In INDY as in HEAVEN | NEC Part One | Episode #142

The BeatiDudes set up a booth at the 10th National Eucharistic Congress (NEC) for one day of open recording with new friends, old buddies, and a handful of repeat guests.

Part One of this three-episode series jumps right in with the BeatiDudes’ first guest, a man who started off as a stranger walking by and quickly became an all-time BeatiDude favorite. Meet Kelly, Texas Aggie Class of 1993. This man embodies the Spirit of Aggieland, aka Texas A&M University, better than just about anyone.

The second guest is our first repeat BeatiDude in history, Chris McMahon from Aquinas Wealth Advisors. https://aquinaswealth.com/ Chris is on fire for service and shares his love for the great work of many religious sisters before introducing the BeatiDudes to their next guest, Sister Margie from the Sisters of Mary.

The Sisters of Mary serve the poor worldwide, currently helping 22,000 children in seven different countries. Sister Margie says, “We give our lives, and they respond with their gratitude.” She is currently visiting from her assignment in Tanzania. Learn more about the Sisters’ work at World Villages for Children.

J.B. Bionat, a BeatiDudes friend and fellow parishioner from back home, stops by for a total bro-out. He is joined by Nicole Richards, the parish's digital marketing coordinator, who gives the BeatiDudes some great real-time feedback. J.B. and the BeatiDudes talk about the power of praise and worship in the most dynamic parishes and organizations, especially St. Ann in Coppell, Texas.  This quick and powerful conversation includes ice sculpture ideas and a shared prayer for J.B. and his fiancé.  Follow St. Ann Parish online https://www.stannparish.org/

The last guest for the first hour of NEC fun is Fr. Edwin Leonard, Pastor of St. Ann in Coppell. Fr. Edwin, another repeat guest on the show, spotlights how the Eucharist and perpetual adoration have been the cornerstone of the parish’s growth and evangelization success.

Be sure to check out each of the three-part NEC episodes as they are released for more off-the-cuff fun with old friends, strangers, and repeat guests, all united in the Eucharist.
