    Excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed it. What a wonderful job of all involved. It was spiritually uplifting and reminds us of what a special gift we are given at mass each week. We are praying that you win. All our love Julianna

    Wow!! Excellent job!!
    And for those of you who have found this website and still think the way Daniel used to and
    are in that “666 group”..(John 6:66–those who then and today refuse to believe in Jesus’ Real Presence in the Holy Eucharist..666 the Anti-Christ number…..) take a look at some of the Eucharistic Miracle stories which
    most dont even know about:

    Step 1. http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/engl_mir.htm

    Step 2. Come to the Catholic Church and receive the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity
    of Jesus!!!!!

    God bless you, and God bless the beautiful children of Old St Mary’s!!

    Well done! Daniel reminds me so much of someone I know – I pray that he too may have that moment when the light goes on and it all comes together for him in the same way.

    Thank you for putting the time and energy and commitment into this production – praying that God will use it to draw other “Daniel”s to Him.

    Blessings from Canada – I will share this with others here.

    Thank you!
    I’m sure all of us who participated have many memories of making this, and I have to say it was a very very good experience. It was the first time we made a video together for a contest, and I’m so glad we could be a part of this! So thank you for everything you’ve done!!
    Personally, my favorite part was how everyone in our group was able to contribute to the making of this, and add things that I wasn’t able to see. We each had our own specific ideas of how it should turn out, or how we should show different things, and we were able to successfully put them all together into a coherent video about our faith!

      Great to hear from you, Julianna,
      After reading your note, what brings a smile to my face is to understand how you worked as a group to do this–I’m sure there was give and take–your video is a complete and fluid story. I’m also thankful that you brought in the little ones!
      God bless you all and thanks again for participating!

    So nicely done! There is a lot that I like about your film–Daniel is a convincingly distracted teenage boy not understanding why he should go to Mass for a “stupid piece of bread.” The answer is nicely taught through scripture passages later in the film. I like the attention you show to the Mass, having the little ones present and the role of Daniel’s sister, who is present but not pestering her brother.
    I would love to hear any memories you may want to share about making this as well as what you learned through the process. There were many involved and that often makes for a more complicated production.
    Thank you for being digital witnesses, and for focusing on the “source and summit” of our faith.
    Suzanne
