Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia said, "This entertaining and moving film breaks new ground in giving cultural icons an opportunity to be part of a high quality film and at the same time to speak lovingly of Jesus Christ and how their spirituallives have enriched their professional careers. Thisis a prime example of what the Church needs to bedoing to reach people where they are. It is a beautifulexpression of evangelization through media."
Bishop Thomas Olmsted of Phoenix wrote, "I thought Champions of Faith was terrific. The witness toChrist of these baseball stars and their unapologeticlove of the Catholic Church was truly inspiring. Ihope many of our youth will get to see this wonderfulfilm."
Bishop Ignatius Catanello of Brooklyn hails it as "a nine-inning faith classic!"
And what do the players themselves say about thefilm?

? Mike Piazza, Designated Hitter for the Oakland A's, 12-time All-Star.

"To me it felt like Christmas, New Year's Eve, mybirthday and Easter morning all wrapped into one,seeing this film Champions of Faith. I've never beenmore proud of anything in my life. More proud thananything that I've done on the baseball field. This is something that I can show to my kids and grandkids someday.It truly is a treasure. I'm so blessed to be a partof it. I think that every person in America needs towatch this film"
? Mike Sweeney, Captain of the Kansas City Royals, 5-time All Star.

"It was very exciting and very inspirational to seethe other players share their faith. I think it'sgoing to be a great tool of evangelization. I thinkthat if you have influence in the Catholic world, Ithink you should tell people to buy this film because Ithink it's going to spread the Word of God. I give ittwo thumbs up and it's very, very inspirational"
? Jeff Suppan, Pitcher for the Milwaukee Brewers, MVP of the 2006 NLCS.

Because it is so entertaining and accessible, Champions of Faith is being called "the greatest giftof evangelization this decade" ? greater even thanThe Passion of the Christ, which was limited to adultaudiences. If you are looking for the perfect gift for your son, brother, husband, godchild, nephew, neighbor orfather; this film is it. There is nothing moreinspirational than to hear major athletes at the topof their game talking about something greater than winning the World Series or being named a Major LeagueAll-Star ? that is, their faith in God, devotion tothe Blessed Mother and love for Christ in the Eucharist.
