Just Love is about more than just loving others. It's about feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless. It's about advocating for a just and compassionate society in which everyone -- young and old, citizen and newcomer, Catholic and non-Catholic -- can live and thrive in peace and safety. JustLove is about the work Catholic Charities do nationwide to rebuild after disasters, to touch almost every human need, and to provide help and create hope where they're needed. It's about doing rather than JustLiving.

Gus was raised Catholic but fell away from his faith in his teen years. After attending international broadcasting school, Lloyd began a career in radio, and met and married his wife Michelle. They are the parents of four children and have two grandchildren. After a near-drowning incident with their daughter in 1984, Gus and Michelle realized they needed God in their lives. Their journey led them back to the Catholic Church. Lloyd became active in the Catholic charismatic movement and attended the Catholic School of Lay Evangelization. In 1992, he joined the staff of WBVM, the Catholic radio station in Tampa, FL, and hosted a popular morning show there for nearly 13 years. In 2006, the archdiocese of New York contacted Lloyd to host the morning show for The Catholic Channel, a new venture on Sirius Satellite Radio. He’s been the host of Seize the Day ever since. In addition to hosting his daily radio show, Gus is a popular speaker at conferences, retreats, and parish missions.
The New York Times described Lino Rulli as “a radio host like Howard Stern, only guilt-ridden and confession-going.” Rulli has been part of The Catholic Channel since it began in 2006, offering a funny and often irreverent look at living the Catholic faith in today’s modern world.
