Catholic Review Radio host Rita Bittner sits down with Jack Kissane, longtime board president of Our Lady’s Center in Ellicott City, and Christine Cunningham, the center’s manager. Founded in 1974 as an oratory shrine and family apostolate, Our Lady’s Center welcomes thousands each year to draw closer to Jesus through the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Kissane reflects on the center’s 50-year history, including its origins with founder Frank Lancelotta, the devastating fire that destroyed the building and the faith-driven rebuilding process that followed. 

Cunningham discusses her path from homeschooling mother to center manager, highlighting the center’s worship schedule, vibrant devotions, religious goods shop and programs for children and Catholic families.
