C&SI - Summer Reflection Series 2026 - "Catholic Mothers Ireland with Sinead Strong" (TheWay.ie) - 16 Aug 2026 (S06E37)

Thank you.

So good morning, listeners, and welcome to Come and See Inspirations.

And this, the 16th of August, it's the 20th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

My name is John Kelly, and help me again to present this podcast.

Shane Ambrose, how are you, Shane? Good morning to you.

I'm not too bad, John.

How are we keeping?

Good, Shane.

Thanks a lot, dear, for joining me.

And Shane and myself would also like to welcome those who are joining us from various parts of the world who listen to us on our podcast online.

Actually, we got a nice little email in during the week, Shane, from the Buzzsprout people congratulating us on reaching a bit of a milestone.

We got 75,000 listeners somewhere in the world.

Welcome, guys.

Thanks a lot indeed for joining us.

And also we want to welcome our listeners who are housebound, especially those who are housebound, lonely and struggling in some way.

You might be in nursing homes, you might be home by yourself, you might be in hospital, wherever you are.

You're welcome and thanks indeed for joining us and thanks especially for your prayers.

Just a reminder again that our weekly program and podcast does include notices about faith events.

And these events could be local, national and from time to time international.

We include interviews and we chat on faith topics.

We play inspirational music and we reflect on the Sunday Gospels.

You want to listen back to any one of those podcasts that we've got over the years, just Google Come and See Inspirations.

You'll find us there.

That's Come and See Inspirations.

Also on our blog, going back to 2010, sacredspace102.blogspot.com. Again, just Google Sacred Space 102.

You'll find us there.

We're also available to be heard on Spotify, iTunes, and Come and See Inspirations on YouTube.

We also have a presence on Facebook at Come and See Inspirations.
