A local face will be on CatholicTV’s “This is the Day” tomorrow. Holy Cross Father Andrew Gawrych, parochial vicar at St. John Vianney Parish in Goodyear, will discuss the Lenten season as co-editor “The Gift of the Cross: Lenten Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition.”

Holy Cross Father Drew Gawrych, parochial vicar at St. John Vianney in Goodyear, will discuss the book on CatholicTV.

The shows airs at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Standard Time and is streamed live online. Fr. Drew, as he is known by parishioners, also co-edited “The Cross, Our Only Hope,” which The Catholic Sun reviewed during the 2008 Lenten season.

A CatholicTV press release about the latest book said the following:

“The Gift of the Cross: Lenten Reflections in the Holy Cross Tradition” offers daily reflections written by different members of the Holy Cross community and places a finger on the pulse of the congregation’s spirituality. Lenten wisdom and moving stories emerge from the ministry of priests, brothers and sisters including Theodore M. Hesburgh, CSC, John I Jenkins, CSC and Mary Ellen Vaughan, CSC.

Should you miss the original broadcast, check the site’s archives tomorrow night. “This is the Day” can also be downloaded via iTunes and SPQN.com.

If mobile apps and widgets work better for your viewing pleasure, CatholicTV has you covered there too.
