Deacons Pod: A Different Kind of Grief
September 8, 2026

The recent death of legendary musical artist and humanitarian Dolly Parton, as well as this week’s 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, inspired this episode of Deacons Pod about the experience of collective grief.
“It’s just a different kind of grief that sort of spills over into the lives of us all,” says Deacon Mike Hayes, who co-hosts the episode with Deacon Mike Berstene.
Both deacons are Paulist Deacon Affiliates.
