Echoing and adding, “Bruno got you interested in Catholicism and Catholic marriage? Call us!”

Singer Bruno Mars recently dropped his song, “Risk It All,” from his new album, “The Romantic.” The video beautifully centers on traditional marriage, specifically inside Guardian Angel Polish National Catholic Church. (However, the Polish National Catholic Church is not in full communion with Rome.)

Mars features several Catholic images, statues, and even wears a crucifix and an Our Lady of Guadalupe medal around his neck. The entire video is flooded with beautiful Catholic symbolism and imagery.

“Totus Tuus, rocks! Here is a picture sometime after the program ended and fellow missionaries met up at Mount Saint Mary’s University and we took a goofy photo together. The experience of emptying yourself sharing the Gospel over the summer is enlivening, challenging, and ultimately extremely rewarding. The result of Totus Tuus is shared experiences with people who you will forever have connections with far after the program ends.” – Anthony Maurice

We are still accepting applications for Totus Tuus Missionaries. Learn more by visiting: https://www.vermontcatholic.org/ministries-programs/youth-young-adult/totus-tuus/
