Mike, it was an honor to share Mass with you at 14,000 feet above sea level Just curious, what was your favorite part of FJ’s story?

Dude I loved how the story just absolutely came alive with the realization of a conversion. Right then and there we come to see the glory in suffering and that’s brought alive not only in the Eucharist but the mountains and everything that surrounds us.

This made me think of the song ‘The Answer’ by Shane & Shane. Father Nepil found THE ONE who offers an answer to all suffering and all searching. Seth, this was awesome.
Thanks Jen for watching! Just curious, what was your favorite shot?

A very moving testimony that should be a part of every faith formation study program for teens in our Catholic Church. Thank your team for the 14000 plus climb and outreach ministry.

I’ve heard this story before, as Father John is one of my parish priests, but you made an already beautiful narrative come alive in a whole new way, Seth! The story of that priest leaving the 99 to pursue him, and how he helped to affect such a powerful and lasting conversion, is absolutely beautiful and inspiring for all of us who are trying to follow Christ’s call for evangelization .
Favorite shot Mark? Thanks for watching and sharing. FJ is in the perfect spot there in Boulder.

Seth, this is beautiful. Favorite shot was at 2:25 when you pan upwards. I got chills.
For all those that liked this video, if you could toss up a quick prayer for all of our current donors who made this happen; and also for more people to become supporters of this mission so that we can continue to bring epic footage to computer screens around the world. THanks ahead of time. In Christ
Fr John Nepel : just watching 3-18-13- the Journey Home on EWTN on Fr John Saward an Anglican priest who with his wife were brought to the Catholic Church through The Incarnation at a Catholic Mass in a Catholic Church in England.What captivates me is he looks exactly like my saintly Uncle-Fr.John Capuano -who must be filled with joy in heaven on hearing this testimony to my uncles life on earth.
When I consider what God did for you and look at the youth of today it makes me realize that there is hope and that God is like the hound of heaven—-loving and persistently pursuiing us. God bless you Father Seth
Maureen, thanks for your inspiring words. I hope your story is someday shared with others on this mission!

As Mother Angelica has said many times :”What a wonderful world God has created.”God works through people and He is asking us now to perfect what He has so magnificently created by doing His will on earth as it is in heaven.Peace be with you.
Fr. Philip Kemmy
See your taking it to a whole new level Seth. A wonderful piece of film and a wonderful testimony from this priest.
Father John:God has made a magnificent world for us to care for.Today,on beautiful Cape Cod we are having a magnificernt sunny day.
Everyday for 12 hrs- 17 gas -fed vehicles pass by my Main St window per minute.This is true in Denver,Colorado;Boston,Massachusetts,Rio de Janeiro,and every city and hamlet in this modern world.Pray for this world that it will always be as beautiful as it is in the mountains of magnificent Colorado.Peace be with you.God bless us all.
