Michael J. Daley, St. Anthony Messenger

Mary Hess, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership, Luther Seminary
"Lights, Camera... Faith! is the most imaginative and engaging contemporary contribution to the art of preaching, making Hollywood a splendid resource for the pulpit. The homilies are still to be written and some of the films to be seen, but the method is now ours for the taking!"
Walter J. Burghardt, SJ, Senior Fellow, Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University
