7-7:30  HOLIDAY CONVERSATION WITH BISHOP JOSEPH P. McFADDEN

          

As we prepare for the holidays, alot of us are also preparing to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.  We had the opportunity to once again sit down with the Most Reverend Joseph P. McFadden, the Bishop for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Harrisburg to discuss "the reason for the season."  

For Catholics the season of Advent is a special and wonderful time.  And for all Christians, Christmas and the holidays are filled with honoring and enjoying family and family traditions.  And as Christians it is a time when many of us not only give and get gifts....but give back and share with others who are in need.  

Our conversation is filled with information and inspiration.  We'll learn about Advent, the importance and joy of attending a Christmas service, advice on how to deal with the holiday stress.....and we offer hope for those who are alone, widowed, sick, or unable to enjoy what is "the most wonderful time of the year."  

All that along with a chat about the opening of the new Bishop McDevitt High School in the new year.
