OC CATHOLIC RADIO EPISODE #273: A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND

Welcome to another episode of Orange County Catholic Radio, featuring host Rick Howick. On this week’s show, Rick welcomes two special guests to the program, Fr. Chris Heath and Jennifer Clark. Fr. Chris is the archivist for the Diocese of Orange; and Jennifer is a wellness coach and tour manager with Peter’s Way Tours.

They recently lead a Holy Land pilgrimage with a wonderful group of people, many of whom did not know one another at the beginning of the journey. But after wrapping up this epic 10-day tour, these pilgrims have now become lifelong friends. It was a life-changing experience for all involved! Listen as Rick, Jennifer, and Fr. Chris paint the pictures of this incredible spiritual experience.

OC CATHOLIC RADIO #271: ST CALLISTUS CHAPEL AND CRYPTS

Welcome to another episode of Orange County Catholic Radio, featuring host Rick Howick. On this week’s show, Rick welcomes two very special guests to the program, Fr. Bao Thai and Dr. Elysabeth Nguyen. Fr. Bao is the rector at Christ Cathedral parish; and, Elysabeth is the CEO of the recently formed Our Lady of La Vang Foundation.

The St. Callistus Chapel and Crypts, located in the cathedral undercroft, will be more intimate than the main sanctuary above, and contain new sacred artwork and burial spaces for bishops. With approximately 11,500 square feet, it will accommodate approximately 250 people and have an altar for Masses. The chapel and crypts are named after the former St. Callistus parish and school in Garden Grove, which closed in 2013.

The St. Callistus Chapel and Crypts’ architectural style is being described as modern Byzantine, with gold colors akin to what one sees in a European church. The architectural firm is Los Angeles-based Johnson Fain, with sacred art from Granda of Madrid, Spain.

Listen in and hear all about this wonderful project!
