Beginning Monday, Dec. 3, he will recite the Angelus at noon each day on Catholic Radio Network's KFEL-970 AM. This is a recently produced recording.

If you want to recite the Angelus in person with Bishop Sheridan, he says it every weekday at noon during Advent at his third floor office. You are welcome to join the Chancery staff whenever you can.

In other KFEL news, more local programming will be coming in early 2008, including Q&As with Catholic Charities executive director Jason Christensen and Olympic cross country skiier Rebecca Dussault. Stay tuned...

Tridentine Mass on EWTN

EWTN Global Catholic Network will broadcast a Solemn High Mass in the extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, live from the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama, on Friday, September 14th, at 8 AM.

In our Sept. 21 issue, the Herald will look at the launching of the motu proprio (which goes into effect on Sept. 14) and what it may mean for our diocese. Also, around that time, a special 30-minute interview with Bishop Sheridan on this topic will start airing on KFEL-970 AM.
