You're listening to a podcast on Catholic Saints.

This podcast is produced by the Augustine Institute,

an Apostolate helping Catholics understand, live, and share their faith.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to Catholic Saints. My name is Taylor Kemp. I am the vice president of content here at the Augustin Institute. And with me today is Dr. Scott Hefflefinger. Scott welcome. Thank you. Thank you much.

And friends, before we jump in today, I wanted to give a call out. If any of you out there love theology, are interested in theology or know someone who would be interested

in theology, right now is the perfect time to apply to our graduate school of theology, particularly

on our on-campus program. This is when we're doing a lot of work of vetting applications,

assessing scholarships. There's a big kind of, you know, January 20th deadline for that first wave,

and that is a big date for, you know, people as they're looking for school. So if you're out there

and you love theology or you know someone who is, check us out. I went through the graduate

school. I really loved it. Scott teaches in the graduate school. I think you love it. I love it. I love it. It's a great, great, great program. But really, check it out where we are. We have lots

of scholarships available. We recently moved, the Augustin Institute moved to St. Louis, and we have a

beautiful campus. There's a beautiful liturgical community and just kind of spiritual communal life there.

There is housing on campus. It's a gorgeous place to study. It's a very contemplative environment. So if you're in, if you were interested

or know someone, please check it out. You can just Google Augustine Institute graduate school

of theology and apply. Anything you want to add? Scott. Oh, and just you know, we're talking about

Catholic saints. And we do that because of how important the saints are to us in the graduate school of theology

and for the whole Augustine Institute. We are, you know, completely convinced that to be a Christian

is incredibly enriched by befriending the saints.

And so this podcast is about getting to know and to love the saints and to walk with them and to befriend them.

And so that's why we do this.

It is.
