In this episode Nick De La Torre invites to the show Edita Krunic, Founder, Manager, and President of Select International Tours.

Edita shares her life story as a young girl emigrating from Communist Yugoslavia to the United States and her appreciation for her strong family faith, being raised Christian Orthodox. Years later, in 1986, she went back to Yugolsavia and had an experience in the village of Medjugorje where she felt God calling her, through Mary, to completely alter her life. This began the incredible journey toward founding the first Christian Pilgrimage Tour Company to bring pilgrims to the site of Marian apparitions in Medjugore. An amazing company that now brings pilgrims to several significant Christian sites around the world.

In this “Catholic Weird Stuff” segment we learn about baptism! Why do Catholics baptize infants? What are the qualifiers for a proper baptism? What is the significance of baptism and what scripture supports it?
