The Patrick Madrid Show: April 02, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick answers calls that touch real lives and offers advice to a father converting to Catholicism as he wrestles with family opposition, discusses heated opinions on parish fees for funerals and sacraments, and weighs in against a controversial spiritual book. He shares a glimpse of his own family joy, remembers a beloved listener, and never lets any conversation sit quietly as every topic receives direct attention. Listeners come for clarity, community, and the unpredictable twists that Patrick’s perspective brings.
