This is a powerful documentary which in 18 minutes portrays the Catholic priesthood in its full capacity and spiritual power. Every young Catholic man or teenager should see this movie, whether they are thinking about the priesthood or not. It shows that only real men can be priests: no wimps allowed. I am a happily married man and father, but if I had seen this movie before I met my wife, I would have been applying the same day for the seminary.

"Fishers of Men" is a heartfelt and inspiring documentary about men who have answered the call to the Catholic priesthood. Though short (18 min.,)the film is an engaging look at what motivates a man to give his life to God in the service of His church. Replete with fast-paced images and catching music, this is a perfect film for vocation talks, as well as many parish gatherings like prayer & youth groups. I was particularly taken by the stirring images of Pope John Paul II and the wonderful stories the men told of what an inspiration the late pontiff had been to their vocations. "Fishers of Men" is highly recommended as a joyful & positive example of what truly means to become a Catholic priest.

This brings into light the awesome responsibility, privilege and power that is bestowed onto a priest. The calling to the priesthood is shown in this film as awe-inspiring, glimpsing the greatness of the one whom does the calling. The music leaves your heart pounding. Buy it and share it!!!!

This DVD is just wonderful. Brings tears to my eyes. I showed it to my Confirmation class for a vocations class. Man, did it get their attention! These movie makers are not only wonderful crafters of their art, but they truly are inspired. Every Catholic education program should show this. It not only explains the priesthood, but the faith as well. Buy it. Watch it. Show it.

I have watched and shown this video a few times since last year. And it is an inspiring call to discernment of the priestly vocation. It shows men who have answered the call to the Catholic priesthood and looks into their motivations for giving their life to God. It is a short yet heartfelt call to those who are considering such a vocation and is worth seeing by all. It shows what it means to have a true calling to the Catholic priesthood. Every vocation director should have a copy of this short documentary.

What a great film/documentary regarding vocations. For those who are discerning to become priests, brothers and nuns of the Catholic Church, this documentary is the right thing for you. Have a happy viewing.

This is a great video for anyone that is Catholic or even those that aren't Catholic. It really shows the Priesthood for all of its glory and its work towards the salvation of mankind.
