 The Catholic Files with Fr. Donnelly

Walk with the Church. Learn the Faith. Live the Truth.


Are you looking for a deeper understanding of the Catholic faith? Struggling to make sense of Church teachings in today’s world? Or maybe you just want to reconnect with the foundation of what it means to be Catholic?


Then it’s time to tune in to The Catholic Files with Fr. Donnelly — a weekly podcast where faith meets clarity.


Each week, Father Donnelly guides you step-by-step through the Catechism of the Catholic Church — the essential teachings passed down from Christ, through the apostles, and faithfully preserved for over 2,000 years.


Whether you’re a lifelong Catholic, a new convert, or someone searching for truth, The Catholic Files invites you to discover the beauty, depth, and relevance of the faith like never before. With wisdom, warmth, and a pastor’s heart, Fr. Donnelly breaks open the Catechism and applies it to the real questions and challenges we face every day.


 Why does the Church teach what it teaches?

 What does it mean to be made in the image of God?

 How do we live a moral life in a confusing world?

 What is prayer, and how do we grow in it?


These questions — and so many more — are answered each week, one paragraph at a time, in a way that’s easy to understand and inspiring to live out.


 New episodes drop weekly.

 Available everywhere you get your favorite podcasts — Apple, Spotify, Google, and more.

 Subscribe today, and start your journey through the Catechism with Fr. Donnelly — because the more you know your faith, the more you’ll love it.
