On today’s episode, we will be featuring a talk from our 2025 National Meeting by Fr. John Burns.
Fr. John Burns is a priest for the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. He studied business marketing at the University of Notre Dame, but later realized a deeper call to preach the infinite love of God with his whole life. Ordained a priest in 2010, he has served in parish ministry and taught moral theology in the seminary. Father John also works extensively with religious communities of women and has provided retreats and conferences for Sisters in Africa, Europe, and the United States. Father John recently completed his doctoral studies on the theology of healing through forgiveness. He is founder of Friends of the Bridegroom, an apostolate dedicated to the renewal of the Church through the renewal of the priesthood and women’s religious life. Fr. John currently serves as a member of the IRL Board of Directors.
Fr. John’s talk is titled, "Horizon Harmony: The Lovesong of Creation and the Restoration of Order". Thank you for listening! May God bless you and enjoy!
