Former SNL star reveals why the Catholic faith is hotter than ever this Easter — as she recalls going to Mass with Chris Farley

Ahead of Easter, faith — and, especially, Catholicism — is suddenly everywhere: with social media influencers, a documented rise in converts and even a Hollywood swell.

And the new podcast “Catholics and Cappuccinos,” hosted by actress and former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Siobhan Fallon Hogan, is offering insight into all of the above with revelatory conversations with celebs as well as influential priests like Fr. Donald Haggerty.

Guests include Kevin James, Patricia Heaton, “Raging Bull” star Cathy Moriarty and Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in “The Chosen.” Federico Castelluccio, otherwise known as Furio in “The Sopranos,” chats with Fallon Hogan in an upcoming episode.

I recently discovered the pod when a clip hit my Instagram (please note my very virtuous algorithm).

In it, Fallon Hogan was talking to James about how she used to attend Mass with her “very faithful” SNL co-star, the late Chris Farley. She also recalled his memorial at St. Malachy’s. In a sea of megastars with the gift of gab, who would eulogize him?
