Fr Chris Alar’s impact on me

I discovered Fr Chris during Covid and now he has become a part of my daily routine. I have learned so much from him and appreciate all the effort he has put into each topic. He is in my prayers and I do my best to get others to watch his talks. They are priceless!!!

True Church Teachings

What a great and informative podcast. I watch many of these on the YouTube channel “Devine Mercy”, which is fantastic because they are done inside the beautiful church. As a new Catholic, it’s so great to get these in depth discussions on a variety of Church teachings, Church history and great Saints of the Church.
Thank you to all the great Marian Fathers and especially Father Chris for these podcasts!
