CATHEDRAL SQUARE: GUEST IS MONSIGNOR JOHN URELL

Welcome to another episode of Cathedral Square featuring your host, Fr. Christopher Smith.

On this week’s program, we enjoy a visit with Msgr. John Urell, the Pastor at St. Timothy Catholic Church in Laguna Niguel, CA.

Fr. Christopher and Msgr. John have a lot in common, having both served in the Diocese of Orange for many years. They were actually classmates in seminary; and, were ordained priests on the same day in 1978!

Give a listen, and be sure to share this podcast.
