YOUCAT/Catechism Inspiration:
I was inspired by the part of the YOUCAT that talks about the Sacraments: How We Celebrate the Christian Mysteries.
This is an entertaining approach that is sure to attract the eyes of young and old. Thanks for submitting! I hope you continue to develop this type of filmmaking and submit other films.
I applaud you for depicting an element of the priesthood in a creative way! My advice to you in depicting scenes in films is to do the extra work to be sure they are accurate….A little research would have revealed you used the wrong words, and yes, the words accompanying a Sacrament are all-important!

“A Day in the Life of…” is a unique style, I enjoyed it – nicely done. God bless!
