All Hallows’ Eve Reflections, Designing Sacred Spaces - 10/31/2025
Today on The Catholic Morning Show, we celebrate All Hallows’ Eve with prayerful reflections and inspiring conversations. Fr. Chris Reising helps us prepare for the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time by exploring the spirituality of All Souls day. Architect Samantha Fernholz shares how she designs sacred spaces that lift the soul, including her work on St. Cecilia’s in Ames. And Leigh Snead joins us to discuss her new book Infertile but Fruitful: Finding Fulfillment When You Can’t Conceive, sharing how true fruitfulness comes from faithfulness to God’s call.
