OC CATHOLIC RADIO: HABIT AND COLLAR TALENT SHOWCASE

On this episode of OC Catholic Radio, we are delighted to bring you the sights and sounds (mostly the sounds) of the inaugural Habit & Collar Talent Showcase! Recorded LIVE from the Arboretum on the campus of Christ Cathedral, you are sure to be blessed by our priests, seminarians and religious sisters as they put their “hidden” talents on display. Proceeds from the event will help support the development of the new Diocesan House of Discernment in Santa Ana, a future home dedicated to prayer, formation, fellowship and vocational discernment for young men discerning God’s call.

SOUNDS FROM THE SANCTUARY – EPISODE #68: REMEMBERING RICHARD UNFRIED

This year we mourn the loss of Richard Unfried. A lifetime organist and church musician, Richard helped lead Christian worship from the organ bench of many congregations in Southern California and through the Hour of Power broadcasts, reached people across the world. He worked on this very campus playing for the Hour of Power both in the Arboretum and the Crystal Cathedral spaces. A humble, Christian man, and a singularly talented organist, his legacy lives on through his many students and the lives he has touched. In this episode, we hear his interview with Dr. John A. Romeri on Music from the Tower.

OC CATHOLIC RADIO: THE NEW EVANGELIZATION IN THE AGE OF AI

On this episode of OC Catholic Radio, host Rick Howick welcomes Keith Hoang as our special guest. Keith is presenting a groundbreaking conference being held at Christ Cathedral’s Cultural Center. Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how people learn, communicate, work, and search for truth. The question is no longer whether AI will shape the future—it already is. The question is: How will people of faith respond? Together, let’s ensure that technology serves humanity—and that the Church continues to lead with truth, hope, and love in the age of AI.

SOUNDS FROM THE SANCTUARY – EPISODE #67: AMERICA 250

In celebration of America’s 250 Birthday, today’s Episode features American Organists (our own David Ball, Dr. Emma Whitten, and Agatha Teague), playing American music (by American composers including John Weaver, Charles Ives, Daniel Ficarri, and Ryan Dodge), on American Instruments (Christ Cathedral’s Hazel Wright Organ, and the organ of the National Shrine in Washington D. C.). Here in the United States, we have a musical heritage to be proud of – a heritage that finds its roots in Europe but has developed into its own uniquely exciting genre. In this episode, experience the rich variety of American music brought to life on pipe organs you could only find in America – instruments versatile enough to bring any style of repertoire to life in their uniquely, architecturally American worship spaces. Special thanks to the music staff of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
