CI#87 - Fr. Roderick in Winnipeg Episode 1
I’m visiting some of the major cities of Canada to speak about podcasting, new media and the Catholic Church, and to meet with SQPN listeners and viewers. I start my tour of Canada in Winnipeg. I’ve been invited to speak about catholics and the new media revolution at St. Paul’s College Alumni and Friends Annual Dinner. The day of my arrival, I was invited by a priest to join him and some friends for a game of hockey between the Canadian Manitoba Moose and the American Syracuse Crunch. In this episode, you’ll hear the first part of this event!

There are no patron saints specific to ice hockey. However, Saint Sebastian has a tradition of patronage of all athletes.
Warm my heart, Father Roderick, it’s a new Catholic Insider! My favorite listening from you - and in Canada no less.
Family went to Georgian Bay two summers ago. Kids that my son befriended on the beach said “Oh, have to leave now to go play hockey. Yeah, we play year round at inside hockey rinks.” Incredible the love for hockey in Canada.
Peace to your day.
Welcome to Manitoba Fr. Roderick!
Peace and blessings to you, enjoy our chilly weather…one day spring will return.
Thanks for visiting Winnipeg.
Safe journeys!

wow - you got quintessential canada: winnipeg, which the rest of us mockingly (but affectionately) refer to as ‘winterpeg’, plus hockey. Yup, we’re pretty crazy about hockey here. Glad you went to the game.
Next time you visit, Vancouver’s a ‘must’ - an entirely different part of Canada altogether, and warm! Very into environmentalism and technology.
I personally grew up in Yellowknife - check it out on the map; it’s in the very high north. Clean air, pure water, and northern lights.
Welcome again to Canada!
I passed your site on to a ‘younger’ friend in Toronto: his response: “Hey, hey, hey, Roderick’s stuff is interesting. It’s a good site to introduce christianity to young people nowadays (oh, my, g, i can’t believe i’m saying “young people”!!). It’s a mainstream approach; it’s hip, interactive and fun. What i enjoy most about the site is that it showcases the talents of the religious: Technopriest and Fr. Geek. Oh, yes, i also like how the site is not littered with prayers and novenas. Novenas such as a novena for longer, thicker hair, a novena to find a lost sock, a novena to find the strength to wash the dishes … On the downside, and maybe it’s just me, the site feels a bit cultish, what do you think?”
Please put a picture of the tee shirt on the page. Thanks !
@Brian Massie
What do you mean by ‘cultish’?
I’m not sure what you are referring to.
Thanks!
I was one of the people who was with Father Roderick during his visit to Winnipeg. If you would like to see pictures of his visit, I have put a Shaw Web Site Slide Show together of his 3 days in Winnipeg.

I’m new to Catholic Insider, but I will surely be back, having heard Father Roderick narrate a hockey game. How wonderful, how real, and how endearing.
@Paul Swart: Thank you very much for sharing this gallery! It looks as if Fr. Roderick had to smile a lot. It seems to have been a fantastic event.
Nice pictures, nice people!
@Vinny:You definitely have to listen to the old episodes, especially those from Rome. You will love them!
@ Paul S - Great photos, thanks for sharing!
I think they illustrate what I’ve suspected for a long time now: Father Roderick enjoys alot of things, but he’s truly his happiest when he’s TALKING or PREACHING or PODCASTING or…
