Church of the Gesu

Does the Church still believe in purgatory? This is a question we have all likely wondered about and is the first topic Fr. Kiser addresses in this week’s episode of Fireside Chats. If purgatory is real, what exactly is it – a place, an experience? What happens while we are there? Father dives into this interesting subject to help us better understand what the Church teaches about this transition after death.

Our second topic touches on a spiritual practice that can help us encounter God more profoundly – fasting. During this time, when many of us are still not receiving the Eucharist, should we continue to fast one hour before Spiritual Communion? Why do we fast in the first place? Listen to learn more!

If you have questions that you would like Fr. Kiser to address, please share them with us! The topics can range from Church teachings or traditions to what books he is reading. To make this fun and interesting, we will leave the topics very broad. You ask what you want, and he will do his best to answer - and hopefully have a little fun along the way!
