John Feister's guest is the Most Rev. Charles H. Dufour, Archbishop of Kingston, Jamaica. The archbishop is a native of Jamaica, and he served previously as the Bishop of Montego Bay, Jamaica. He is founder and patron of the Good Shepherd Foundation, a non-denominational, non-governmental and non-profit charity, which serves the community through clinics, children's homes for the abandoned and mentally challenged, childrein's education assistance, school feeding programs and a Hospice for the dying, especially those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. Archbishop Dufour spoke with John about the Franciscan charisms of simplicity and humility that he saw displayed in Montego Bay, where the friars "preach the gospel, sometimes using words."
