Our Catholic Focus series always tries to ask the questions (and provide the answers) that inform your faith. And what can be more central to one’s faith then the question, where do I come from? This Tuesday November 25 at 7:00 pm ET tune in for an all new episode of Catholic Focus Evolution: Was ...

This week on The World I Know we look at Hope. In the first segment of this show, we meet Maverick Guerra, the youngest host of the series as a student in Grade 4. I remember the first time I visited his school because I came back to the office after the shoot at his ...

It is the classic question I have for every couple: “How did you know he/she was the one?” It is the same question I have for every religious: “How did you know He was the One? And that this religious order was the one for you?” I love love stories (especially with the way women ...

This Sunday, November 23rd, at 9:00 pm ET Salt + Light TV premieres its newest documentary A Hand of Peace: Pope Pius XII and the Holocaust. The film could not come at a more appropriate time. More than fifty years have now passed since the death of Pope Pius XII and his legacy remains the ...

Our second however, came in the form of a tour guide, restaurant connoisseur, museum expert, knower of LA’s ...

This week on The World I Know we look at Kindness. In the first segment of this show, Rachel DeSa introduces us to Kindness and how it is lived in the school community. A grade five student at Guardian Angels school in the Toronto area at the time, she had Kindness written on her face. ...

Here at Salt+Light we’re all world travelers at heart. Physically we’re sitting at our desks in Toronto….but mentally we’re all off in different far flung places. We’re not the only people like this, apparently. Our friends at H20 News in Rome (where most of us would like to be) have Madrid on the brain. Even ...
