    <description>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.

&lt;p&gt;In this ninth episode of season 1 of the To the Heigths podcast, we are so excited to introduce you to this dyanmic duo.&amp;nbsp; Throughout season 1, listeners may have noted that these two priestly friends have been mentioned several times: Mickayla is Fr. Sinisa’s youth minister, Sarah Ryan has been on retreat with them, and Gavin &amp;amp; Max are some of their core youth ministry leaders.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olivia sits down with them in a humorous and encouraging dialogue to chat about their real vocation stories, how their youth minsitry programs got where they are now, and the real deal on becoming saints.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let us know what you took away from this conversation @TotheHeightsCTV! Thank you, Fr. Sinisa &amp;amp; Fr. Matthew!&lt;/p&gt;
