Old St. Pat's Podcast
Old St. Patrick's Church, Father Bryan Massingale, Fr. Bryan Massingale•old-st-pats-podcast.simplecast.com
Old St. Patrick's is a Roman Catholic community in Chicago's bustling West Loop neighborhood, founded by Irish Immigrants on Easter morning in 1846. Since then we have grown into a home to a membership of about 4,000 households and innumerable friends. As we grow, we continually redefine what it means to be an urban church. We are committed to remaining open to new visions and possibilities, seeking broader horizons as we journey into our future. We encourage you to encounter the God who loves you, engage in a community that welcomes you, and serve the world that needs you. This podcast aims to welcome all into a Catholic experience like no other. Welcome to the Old St. Pat's Podcast.

A Time of Grace & Growth - Monsignor Ken Velo 2.26.23
During Lent, we may use this time to give up a bad habit, make small sacrifices, or add something new to our day that helps others. These small actions help build up our moral muscle because when we do the little things right, it will be easier for us to do the big things. Today, Monsignor Velo, reminds us to use the next 40 days to step back, reflect, and heal so that we can come into communion with one another.

What are you giving up for Lent this year? Rather than forgoing the usual vices, what if we decided to find more ways to be humble over the next 40 days? In today's episode, Father Foley shares a beautiful personal story about visiting Pearl Harbor with his Mom & Dad that challenges us to overcome our differences, pain, and prejudices by humbling ourselves and allowing love, peace, and reconciliation to enter the inner sanctum of our hearts.

To Know What I Know - Fr. Pat McGrath 2.5.23
"Watch your step." "Look both ways when you cross the street." "Be careful; this plate is hot." These common phrases allow us to share information we have the privilege of knowing that another person may not know yet. It's our way of showing care for those around us so we can help each other throughout our day and limit any pitfalls or injuries. Who does something similar in your spiritual life? Who are those people that provide words of wisdom about what's up ahead and help you keep going when ...

A Call To Action - Fr. Pat McGrath 1.29.23
Have you ever found yourself moved to take action to help someone, your community, or our society at large, but then in the next moment, quickly doubt how your contribution would make any difference? This line of thinking that says, “I can’t do this, I have no power, I am only one person,” may even hold you back from doing anything. However, today, Father Pat McGrath reassures us that these thoughts are wrong, and in fact, our small acts of kindness, love, and compassion are more powerful than w...

Where Do We Bring the Light? - Fr. Ed Foley 1.22.23
It can be easy to get down and focus on the darkness on these cloudy, cold, dark days. And yet, we get through the winter by finding ways to give ourselves reminders that the sun is always brightly shining behind those clouds and spring will be here soon! Like with the weather, sometimes, the people around us can be going through a period full of emotional darkness, pain, and struggle, and it’s up to us to bring hope, kindness, and love to those who need it most.

I Recognize You - Fr. Ed Foley 1.15.23
We are all familiar with the phrase, “don’t judge a book by its cover.” Just like we need to open up the book and read the text to understand the content of its pages, we need to use this same wisdom when interacting with the people in our lives. Today, Father Foley helps improve our perception so that we can look past worldly labels and truly see the face of Christ among us.

Seek & Find - Fr. Michael Simone 1.8.22
On our spiritual journey, how do we know what to seek, and how do we know when we find it? Or what if we know what we are looking for but deliberately choose not to take action or are too afraid to begin the search? After hearing the story of the three magi who were seeking what was under the star of Bethlehem, we can look to them as examples. In this episode, Father Michael Simone gives us ways to satisfy our restlessness no matter what seeking scenario we find ourselves in and helps us recogni...

You Are Here - Fr. Ed Shea 1.1.22
New Year is a time to reflect on our past year and also a time to look toward the future! Typically, we may view this from the lens of our goals on what we achieved and would like to accomplish. But instead of focusing on resolutions, Father Shea encourages us in this episode to recall the times God was present in our lives in 2022 and use that as assurance that God will continue to be there for us in 2023!

Lean Into the Dream - Fr. Pat McGrath 12.18.22
What’s your Christmas wish this year? When you start to dream about your wish, do you tend to back away and have doubts about it becoming a reality? Or do you begin to visualize it coming true? As we come toward the end of Advent, Father McGrath encourages us to lean into our dreams with faith!

God With Us - Fr. Ed Foley 12.11.22
The time surrounding the holidays can be a time of reflection that has the potential to lead one down a path of self-doubt. Did I choose the right educational path? Am I on the right career path? Am I in the right relationship? These thoughts can become prison bars in a jail cell we create for ourselves. But today, Father Foley wants us to know that no matter what prison we might dwell in, there is hope - we can still choose to allow peace and love in our hearts and be a light for others!

Getting In Tune - Fr. Michael Simone 12.4.22
The lights, the decorations, the music - the time leading up to Christmas is a time of wonder and awe! But if we are distracted, moving too fast, or focused on how we what things to go rather than being in the moment, we could miss the magic right in front of us. Today, Father Michael Simone explains that when we notice how Christ appears in our daily lives, we are in tune with God, which makes it all the easier to feel His love and have it overflow into others.
