"Become a saint, and do so quickly!" – JP2

Fr. Barron Videos

Fr. Barron is a priest from the Archdiocese of Chicago and professor at Mundelein Seminary. I had the benefit of being a student of his when I was at Mundelein (he’s one of the best and most exciting professors I’ve ever had).

As you’ll see from any of the videos below, Fr. Barron is not only incredibly intelligent, but also one of the Church’s best communicators. Since 2007, he has been posting YouTube video commentaries on just about everything, always offering an enlightening Catholic analysis. Over 3 million people have already checked out his videos. How ’bout you?
