Ave Maria!

The Airmaria crew were so blessed to be in NYC for a few days around the Sixth Anniversay of the 9/11 terrorist attack, covering a story about the Statue of Our Lady of America, which was enthroned in St Peter’s Church, on Chapel St.

Just a few blocks down the street, at the WTC Path subway station, which is situated right in front of ground zero, friar Roderic, our Roving Reporter, met Kevin Calhoun, of the New York City Fire Dept, and shot this touching interview.

This is what 9/11 is all about. It’s not about the destruction, it’s not about the devastation, it’s not about the new tower… it’s about people, it’s about heroes, it’s about love – it’ about the “Heart of America”.

Ave Maria!

Last nite (25th Sept, 2007), Friar Roderic caught up with Corinn Dahm at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Norwich, CT, after the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass had been offered for the launch of the 40 Days for Life Campaign at the Planned Parenthood Abortion Mill in Case St Norwich.

Over the next 40 days there will be a minimum of 2 people at all times praying in front of the Abortion Mill, not only in Norwich, but in 89 cities around the country, to end abortion in America, and these front-line soldiers will also be supported by thousands of other people who will be offering their prayers, sacrifices, and fastings for the success of this endeavor. This is a history making event that will change our country!

We beg you to support our troops with prayers and fastings and to pass this news onto others that may not have heard about it and help save the lives of maybe thousands of unborn babies.

Friar Roderic caught up with Fr Angelo Geiger in front of the Abortion Clinic in Norwich, CT, on the night of the start of the “40 Days for Life” campaign, which is now into Day 11.

We here at AirMaria apologize for not getting this footage up sooner – we have been so busy preparing for the Videotaping and Live-Streaming of the Coredemption Conference in Indiana, preparing for several NCE-FM License Applications, and to top it all off, madly preparing for the Boot Camp at the friary starting on Oct 19th. Whew!!!

Anyways, all these activities end during the same week in October (the 19th) and then our AirMaria crew will receive a manpower boost, with the addition of two Novices to the team, and we will have much more time to devote to keeping up with our postings.

Ave Maria!

Roving Reporter #22 – Fr. Maximilian on his adventure in to Silence ( 9min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

We caught-up to Fr. Maximilian Dean in Carmel, IN at his last concert just prior to his entry into our new contemplative community in Tuscany, Italy near Florence last Fall. Father talks about his active ministry in music, producing Cornerstone videos and being Superior of Mt. St. Francis Hermitage. He then explains the importance of the contemplative life which our Lord calls the greater part and which has called him away from this activity into silence. Farewell, Father, and keep us in your prayers.
