Worth The Wait: Friendship, Dating, Engagement, & Waiting For Marriage.

What's being devout, practicing, active young adult Catholics like? How is it possible to be friends with the opposite sex, even when you find them attractive? What is "Catholic dating?" What's different about engagement? What's it like waiting for marriage?

Meet two engaged Catholic couples, Victor Di Sanzo & Jessica Wingate and Ben Kirby & Nati Perez. All are former Hard As Nails Missionaries. All are personal friends of His HoliMess, Fr. Paul. All are serious about their Catholic faith while loving to laugh and have fun.

In this enjoyable episode, His HoliMess interviews them about the abovementioned questions after a delicious home-cooked meal (which left Fr. Paul highly bloated, but you'd never tell). What you will notice, however, is that it truly is possible to be faithful while still being human. That young adults can practice all aspects of their faith while being madly in love. That putting God first is still possible in a highly secularized world, and so much more.

We hope you are inspired. We hope you are encouraged. We hope you enjoy it!

About the Podcast

A Holy Mess
With His HoliMess Father Paul
Fr. Paul Houlis is, in no way, His Holiness, but he sure is, “His HoliMess.” He knows from personal experience that one’s life can truly be a beautiful, holy, mess.
Are we not all, in some way, “A Holy Mess?” After all, holiness is messy! We live in a messy world, and God entered the depths of its “messiness” and made it “holy”. He can do the same for one’s life!
So tune in, and bring your mess with you. You’ll find out that God doesn’t just clean the mess of one’s life but uses it! He turns our mess into a beautiful message of hope…if we let Him.
Join “His HoliMess” for a clean, but very messy podcast.

Fr. Paul Houlis is a priest of the Archdiocese of Newark, in New Jersey. Before entering the seminary, he pursued a career in stand-up comedy and acting in New York City. His life was flipped upside down shortly after the tragic events of 9/11/2001. Faced with the close reality of death, he starting asking questions about life. He soon found that true life was found in living a life for others, not just for self. "If you get me through this I'll dedicate my life to helping your children," he cried out to GOD. The rest is history.
Fr. Paul desires to use his love for comedy and entertainment to help bring others joy. After all, the Christian person must be a person of joy. For GOD truly is a JOY to the world....even in it's mess.
