We’ve got a double-header episode of Talking Catholic today!
First, Jen Mauro and Mike Walsh sit down with their colleague John Kalitz to preview the Diocese of Camden’s upcoming Journal Through Lent program. This daily digital companion will feature short videos and reflection questions designed to help participants encounter Jesus and prepare their hearts for Easter.

Then, Mike and Kari Janisse welcome back a familiar voice — Johnna Averona of The Woodbury Station Café — along with some very special guests: her Uncle Fedele Folino, his mother Pat, and daughter Gia Nina. Together, they share the story behind Woodbury’s beloved Gia Nina’s restaurant (https://gianinas.com), a local favorite with deep roots and a lot of heart.
In this warm and lively conversation, our favorite Catholic restaurateurs reflect on how Gia Nina’s began more than 25 years ago, the spiritual touches woven into the restaurant’s culture, and their deep love for the community they serve. Plus, there’s a surprisingly practical deep dive into building a great gluten-free menu. Let’s just say — Kari was in pasta heaven.
