Unleash the Holy Spirit in Your Life
In this professionally filmed and cinematographically stunning series, Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR will lead you on an unforgettable journey around the world and into the very heart of God. Discover the immense power and beauty of the unconditional Love of God that is the Holy Spirit.
Why the Name: “The Wild Goose”
The “Wild Goose” was a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. Yes, there is a wildness to the Holy Spirit. The dominant images of the Holy Spirit are a meek dove or a flickering flame of a candle, both of which are in one way accurate. But the Holy Spirit is far more than that.
About the Presenter
Fr. Dave Pivonka, TOR, is a nationally known author and speaker dedicated to helping others come to know God’s love for them through preaching and writing. Fr. Dave has held several ministry positions at Franciscan University of Steubenville and is actively involved in the highly successful summer conferences program. He is the author of the new book Breath of God – Living a life led by the Holy Spirit.
About the Series
The Wild Goose series is fourteen independent segments dealing with different experiences of the Holy Spirit. For the most part, each segment stands on its own so you do not have to watch them in any particular order. However, the first three segments give a type of foundation to the others, so it is suggested that you start with these. After that, ask the Spirit to lead you in what to watch next and go with that.

For decades Fulton Sheen was a shining example of what it means to serve God and men. His TV series reached thirty million viewers weekly, and his profound words were captured in over 100 books. Millions were influenced by the way he lived, what he taught, and the witness of his personal relationship with God.
This powerful film introduces the beloved Archbishop to a new generation that greatly needs his inspiring example of love for God and neighbor. It reveals how the impact of Sheen’s prolific life and works continues the lives of those he forever changed. Guests interviewed for this film include Timothy Cardinal Dolan, Regis Philbin, biographers of Sheen, his surviving relatives, friends, and many others who were influenced by him.

What are you doing for Lent this year? What if we told you: Don’t give up chocolate. Do something life-changing instead.
Let’s do something life-changing together!
This year our parish is participating in Dynamic Catholic’s FREE email program Best Lent Ever®Rediscover Jesus. Beginning Ash Wednesday (February 10), you will receive daily inspirational emails with short videos from Matthew Kelly and a member of the Dynamic Catholic team. During the 40 days of Lent, they will guide you through each of the 40 chapters in Matthew’s new bestseller Rediscover Jesus – the book we gave away at Christmas (we have a few copies left at the entrance of the Church) – and share simple ways to bring Jesus into your everyday life.
Take a 40-day spiritual journey to encounter Jesus—and yourself—in a deeply personal way. Let’s make this your best Lent ever!
