Saints in the Making, our brand-new monthly segment here on FaithWorks. We'll dive into the lives of saints who inspire us to live with purpose, faith, and love. Each month, we’ll highlight saints whose feast days fall within the month, exploring their incredible stories, virtues, and the lessons they offer for our own lives.
On this episode of Saints in the Making, we’re taking a closer look at three incredible saints who each answered God’s call in radically different ways. St. Anthony of Padua, St. Thomas More and St. Paul (formerly Saul of Tarsus). Their lives remind us that holiness can be lived out in every circumstance — with courage, compassion, and trust.
Rob is a local Catholic author and speaker who has a passion for spreading the joy of the Catholic faith through teaching and is a lifelong student of the saints. Together, we’ll unpack their inspiring legacies and offer practical ways to bring the spirit of these saints into your home and heart.

Join Ellen as she talks with Teresa Yanaros, author of Freedom from Darkness, is the guest for this week’s PART 2 episode.
In Part 1 of my conversation with Teresa, she shared her experience with the occult, the role her Aunt Emma and the Blessed Mother played in her reversion, and how her ministry focuses on compassion. We discussed her book Freedom from Darkness, outlining a 10-step process for breaking free from spiritual bondage, and clarified important terms like occult and witchcraft. Teresa also touched on the resources available through her website to help others seeking healing and freedom.
In Part 2, we dive deeper into exposing the dangers of the occult and New Age practices, how to recognize spiritual attack and find real freedom through the sacraments, and the powerful testimonies of people set free by God's grace. Teresa also shares practical advice for helping loved ones caught in these practices and how families can protect themselves, especially their children. We wrap up with her hopes for readers of Freedom from Darkness and how you can stay connected with her ministry.

Join Ellen as she talks with The Sisters of Life, specifically with Sister Ann and Sister Veritas.
Ellen interviews the Sisters of Life, a community of religious women dedicated to proclaiming the sacredness of every human life. The interview focused primarily on their phenomenal podcast, Let Love. This season, their Lenten message of leisure is incredibly timely. In a world that constantly pushes us to do more and fill every moment, the Sisters offer a powerful reminder that true leisure isn’t about escapism—it’s about making space for God, beauty, and what truly matters.

Join Ellen as she talks with Father Paul Scalia as they discuss How Should Catholics Respond to Same-Sex Attraction?
Our culture has no shortage of opinions about love and identity, but as Catholics, we’re called to love as Christ loves. How do we do that when it comes to same-sex attraction and the broader LGBT community?
Father Scalia, a priest of the Diocese of Arlington, known for his clear and compassionate teaching on the Church’s approach to human sexuality teaches us how to respond as Catholic Christians. Drawing from his experience with the Courage apostolate, he’ll help us navigate how to accompany loved ones, balance truth with charity, and create a welcoming yet faithful witness in today’s culture.
