Priest’s faith-filled journey through cancer is inspiring thousands

Father John A. Moineau has been seeking a miracle through prayer, and countless individuals who are watching his videos are praying alongside him as he confronts the challenges of a manageable yet incurable illness. They are moved by his openness regarding his anxieties and find motivation in his faith and confidence in the Lord. For numerous individuals, his path has become their own — not just in supporting him, but also in having the chance to confront their personal obstacles. “If you’re a clergyman and you’re in pain, and you express that you are in distress and fearful, there’s a genuine bond,” Father Moineau stated. “I believe that individuals can then be more genuine in revealing the journey of their own suffering.” Father Moineau (pronounced “mono”), 60, has served as a priest in the Diocese of Greensburg, Pennsylvania, for 35 years. He is the pastor of Immaculate Conception Church in Irwin and also oversees its partner parish, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in North Huntingdon. Last summer, he disclosed that the pain he was feeling was due to stage 4 pancreatic cancer, which had metastasized to tumors on his liver and resulted in a blood clot in his abdomen. “There’s no remedy besides a miracle,” he shared with Our Sunday Visitor. “The doctors are being honest about that fact. My reaction to treatment will dictate the duration of my remission and how long I will continue with chemotherapy maintenance, unless the Lord chooses otherwise.” ‘The Almighty possesses a celestial scheme’ When COVID-19 shut down his parishes, he uploaded videos, teachings, and Masses to connect with his congregants. Consequently, the platform, Operation Safe Mode, was already established when he communicated the unfortunate news in July and carried on with further updates.

New baseball film ‘The Hill’ shows grit, faith

Rickey Hill’s journey in baseball commenced with branches, rocks, and a touch of belief. “I simply collected a rock since it’s free, doesn’t require any cash,” the now-67-year-old from Fort Worth, Texas, recalled spending as much as 15 hours a day striking rocks with sticks during childhood. “You can pick up a rock from anywhere on the street and hit it.” As a child who was raised using leg braces, he struggled to run. However, he found that he had a talent for hitting. Jesse Berry stars as Young Rickey Hill in THE HILL, a Briarcliff Entertainment release. Briarcliff Entertainment / ©2023 Briarcliff Entertainment A forthcoming film claims to depict the genuine story of Hill, an individual who triumphed against significant challenges to play professional baseball. Featuring Dennis Quaid and Colin Ford, “The Hill” presents Hill as a youth who was raised in destitution while battling a degenerative spinal illness. His passion for baseball creates tension within his family: Hill’s caring father, a pastor, advises against his son’s participation in the sport, wishing that he would emulate him as a minister. Nevertheless, Hill’s belief propels him to persist and chase his ambition of playing baseball. The movie, rated PG, was released in theaters starting on Aug. 25.

Bringing Carlo Acutis’ inspiring story to the screen

Bringing Carlo Acutis’ inspiring story to the screen

A videographer from Castletown Media located in Seattle was present in June when a collective of 152 Catholic high school students and their chaperones from North Dakota set out on a pilgrimage to Rome. He traveled with them on their journey over the Atlantic Ocean, and he captured footage of them during their visit to Assisi, where they paid their respects at the tomb of Blessed Carlo Acutis. who will officially be canonized in 2025. The video was recorded for the documentary “Roadmap to Reality: Carlo Acutis and Our Digital Age” that is presently being produced and set to launch in cinemas next year. Courtesy of Castletown Media Prior to that visit at the Shrine of the Renunciation Church of St. Mary Major, the pilgrims gained insight into the life of Carlo, who died on Oct. 12, 2006, when he was just 15 years old. However, witnessing his body encased in glass, wearing jeans, Nike sneakers, and a sweatshirt created a powerful impression. He resembles them, contrasting with the more traditional robed saints from history. Certainly, Carlo has been referred to as a saint for our era and for the contemporary technological landscape. He is set to become the first millennial to achieve canonization, and he is an individual that young people can identify with. “Several individuals remarked that he appears so youthful that ‘He’s younger than I am,’” stated Jerome Richter, the executive vice president and chief of staff at the University of Mary in Bismarck, who coordinated the pilgrimage. “They expressed that it was incredible to behold the countenance of a saint. Some were moved to tears without understanding the reason behind their emotions. Others found it captivating and commented, ‘There’s a young person I can relate to.’ Many of them felt inspired.” Their responses will be included in the documentary that delves into the experiences and insights that Carlo provides — particularly for younger audiences — who are facing the difficulties of the digital landscape. “We are viewing the world through Carlo’s perspective,” stated Tim Moriarty, executive producer of Castletown Media and the film’s director. “We are examining a reality that is progressively influenced by digital innovation, and we are seeing it through the vision of a saint who is profoundly guided by his Catholic beliefs in his interaction with the world.” He mentioned to Our Sunday Visitor that this perspective should matter to all those who are worried about navigating a world that is becoming more foreign and is influenced by rapidly developing technology. “It makes us feel unsettled,” he stated. “What steps can we take to establish a roadmap, and even more crucially, how can we offer that roadmap to others, particularly the younger generation, to navigate a scenario where the foundation beneath us is perpetually changing and trembling? How can we keep our connections with one another? Carlo demonstrates how to achieve that.” Films to inspire Castletown Media has created multiple faith-oriented documentaries that were released by Fathom Events, which will also manage the latest project. One was “Mother Teresa: No Greater Love,” created for the Knights of Columbus. The other was “Jesus Thirsts: The Miracle of the Eucharist,” developed for Spirit Filled Hearts Ministry. These movies were created in partnership with Jim Wahlberg, who is likewise participating in “Road to Reality.” Filmmaker Jim Wahlberg is seen in an undated photo. CNS photo/courtesy Pinkston “Carlo Acutis’s journey is exceptionally motivating, particularly for today’s youth,” Wahlberg expressed to Our Sunday Visitor. “He harnessed his skills and contemporary resources to draw others nearer to Christ, illustrating that holiness can be achieved even amidst the digital era. Carlo’s creative application of technology for evangelization and his profound commitment to the Eucharist render him an ideal example for maneuvering through the digital landscape with belief. This initiative serves to pay tribute to his memory and show that anyone, including a teenager with a computer, can create a significant influence through their faith.” Wahlberg expressed that participating in Catholic filmmaking holds significant personal meaning for him. He experienced a challenging upbringing and frequently found himself in juvenile detention facilities. Wahlberg faced a period of homelessness and battled with substance abuse issues, including drugs and alcohol. He was taken into custody for public intoxication and disorderly behavior, and spent time in prison for armed robbery.
