Description
What can happen when a young man has the courage to follow God’s call?
Fear Nothing tells the extraordinary true story of Father Aloysius Schwartz—a Washington, D.C., native who discerned a call to become a missionary priest and devoted his life to serving some of the poorest children in the world.
As a boy, Al Schwartz loved heroic adventure stories. But as he grew older, he discovered that God was inviting him to a real-life adventure requiring even greater courage: the priesthood.
After his ordination, Father Al embraced a radical missionary vocation, serving the poor in South Korea and eventually founding communities dedicated to caring for orphaned and abandoned children. His work later expanded to the Philippines and Mexico and laid the foundation for World Villages for Children.
Along the way, Father Al encountered opposition, hardship, poverty, and tremendous challenges. Yet he remained determined to follow wherever Christ led him.
Presented as an engaging, action-packed comic book, Fear Nothing introduces young Catholics to an unforgettable priest whose life demonstrates that holiness is anything but boring. Father Al’s story can help young people—especially boys and young men—see priesthood and missionary life for what they truly can be: a courageous and joyful adventure of giving your life completely to Christ and others.
A great vocation resource for families, Catholic schools, parishes, youth groups, and vocation events.
