  • Papa Stronsay

    Papa Stronsay
    May 2 2026
    Inspired by the father of all monks, Saint Antony of the Desert, a group of Irish Catholic monks set sail more than 1,400 years ago to discover a “desert in the pathless sea.” They sought an island that, while physically set apart could also be made holy—made Catholic—by God working through those willing monks and their life of worship in the language of the ancient Church, through contemplative prayer and by a life of service via the Great Commission, to spread the Gospel to lands far and wide. They found that island: Papa Stronsay, or “Little Priest's Island.” Today, the island is home to the spiritual descendants of those men and of St Alphonsus Liguori: the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, also known as the Transalpine Redemptorists. This order has been in the news lately because of their "Open Letter," a document published last fall that protests the modernist changes in the Church. Listen as Fr. Anthony Mary, FSSR, Rector of Golgotha Monastery, provides some history of both the order and their controversial "Letter."

  • Tales of Wakken Wood with E.P. Cowley

    Tales of Wakken Wood with E.P. Cowley
    Apr 25 2026
    In Tales From Wakken Wood, by E.P. Cowley, bullies pick on Peter Thornburg because of his shining silver eyes. Because of that, his dad sent him to live with relatives on the island. But something there does not add up. Strange creatures appear and disappear out of the corner of his eye. Stores are ransacked in the dead of night. As Peter settles into his new life at Wakkenburg House, he learns that his eyes carry a great power—and a great responsibility. Then, an old woman emerges to unveil the truth: the entire island population is in danger. Peter, along with his best friend, Pixel, discovers that Wakken Wood is a borderland where wonders walk and myths unfold. This dramatic and delightful saga of virtue responding to danger and sadness immerses young readers in an enchanted world drawing from the folklore and language of the Isle of Man. In Wakken Wood, the battle between good and evil requires not only bravery, but also careful attention and a love of wonder.
