Fr. Andy is Moving - And This One Hurts

Relatable Catholic ·

2026/04/16

Some changes are harder than others. This is one of those. The announcement of Fr. Andy’s move and parish changes has us feeling all sorts of ways… mostly sad. In this episode, Katie and Corey sit down with Father for an honest conversation about what it looks like to let go of something you love, hold onto faith, and trust God even when it’s difficult. But as Pope John Paul II said, “We are an Easter people and Alleluia is our song!” Fr. Andy's Homily Find us on our Socials! Fac...

Palms & The Prodigal

Relatable Catholic ·

2026/03/26

Holy Week is almost here and it’s not too late to prepare your heart. In this solo episode, I reflect on Palm Sunday and the parable of the Prodigal Son, diving into what it means to return to God, let go of distractions, and truly walk with Jesus—even when it’s hard. If Lent didn’t go as planned, you’re not alone… and there’s still time to come home! Litany of Humility Find us on our Socials! Facebook Instagram Youtube

Quiet Strength - Learning from St. Joseph

Relatable Catholic ·

2026/03/19

Geoff Kaiser joins Katie this week as we dive into the life of St. Joseph and the powerful role he plays in fatherhood. We talk about what it truly means to lead a family in faith, how fathers can be a steady example of love and strength, and why St. Joseph is such a strong model of quiet leadership and trust in God. Also… just to clarify… St. Joseph was not physically with us for this episode 😂🙏 but we’re pretty sure he was there spiritually. Fr. Mike Schmitz Homily ...

Wait... That's a Solemnity?

Relatable Catholic ·

2026/03/05

New episode of Relatable Catholic! I’m joined by Fr. Andy and a new guest - theology teacher and resident “liturgy guy,” Brandon Schetgen. We break down the difference between solemnities, feast days, and memorials, and we dive into one of the Church’s most powerful Lenten devotions: the Stations of the Cross. Let’s just say… I learned a lot. 😅 Whether you’ve always wondered why certain Masses feel “bigger” than others or you’re trying to enter into Lent with more intention, this

It’s a full house this week! Fr. Andy, Deacon Stan, and Anika Martens join Katie for a rich conversation as we continue diving into Lent.

Defend Us in Battle

Relatable Catholic ·

2026/02/19

Corey and Fr. Andy join me to talk St. Michael the Archangel, spiritual warfare (yes, it’s real), and why Lent is basically spiritual boot camp. Are demons dramatic… or are we just spiritually distracted? Why does St. Michael always look like he’s stepping on someone? And how exactly do prayer, fasting, and confession protect us from spiritual attacks? If you’ve ever rushed through the St. Michael Prayer or thought Lent was just about giving up chocolate - this one’s for you. 🛡️ Walking With

Embrace the Weird

Relatable Catholic ·

2026/01/22

Sharing our faith doesn’t always come naturally and for many of us, it can feel downright uncomfortable. In this episode of Relatable Catholic, Katie and Fr. Andy welcome back Corey Kettmann to unpack why living our Catholic faith publicly can feel awkward, where that fear comes from, and how to grow in courage over time. Fr.
