About the show

Inspired by Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati’s mantra, “to the heights,” this podcast uses the charism of Frassati's care for the poor and vulnerable to highlight people who are reaching to the heights in their own lives. Host Olivia R. Colombo takes her background in environmental activism and social justice to introduce listeners to people who are making positive change in the world–– activists, religious, journalists, youth ministers, artists, social workers, and everyone in between.

    The To the Heights Podcast, a production of the Grexly Podcast Network, takes the mantra of Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati and interviews changemakers in the Church and the world who are working for social justice in their own communities. In this first episode of season 4, Fr. Cassidy and Olivia reunite for another year of podcasting in the Media Feed at SEEK21. They take questions from listeners on vocations, goat cheese, living in a church, and everything in between––and they’re joined by a special guest… St. Therese of Lisieux?
