Talking Catholic

Hosted ByMike, Marianela, Mary and Kari

Talking Catholic hosts interview Catholic leaders about what brought them to where they are now and how they are bringing the faith to their communities.

Johnna Averona, The Woodbury Station Cafe

This weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and we’re kicking things off with a delicious new installment of our Faith & Food series! Join hosts Kari and Mike — along with special guest Father Peter Gallagher — as they sit down with Johnna Averona, of the beloved Woodbury Station Café, nestled in a beautifully restored 140+ year-old train station in the heart of downtown Woodbury, NJ.

Johnna, from a lifelong South Jersey restauranteur family, shares how her deep faith and passion for hospitality have made the café a joyful and welcoming place for the community — just steps away from St. Patrick’s Church. With its New Orleans-inspired charm and standout breakfast and lunch menus, it’s a destination you’ll want to visit.

Plus, the crew sample three of the café’s signature dishes!
