"Christ for Others" - Seminarian Apostolates at the Pontifical North American College

Discover How Future Priests Become Leaders

Experience the Eternal City with seminarians at the Pontifical North American College as we follow them in their apostolates. In this program you will share in the seminarians' joy and suffering as they evangelize to people in the community from the homeless on the streets, migrants in need of a meal, children receiving the sacraments, and young adults looking for their vocation.

This production consisted of four days of shooting. On the final day, we interviewed key representatives of the Pontifical North American College to give structure and offer understanding to the activities we recorded. These apostolates varied from service to the poor, the homeless, and refugees to catechetical assignments where they teach first communion classes to children and bible study to college students. In addition to these charitable works, we thought it was essential to show that these young men are relatable. We recorded a hobby or talent for each of the featured seminarians.

Deacon Zane in this scene is not only drumming, but providing us covering images to be put over his interview. He compared the parish priest to the drummer in a band because he will be the “baseline that brings all the instruments together and leads them in song”.

Lastly, we must emphasize that this experience occurs in the Eternal City. Their formation here will shape how they lead christians in their dioceses or wherever they will be assigned in the future to serve the people of God.
