Catholic Family Stories
Joseph Scordato, OFS
Show overview
Catholic Family Stories has been publishing since 2019, and across the 4 years since has built a catalogue of 22 episodes. That works out to roughly 8 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a roughly quarterly cadence.
Episodes typically run twenty to thirty-five minutes — most land between 13 min and 30 min — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. None of the episodes are flagged explicit by the publisher. It is catalogued as a EN-language Kids & Family show.
The catalogue appears to be on hiatus or wound down — the most recent episode landed 3.2 years ago, with no new episodes in over a year. The busiest year was 2020, with 13 episodes published. Published by Joseph Scordato, OFS.
From the publisher
New fiction for families inspired in the style of the classics meditating on the Sacraments, the Gospel, and Catholic Family Life. Featured music by Emerald Wind.
