Old St. Patrick's is a Roman Catholic community in Chicago's bustling West Loop neighborhood, founded by Irish Immigrants on Easter morning in 1846. Since then we have grown into a home to a membership of about 4,000 households and innumerable friends. As we grow, we continually redefine what it means to be an urban church. We are committed to remaining open to new visions and possibilities, seeking broader horizons as we journey into our future. We encourage you to encounter the God who loves you, engage in a community that welcomes you, and serve the world that needs you. This podcast aims to welcome all into a Catholic experience like no other. Welcome to the Old St. Pat's Podcast.

Have you ever thought, “If I just had a little more money, life would finally feel secure?” We’ve all been there. We track our accounts, build our savings, chase that next raise. But today’s gospel flips the script and asks: What is true wealth?
Think of this episode as Spiritual Finance 101. Father McGrath is stepping in as our investment advisor—but not for your 401k. This is about a different kind of portfolio. Jesus says true wealth isn’t measured in dollars or dividends. It’s measured in mercy. Compassion. Forgiveness. Healing. And radical love.
And he asks: How are you managing those assets? Are you hoarding compassion like a secret rainy-day fund? Or are you actually spending and investing kindness, love, and forgiveness—generously—on the people who need it most?
The good news is, God has already deposited these gifts into our spiritual bank accounts in abundant measure, and our “return on investment” comes when we give them away. That’s how we grow real, lasting, spiritual wealth—the kind that heals relationships, lifts burdens, transforms the world, and yes—gives us a deeper security than money ever could. So today, Father McGrath gives us a lesson in how to grow our true, spiritual wealth.
