SPECIAL COLLECTION: “Care for Those Who Care for Us” Your contribution to the annual Priest Care Fund Special Collection next weekend, August 6-7, will help support the expenses of medical and long-term care for our retired and infirmed priests.

The host Darren McGavin interviews eyewitnesses to the Ark who climbed Mount Ararat (some of it re-enacted on the mountain) and experts in the subject. The film not only details how the ark would have been constructed, but also recent evidence that would seem to prove where it is located. This was originally broadcast by CBS on television in February 1993. The film runs 90 minutes and has edited for private viewing.
