Please find the time to view or record (OR BOTH!) the 13 part series called "What Catholics really believe" presented by Dr. Ray Guarendi and Fr. Kevin Fete. I purchased this series several months ago and have found it to be a wonderful source in bringing non Catholics to a better understanding of what the Church teaches. The series starts on June 4 and runs for 2 1/2 weeks. It is being shown at 06:30 PM Eastern time.
Program Titles include:
- Jesus
- The Bible
- Scripture and Tradition
- Eucharist, Part 1
- Eucharist, Part 2
- Baptism
- Morality
- Confession
- St. Mary, Part 1
- St. Mary, Part 2
- St. Peter
- The Papacy
- Purgatory
Here is the link that lists this series along with others being shown on EWTN in June:

Thanks for the heads-up, Bill. If you can, please post a reminder a day or two in advance.

It's also worth noting that the program will run at 3 A.M. Eastern US Time as well as the 6:30 P.M. showing. It's often easier to program a VCR to tape in the middle of the night than to watch a program while trying to run a household!

I recently caught the second half of Dr. Ray's reversion story "Why Be Catholic?" on EWTN. I thought it was great. I hope they air it again sometime!
It can be purchased from Nineveh's Crossing:
"Dr. Ray is back, as he relates the story of his return to the Catholic Church after 10 years as an Evangelical Protestant. Christian Apologetics has never been so entertaining... or logical."

I watched the first episode this afternoon, and I have a VCR set to tape the next one overnight.
I liked Father's comparison of the statement "I am saved" with "I am thin" ... just because I said it doesn't make it so!
Looks like this would make a good presentation for RCIA Inquiry, with a half-hour video presentation and discussion following.

This is indeed a great series. Uniquely and brilliantly done! I have a strong affinity for both Dr. Ray and his pastor mentor, the late Fr. Kevin Fete. I've been praying to him since Doc wrote me of his passing last summer. He wrote me the night of his passing to glory, July 23, (now a feast day for me!) Fr. Kevin's our 'patron saint' of our apostolate, RECON. Sometimes I am just overwhelmed at the things happening in my life, obvioulsy since becoming Catholic, and definitely since praying to Father Kevin!
I have a wonderful Fr. Kevin connection story that occurred while in ROME on pilgrimage in May. I was talking about my love for the Communion of Saints to a priest on our pilgrimage. Fr. Gerard Willger from WI. His mouth dropped open and his eyes grew wide when I started describing this priest to whom I've been praying. It turns out that Fr.Willger was a very good friend of Fr. Kevin's and he was just mind-boggled! He kept saying 'This is mind-boggling!" We both were just amazed. He told me more about him when we were in Assisi. Father Kevin willed all of his icon collection to Father Gerard and I can't wait to visit him in Wisconsin to see them!
I'd never met Fr. Kevin in my life, but I am coming to learn more about him all the time through others in 'divinely designed' encounters. Amazing things have happened since I've been praying to him and it just continues. So I suggest if you want a new friend and saint in Heaven to pray to, Father Kevin is there to hear your intentions. I pray to Fr. Lauer, too. I LOVE PRIESTS! They burn out for all of us, and work so hard and give us Christ everyday! They do so while in Heaven, too. Like my husband has said regarding Father Kevin, "he's new and he likes to show off."
Since he died from kidney cancer, I've been praying to him for a friend's grandson who has had an immune disease since he was 2 and has many kidney complications as a result of it and the many meds. He's 12 now and is improving and I believe Father's intercession is helping him...although my Evangelical friend isn't "into that' she's thanked me for my prayers, so I just send it on to Father. I call it "stormin' heaven with Father Kevin." He's praying for her, too, and one day, she'll be coming back Home into the Church like I did (but never thought I would!) The humor of God still makes me grin!
I "fell in love" with Father Kevin watching the series last summer. He just has a special, gentle love and way about him that shines through his smile and in his eyes. I'd ordered the dvd's about a month before he died, and got them a couple weeks before. July 24, Monday, I opened them, and the first image I saw, was Father laughing and obviously laughing hard, on the back of the dvd. Seeing that, I knew he was special, and watching him and listening to his gentle but firm answers to Doc's "antagonist" questions, was just brilliant! He's a holy man with a glorious sense of humor and that is what is so appealing. Both of them bounced off each other so well. Holiness and and true sense of humor go hand in hand.
I know Father Kevin had/still has a huge heart and a merry soul and is busy, along with St. Therese spending his heaven doing good on the earth! He was priest at Little Flower parish, Canton OH and so that's why I pray to him and St. Therese together. I have a St. Therese rosary with her picture on it, and "Fr. Kevin" engraved on a disk attached just under her picture. I've also had "Fr. Kevin engraved on the back of another St. Therese medal I have. I had it blessed in ROME during the Wed. Audience of May 23. It's a very precious possession of mine and I cherish it so much. Fr. Kevin and St Therese are my "go to team" my "dynamic duo." As I told Fr. Willger when we said our goodbyes at the airport in Rome, "Pray to your friend. He's powerful and waiting to hear."
I'm praying now to get to go to Ohio to meet Father's mom, Dorothy. I had no idea of how to get there. I'm in Nebraska and it's a 13.5 hour trip to Canton. The bus and train and plane are pretty much out of the question, and so I was getting a little bummed, when lo and behold, my friend at KVSS, Kris, who I went on this pilgrimage with said last Thursday, "I'm going to Ohio in November".... sooo, looks like that might just be another 'connection' being woven together in higher places. We'll see. I know I'll meet her someday. I just long to tell her in person how grateful I am that she raised such a boy who grew to be such a holy, orthodox priest who loves the Church and Our Lady and has touched the lives of far more people than he ever could have dreamed of now. One wonders why he was taken from here at so young an age, but with that dvd, I think it was a 'preparation' for his exit from earth as a lasting legacy and we'll one day know the rest of the story. In reality, Father's only changed pulpits, and is still bringing Christ to others and others to Christ. He's certainly not 'dead and gone.' as our separated brethren seem to think of those who've died. Amen. Father Kevin, pray for us!

| Dear Prayerie Pal, What a wonderful testimony to Fr. Kevin. I have watched the program with him and Dr. Ray and it has been great. I knew he had passed away but didn't know the details. Thanks for sharing that love with us and again, what a great tribute to the priesthood.
