He has been endorsed by top leaders including Dr. Scott Hahn, Bishop Robert Barron, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, and Raymond Cardinal Burke.

We have an Early-Bird discount of $100 OFF valid until April 30, 2019. This will sell out early. This live drama happens only once a decade. **Each weekday, the homily from Daily Mass at Holy Cross Family Ministries is shared online.
