Coffee with Father Don

Religion EN ↓ 73 episodes

This is Coffee with Fr. Don, where we sit down with some coffee and questions and Fr. Don does the rest. My name is John Russett and I have the pleasure of guiding you through our conversations – all over a cup of coffee – where we question many of life’s unsolvables through the lens of Collegeville’s most enduring – and endearing – monk.
