In the movies or on TV, we might see families scattering the ashes of a loved one in the ocean or near some remote place. As nice as this seems, is it really okay? What does the Church actually teach about cremation and where our loved one's remains should end up? Mortician Victor Sweeney will break it all down during this segment.

Deacon James Boorman, 10:35-10:45
He's known for dedicating his life to serving the poor, but did you know that early on St. Vincent de Paul would rather mingle with the elite than associate with the lowly? Oh, and did you know he was captured by pirates? That's right, pirates. We'll hear more about this intriguing story and what we can learn from it as we visit with Deacon James Boorman.
