Episode 8 is live
The new pastor at St. John’s Church calls the historic chapel an oasis for the Creighton community, and now he has the honor to serve them in this leadership role. What a gift! But it’s also an opportunity for Fr. Eric Immel, SJ, to push deeper into the real world to identify all the wonderful ways God is working. He’s been challenging others to do the same.
Plus, in this episode, Fr. Immel discusses the perks of living in Creighton’s Jesuit community, his approach to chatting with students and his time sharing daily Instagram posts.
