View descriptionShare

Fr. Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss St. Nicholas: The Spirit of giving

  • Who was Saint Nicholas?
  • (5:24) why do we need to be aware of Church teaching?
  • (15:37) Maria - Story about generosity. I was in a class with a bunch of different instruments, and the nuns said we needed to each bring a dollar to school to help pay for a broken drum.

(17:44) Break 1

  • Geri - Tradition: We would use our dads athletic socks. We would fill them with fruit and nuts (in the socks) to teach stories from the bible. Pretty cool tradition
  • (22:20) Carl - Tradition: slippers at the foot of the door and we would put cookies or something that we could give to someone outside of our home who was in need
  • Lorraine - I have a fractured spine and there are people at my church that are helping me. I made a donation to RR in honor those people helping me.

(33:17) Break 2

  • Father Rocky Shares a special book he wrote about Mary.
  • (46:07) Joey - Before my mom died, we were talking about charity. She reminded me of something I did that made her proud of me. On a field trip, I bought another little kid a lunch when I saw she didn't have one.
