About This Podcast

Welcome to Casting the Net: A NYPriest Podcast where New York’s “Fishers of Men,” your parish priests, will share the joy of the priesthood by telling our vocation stories! We hope you’ll be encouraged and inspired by hearing how Jesus has called each of us, like St. Peter, to cast aside the nets of our old lives, to follow Him, and cast a new net for a miraculous catch, drawing souls to the shores of salvation.
