In Sacred Legions second episode, hosts Max Goller and Pat LaMarche interview Diane Davis about the profound impact of September 11th on the small town of Gander, Newfoundland, where residents opened their homes to stranded airline passengers.

The discussion also highlights the ongoing efforts to support Syrian refugees in Gander, the importance of community support, and reflections on immigration and volunteerism. The guests emphasize the need for compassion and understanding in a world that often feels divided. You also hear from Diane’s saintly inspiration, Karen Rickets.
