I had the great pleasure of listening to Pope John Paul II's official biographer and New York Times bestselling author, Mr. George Weigel speak tonight on his book, The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II- The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy.  In his talk he speaks of Pope John Paul II's impact on the fall of communism, the life he lived constantly under surveillance by the KGB and other secret police agencies, and his last years. This is one of the better speakers I have heard and there is never a dull moment.  I hope you enjoy listening to this as much as I did.

If, after hearing him speak, you would like to purchase one of his books, you may do so by clicking here.

I would like to thank Mr. Weigel for granting me permission to record his talk.  I would also like to thank Our Lady of Mercy parish for bringing in such a great speaker and sharing this with the public.

Peace of Christ,

David Dawson

I just wanted to explain a little about how to use this website.

If you notice, not all of the podcasts are listed on the page.  You MUST click the word Podcast on the right hand side of the page below the word General in order to access all podcasts.  Also, on the website media player that you see in the upper right of the page.  If you click the right side double arrows, it will allow to scroll through every podcast audio file to listen to the one you want.

Thanks for being a part of TheEverydayCatholic.com

The giant, huge, ginormous (is that even a word?) website, Busted Halo enjoyed my previous podcast on Canon Law so much, that they asked to use some of it on theirs (Big Honor).
 I encourage everyone to give their podcast and especially their website a listen and a look.  They have a dynamic site that has the answers to all kinds of topics about Catholicism.  They also have a Sirius/XM show on satellite channel 117 called Busted Halo.
 I would like to shout-out a special thanks to Mike Hayes (of a previous podcast) for PR'ing The Everyday Catholic.  Check out his blog, Googling God, and purchase his book of the same name.

Here is the link to their Canon Law Podcast


Oh, and if you are on Facebook, add me as a friend (perfdavid@hotmail.com).  In today's world, we can never have to many friends.

Peace

Pro-Life podcast made this video.  I think it is worth seeing, so I have added it to my blog.  To hear their podcast on pro-life click here.

This is a little variation from my normal podcast, and don't worry, I am currently working on one.  I wanted to show a little video I created of the Youth Group in the parish in which I am a member, St. Aloysius.  I am involved with these kids and thought you would like to see the future of the Church.  Thanks to an incredible youth minister that God has graced our parish with, Mr. Steven Brooksher, it appears the future is bright!!!
