Catholicism 101: Go Back to Seminary with Fr. Chris Alar - Explaining the Faith

[@mellink14]

As a Protestant who has been interested in the catholic faith for the last 5 years, watching this video several light bulbs of understanding have came on!! Feeling more strongly that I want to begin the conversion process. Thank you so much Fr. Chris for dedicating your life to the service of God. I will be praying for the Catholic church and it's members. Please pray for me as well. God Bless you all.

[@jannessabraham2207]

Do it! I converted 12 years ago this Easter and never looked back. It’s the best thing I’ve done. I learn something new every day especially watching Fr Alar and many others.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

God bless you Melissa and keeping your faith journey in prayer! Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you. God bless

[@rebeccaedano9720]

God must be calling you to the Catholic faith. Hope you won't be taking too long to answer Him. From Philippines, sending you prayers for your faith-journey. Peace and all well. 🕊🕯💐🙏🙏🙏

God bless you FR. CHRIS in all your endeavors in evangelizing the people of GOD more power !!!!!

[@deborahdukes6096]

These conversations Father Chris had with his online date reminds me of myself 20 years ago. I was a devout Baptist who was challenged daily by a coworker who practiced Wicca. Everyday at lunch she would badger me about Christianity and the Bible specifically. She forced me to find answers to questions that I had never thought of on my own. The answers I found led me to the Catholic Church. I will be forever grateful to her that she opened up my eyes, whether she intended to or not. God has a great sense of humor and can use the most unlikely people for his greater glory 😀

[@patriciacorona2306]

Fr. Chris, I'm the godmother of a few of my nieces and nephews, my sisters' children. One sister is no longer Catholic and the other does not like for me to tell her children what to do. Before I became their godmother I told my sister I was going to encourage them and to guide them in the faith, she agreed. I have not been allowed to guide them. Please pray for my family and me.

I’ve listen to a lot of your talks Fr Chris which are all very fruitful. THIS ONE TOP IT ALL. !! I wish I can show this video to all who are conducting classes for RCIA and confirmations. What you explained touched the core of our faith which has been the doubts of most of Catholics especially the youth who left our church. I was touched most when you mentioned your nephew, your own godson who is lost. It’s unfortunate that we all seem to have that in our own family. I pray that they all realize that the turbo jet ( church ) is available for free to reach NY to CA ( heaven ) faster. Thank you, I pray for you and your Mom and Dad, I pray to St Padre Pio to pray for good health for you all.
