Summary
In this Earth Day-themed episode of Catholic Review Radio, host George Matysek explores how faith can inspire care for creation through the perspectives of two guests. First, Father Jim Bors, a former naval officer and widowed father ordained to the priesthood in 2022, shares how his lifelong love of nature informs his ministry. Now serving as priest-secretary to Archbishop William E. Lori, he has promoted native plant gardens at the parish level and at his home in Cape St. Clair. His work focuses on restoring habitats for pollinators and encouraging practical, faith-rooted stewardship of the environment. The episode also features Alexandra Palting, a New York-based actress, musician and writer who grew up at St. Louis Parish in Clarksville. Blending medieval chants of St. Hildegard with music generated from plant biorhythms, Palting creates a striking fusion of faith, science and art. She discusses her creative process and upcoming Clarksville concert, offering listeners a glimpse of her innovative, nature-inspired sound.
