Production Underway on Documentary Film about Vietnam War Hero Father Vincent R. Capodanno, M.M., Servant of God |
Film to air next year on EWTN and will be available to the public on DVD. From the weathered row houses of Staten Island, N.Y., to a ghostly quiet hillside in Vietnam, a roving documentary film camera will take television viewers on the incredible life journey of Vietnam War hero and U.S. Navy Chaplain Father Vincent R. Capodanno, M.M., Servant of God. The hour-long film, jointly underwritten by the Father Vincent Capodanno Guild and Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), is being produced by award-winning filmmaker James C. Kelty. The documentary is set to air on EWTN sometime next year. Proceeds from the sale of DVDs will help defray expenses for the Guild. "It is a major undertaking for us," said Guild Chairman George Phillips, USMC (Ret), who explained the purpose of the Guild—and the film—is "to secure funds to pay for expenses associated with the Cause for canonization of Father Capodanno, and to spread the news" about the priest hero.

Letter From Supreme Knight Carl Anderson
Dear Brother Knight,
The Knights of Columbus is committed to assisting our Christian brothers and sisters who are suffering in the Middle East. At this year’s Supreme Convention, I announced a “Season of Truth” dedicated to raising awareness of their plight, and the plight of other religious minorities in the region.
The violence in the Middle East has led to many deaths and the greatest refugee crisis since WWII. Over four million people have been displaced. Among the most affected are Iraqi and Syrian Christians, who are the victims of ongoing systematic cleansing and persecution. While the Christian population in Iraq once numbered above a million, violence has reduced that number by more than 65%. This human catastrophe has drawn commentary from Pope Francis, who said this of the persecution:
Today we are dismayed to see how in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world many of our brothers and sisters are persecuted, tortured and killed for their faith in Jesus. In this third world war, waged piecemeal, … a form of genocide is taking place.
As Knights of Columbus we cannot be part of what Pope Francis has called the “complicit silence” of many who hear of these atrocities and do nothing. We must act.
To date, we have donated more than $4 million to relief efforts in Iraq and Syria through the Knights of Columbus Christian Refugee Relief Fund. We have also launched a website and released a commercial to raise awareness of the crisis. However, more assistance is needed, as the response from the international community has been woefully inadequate.
Please go to christiansatrisk.org to learn more about this humanitarian emergency and to make a donation that will provide material assistance to these refugees. Please also consider sharing this message with your family and friends.
As Knights of Columbus, we are called to stand in solidarity with all those Christians around the world who are suffering from violent persecution, offering spiritual and material assistance to these victims of crimes against humanity. Please pray daily for our Christian brothers and sisters—for their perseverance in faith and hope, the improvement of their living conditions, and the restoration of peace in their land.
Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
Vivat Jesus!
