EPISODE #95 CATHEDRAL SQUARE: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A RETIRED PRIEST?

Welcome to another episode of Cathedral Square featuring host Fr. Christopher Smith, the Rector Emeritus of Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, CA. On today’s program, we enjoy a return visit with Msgr. John Urell, the Rector Emeritus at St. Timothy Catholic Church in Laguna Niguel, CA.

Fr. Christopher and Msgr. John have a lot in common, having both served in the Diocese of Orange for many years. They were classmates in seminary; and were ordained priests on the same day in 1978! Since both Fr. Christopher and Msgr Urell are now retired, what exactly does it mean to be a retired priest? Tune in for this delightful, enlightening discussion!
