New York’s Catholic station, NET TV, is premiering a half-hour “Feel Good Special,” airing Friday, July 31, 2026, at 7 p.m. EST on Currents News.
We’re taking a special look at the people, stories, and milestones that have inspired faith in the Diocese of Brooklyn and beyond.
Here are some of the highlights:
- Giving a child the gift of a Catholic education is the best thing you can do for their future. A student at one Brooklyn Catholic academy shares her school journey – without an environment and teachers that refused to leave her behind, she wouldn’t have the success she does today.
- It’s been nearly a year since the 2025 Jubilee celebration, but young people from the Diocese of Brooklyn are still talking about their time with Pope Leo XIV in Rome.
- Members of the Diocese of Brooklyn’s Vicariate of Black Catholic Concerns youth leadership ambassador program are spreading the message of Christ around the world: they recently went on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic where they supported Haitian immigrants who are working to build a new life.
- In Queens, one Diocese of Brooklyn’s parishioner’s life was saved by fate – she survived a heart attack thanks to people in the pews, and now she’s sharing her story to advocate for more healthy and safety protocols in churches.
- One woman’s connection to God and love of nature are inspiring her to sing songs inspired by St. Francis: recording artist Karen Olson joins us in the studio to play her tune, “Pilgrimage Prayer.”
