Viatorian Voices: Conversations on the Way

Join us to learn more about the Viatorians, our charism, mission, and ministry, and the ways our brothers, priests, associates, and communities are proclaiming Christ and His Gospel and raising communities where faith is lived, deepened, and celebrated.

Special Series

Bolder Dreams is a ministerial development series that responds to Fr. Querbes’ insight that people are bolder when they dream they are doing God’s will. In this series, guests from outside the Viatorian Community share insights on integral Viatorian topics. Our goal is for their fresh perspective to renew and re-embolden our ministries. These episodes appear in the podcast feed.

A Lively and Enlightened Faith: Catholic Social Teaching in the Viatorian Community is a series focused on the themes of CST. It’s housed in its own special webpage, which includes all its resources. The series centers on special episodes of our podcast, which also appear in our podcast feed.

Ep. 57: Young Adults in Music Ministry with Associate Ky Guerrero and Associate Anthony Gugino

Viatorians are committed to walking with young people and are called to serve the holy altar, often through liturgical ministry leadership. In some cases, all these ministerial preferences align and form people to serve. Associate Anthony Gugino went from VYC participant to VYC leader to VYC music director, and later added local leadership to his resume when he took charge of the Sunday evening Mass at St. Viator Catholic Community. Associate Ky Guerrero followed a similar pipeline and joined Anthony in leading VYC music while also becoming a music ministry leader at Viatorian-founded parish, St. Thomas More, through its LifeTeen youth group.
