Is Rock 'n Roll Good for Your Soul? Discerning Music Through a Catholic Lens. A talk by Fr. Mark Baron, MIC

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021726.cfm On the doorstep of Lent 2026, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC begins with something simple and familiar: the sweetness of Fat Tuesday, a favorite dessert, caramel and whipped cream enjoyed before the fast begins. But beneath the lighthearted beginning lies a serious spiritual question—what do we truly hunger for?

All of us will have to face sooner or later end-of-life issues, either for ourselves or our loved ones. Many Catholics do not fully understand what this entails and what the Catholic Church teaches. Father Mark Baron, MIC, shares how the Church, through her moral teachings, can offer help and guidance in making the best decisions. Then hear the story of Emmaus Catholic Hospice, which provides authentic Catholic care to those at the end of their lives.
