Listen "Affirming Your Faith on Vacation"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all been there: we are traveling and someone notices that we are Christian and/or Catholic and they start a conversation with us. What do we do when strangers ask us about our Catholic Faith when in public? Whenever we travel and embrace our Catholic faith, we may find ourselves publicly witnessing Christ and could turn into moments of evangelization with those whom we encounter. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. are joined by William Tishuk, Production Coordinator at Catholic Apostolate Center, to discuss how we can live the Faith on vacation and be ready to answer questions about Catholicism while we travel.The Faith does not take a vacation, even if we are away from home traveling to Disney, the beach, or other countries. When we are intentional with practicing the Faith, we find ourselves attending Mass in new parishes or having faith-based conversations with people we may not know. We can embrace these seemingly random events as moments God has purposely put in our way to help other people to know him better. Never be shy to pray before eating at a restaurant, or reading a Christian book in the airport, or even showing explicit kindness to strangers because we never know how God will use our actions to bring about a greater world.
