On this last episode of Voices of Divine Wisdom for the school year, we are honored to have Bishop Robert Brennan as a guest. He sits down with Board Chair Robert Schirling and principal Miriam Bonici for a conversation about the impact of diversity, the effectiveness of the academy model for Catholic schools, and the future of Catholic leadership.

Then we are joined by Nicholas Roder and Sophia Starcic, students in Divine Wisdom's graduating class, to discuss Catholic life, challenges to faith, and what to expect from Pope Leo XIV.
