YEAR FOR PRIESTS TV INTERVIEWS--The 4 brief video clips accessible here via our web site were made by Fr. Bob Schrader while visiting native parishioner Fr. Thomas Rosica, C.S.B. in Toronto on August 18, 2009. Fr. Tom is Chief Executive Officer of Canada's Salt and Light Television Network (similar to EWTN here in the U.S.), and recorded interviews with numerous priests to play intermittently throughout the day during the Year For Priests (June 19, 2009-June 19, 2010) on his network. Here, Fr. Bob responds to questions posed by an off-camera Fr. Tom. We post this here just so you can see what is playing north of the border. » more
