In this episode of Called, Fr. Mike Schmitz sits down with Kerry Robinson, President and CEO of Catholic Charities USA, for a powerful conversation about what it truly means to “walk with the poor.”

Kerry shares her remarkable lifelong journey of service — shaped by her family’s legacy of Catholic philanthropy, her early encounters with heroic witnesses of faith, and her vocational call to bring hope where it’s needed most. From her unexpected path into fundraising at Yale, to her leadership with Catholic Charities USA, Kerry reveals how answering God’s call often begins with simply refusing to look away from human suffering.

Together, she and Fr. Mike explore:

✨ What “vocational living” means and why it changes everything
✨ How Catholic Charities serves millions with dignity, mercy, and the heart of the Gospel
✨ The power of accompaniment and why presence matters as much as service
✨ How ordinary Catholics can begin helping the poor right where they are
✨ Why collaboration between clergy and laity is essential for the Church’s mission
✨ The deeper joy found in giving your life away in love
