Introduction to the New Season
00:00:15
Jacob Rouse
Hello everyone. My name is Father Jacob Rouse, and I would like to welcome you to a brand new season of the Dubuqueristic Revival podcast.
00:00:25
Fr. Kevin
Because that's the name we're going with.
00:00:27
Jacob Rouse
The second voice you're hearing is my brother in Christ, Father Kevin Earlywine, and he is joining me for another season. um Season two, Dubuqueristic Revival podcast.
Why Continue After Eucharistic Revival?
00:00:41
Jacob Rouse
Well, If you were listening to the past season and the many episodes that we did, you might be asking yourself, well, isn't the Eucharistic revival over?
00:00:52
Jacob Rouse
I mean, that was so last year, wasn't it? So why are we doing a season two and why are we naming it the same thing?
00:01:01
Fr. Kevin
Well, yes and no. The Eucharist is the source and summit of the entire Christian life. So it's part of everything we do as Catholics in a way. It's at the heart of what we do because Christ is at the heart of everything we do.
00:01:15
Fr. Kevin
So, yeah.
00:01:16
Jacob Rouse
True. i would I would agree with that. um And actually, that was a pop quiz because in the ah last season, we talked about extensively that the debbuchaist or sorry that's our podcast the Eucharistic revival, the thing happening in our nation and in our archdiocese, is meant to be a starting point, ah a source, if you will.
00:01:36
Jacob Rouse
And as we continue to journey through life, going to Mass, ah participating in the sacraments, and doing good works to others ah that the we are journeying towards the source, which is the Eucharist.
00:01:50
Jacob Rouse
So um I think the Eucharist is a good thing and having more revival is a good thing. And so that's one of the reasons why we're here again.
00:01:59
Jacob Rouse
What are we going to be doing in this season though?
Broader Focus on Archdiocese of Dubuque
00:02:01
Fr. Kevin
Yeah, so this season is, ah well, certainly last season was, like I said, we were very explicitly focused on the Eucharist. And so all of our episodes had some explicit connection to the Eucharist, whether events happening or events.
00:02:16
Fr. Kevin
Eucharistic-centered ministries or um people's conversion stories that involve the Eucharist. ah This season, while the Eucharist is still implicitly a part of it,
00:02:27
Fr. Kevin
um it won't necessarily be as explicitly focused on the Eucharist. ah We will be focusing on still, though, things within the Archdiocese of Dubuque, ah but with a bit of a broader focus, not as explicitly specific to the Eucharist.
00:02:43
Fr. Kevin
So, ah Father Jacob, I've been learning that there are a lot of neat things happening in the Church of the Archdiocese of Dubuque, and I continue to hear about like neat things happening in parishes in our diocese,
00:02:51
Jacob Rouse
Thank you.
00:02:55
Fr. Kevin
different ministries, different kind of spirituality and prayer groups, ah and just different, yeah, different religious groups doing different and neat things. um And I want to learn more about them because to me, i realized there's a lot more happening in our church than I think, unfortunately, lot of people realize. Some people only see what's happening or perceive what's not happening in their parish and aren't even aware that there's all these incredible things happening in their church of the archdiocese.
00:03:23
Fr. Kevin
So, and especially now that we don't have the witness newspaper, um we we wanted to help highlight what are some neat things going on.
Showcasing Diocesan Activities
00:03:32
Fr. Kevin
The church is alive. There's beautiful things happening.
00:03:34
Fr. Kevin
ah Like, did you know, Father Jacob, there is a secular Franciscan spirituality prayer group in Mason City, Iowa, I just learned this year. Yeah.
00:03:44
Jacob Rouse
I did not know that.
00:03:45
Fr. Kevin
And it's only one of three. ah There's also one in in in Waterloo and one in Dubuque. I had no idea. So we'll be highlighting that. Also, I continue to hear about really neat things happening at our public universities, Iowa State and University of Northern Iowa.
00:04:01
Fr. Kevin
They have Catholic Students Centers there, and there is just... There is just a lot of incredible things happening there. So a lot of on fire things. So um I hear about those. And so anyways, and I'm like, I want to learn more about them. And I want to share all these, the fruits of these beautiful ministries that are happening. Those are just a couple examples.
00:04:18
Fr. Kevin
There's also other groups that exist in the diocese, ACCW, the Archdiocese and Council of cancel Catholic Women who do things.
00:04:24
Jacob Rouse
hu
00:04:25
Fr. Kevin
ah There's a Carmelite spirituality group. There's other people who have ah other podcasts within our diocese. And so we'll probably have podcasts on podcast episodes um just to highlight kind of the neat things that are happening across the diocese.
New Evangelization and Marriage Prep Frameworks
00:04:41
Jacob Rouse
Well, ah did you know that there is a being rolled out a brand new framework for evangelization?
00:04:49
Fr. Kevin
Oh, that too. I did.
00:04:50
Jacob Rouse
yeah
00:04:52
Fr. Kevin
We'll be talking about that too.
00:04:52
Jacob Rouse
Yeah. Did you also know that there's a brand new framework being rolled out for marriage prep?
00:04:58
Fr. Kevin
Yes, I did.
00:05:00
Jacob Rouse
Okay.
00:05:00
Fr. Kevin
Well, but our listeners might not know.
00:05:02
Jacob Rouse
Exactly.
00:05:02
Fr. Kevin
I mean, really.
00:05:02
Jacob Rouse
Yes. So I think you, dear listener and Kevin, you are in luck because I also want to learn about these things. And that sounds like a great format for a season two of a podcast.
00:05:15
Jacob Rouse
Yeah.
00:05:18
Fr. Kevin
Yeah. so So we'll be highlighting these different events, ministries, groups. um And I might add, dear listeners, if if you hear about some really neat ministry or someone in the diocese who's doing something that seems really filled with the Spirit, we're also open to suggestions and learning more about what's happening.
00:05:39
Fr. Kevin
um So if that's something, if you want to share with us, you can look us up. You can email me, Fr. Kevin Earlywine, k.earlywine, E-A-R-L-E-Y-W-I-N-E,
00:05:49
Fr. Kevin
at dbqarch.org. That's shorthand for DubuqueArchdiocese.org. um So ah let us know also if you hear of things you think we should talk about, neat things happening in the archdiocese, feel free to let us know because we want to learn about them and we want to share those with others um to inspire people, to help people know that the spirit is in fact alive and moving and doing much more than we often realize or imagine.
00:06:18
Jacob Rouse
So we will um continue on with a uploading schedule and we will continue to highlight things that are going on in the archdiocese, things that are worthy of our attention, things that are worthy of ah participation and that are all implicitly linked to the Eucharist.
Release Schedule and Promotion
00:06:39
Fr. Kevin
So how how often can we expect episodes, Father Jacob, for our listeners?
00:06:43
Jacob Rouse
Well, the schedule we're going with is the 1st and 15th of every month.
00:06:47
Fr. Kevin
All right. So on whatever podcasting platforms you use, hopefully those will become available twice a month, first and fifteenth each month. So be watching out for those future ones and then feel free to share those with others as well.
00:07:02
Jacob Rouse
So you may be looking at the time stamp of this podcast and i realize that it's pretty short. And that is because this is basically a.5 episode, merely a commercial telling you that this podcast is coming.
00:07:18
Jacob Rouse
So we are going to wrap this one up and continue on our revival in the Archdiocese.
00:07:28
Fr. Kevin
Amen.
00:07:29
Jacob Rouse
I'll see you in the Eucharist.
