Faith Works with Ellen White

Saints in the Making - Mother Cabrini, St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and St. Clement of Rome

Saints in the Making, our monthly saint 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. This month, we’re turning our attention to three powerful witnesses in the life of the Church — all of whom we celebrate in the month of November. From the tireless mission work of Mother Cabrini, to the royal charity of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, and the apostolic leadership of St. Clement of Rome — each of these saints shows us what it means to live with courage, compassion, and conviction. Their lives remind us that holiness is not reserved for the few — it’s a call for all of us. 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.

Faith in the Public Square: Truth, Culture, and Courageous Witness ~ A Discussion with Dr. Michael Pakaluk

In response to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk—a 31-year-old husband, father, and outspoken man of faith—we’re highlighting an important cultural and spiritual moment. Bishop Joseph Strickland's letter, “When Catholics Look Outside the Church for Heroes,” addresses the deep longing among Catholics for clarity, courage, and conviction in leadership. To further explore these themes, Dr. Michael Pakaluk joins us to discuss his moving article, “I Was Shot with Charlie Kirk,” offering a personal reflection on faith, martyrdom, and the call to courageous discipleship within the Church today.

Faith on Campus: Building Catholic Life at NC State

It was such a joy to be on-site, surrounded by the people who are living, leading, and loving the mission of Catholic Campus Ministry — or CCM — right here in the heart of Raleigh. I spoke with Fr. Rolczynski; Dani Irving, the Development Director of CCM; and a couple of amazing students who are active in the ministry, Blake and Denny. We talked about what CCM is, the impact it’s having on students' lives, and the exciting future ahead now that this new home is part of the ministry.

Anchored in Faith: The Power of the Rosary for Our Times ~ A Discussion with Father Tim Meares

We’re exploring a topic that is both rich in tradition and deeply relevant to the spiritual challenges we face today: the power of the Rosary, the role of Our Lady, and how Marian devotion helps us navigate these times with faith, peace, and purpose. Joining us in the studio is Fr. Tim Meares, a devoted pastor, a faithful son of Mary, and a shepherd committed to helping others grow in their relationship with Christ through Our Lady. Fr. Meares brings both pastoral wisdom and theological insight to this conversation as we look at the historical roots of the Rosary, its significance through Marian apparitions like Fatima and Lourdes, and its role as a spiritual weapon in the face of today’s moral and cultural confusion. From the victories of Lepanto to the personal stories of saints like John Paul II and Padre Pio, today’s episode invites us to rediscover what generations of Catholics have known: that the Rosary is a gift from heaven—and a powerful means of grace for families, parishes, and individual souls.
