About this listen

Hello and welcome to “Who’s in the Pew!” I’m Melissa Pici, Editor of La Fe Magazine. This show is an extension of La Fe, and a production of We Hope, which is run by the Diocese of Laredo’s Communication Department.

Each week, we will get to know someone new, and learn a little bit about his or her unique involvement in our diocese. Join us here to meet “your neighbor,” the young adult seeking God’s guidance in his life, the woman who spends much of her free time volunteering to serve at her parish, the man who returned to his faith after years of rejecting God, the young woman who teaches teens about the merciful love of Christ, the widow who was carried by God when waking up to face another day seemed too difficult, and some of our clergy who have answered a special call to follow and serve our Lord.

We hope you will enjoy meeting others who “sit in the pews” of parishes right here in the Diocese of Laredo.
