Segment 1: Why Jesus cast the demons into pigsIn today’s Gospel, Jesus casts demons into a herd of pigs.

We celebrate his legacy with Monsignor Roger Landry.Segment 3: The Catholic Man’s Call to Heroism (2 segments)A man―especially a father―is called to defend, protect, and foster what is noble and good. Indeed, it is for this he was created, not only spiritually, but physically. Bravery is written into his very being.
