Most Rev. W. Shawn McKnight, Bishop of Jefferson City discusses the challenges of being a bishop, his favorite thing about being a bishop (celebrating Confirmations!) as well as his favorite saints, including two who are connected to his home diocese of Wichita and his current diocese of Jefferson City. Bp. McKnight talks about the foundation of his spirituality and the necessity of living in gratitude as a Eucharistic people. Bp. McKnight also talks about the challenges of the COVID pandemic and how his priests overcame those challenges to stay in touch with their parishioners (including an initiative called Priest on the Porch) and why a desire to serve the laity is important for the mission of the Church. Bp. McKnight currently serves as the Chairman for the Subcommittee on Catholic Home Missions and discusses why the Home Missions Appeal is so important for the life of the Church.
