The first room will highlight the many and varied religious communities that serve in the Diocese of Orlando.

The next room is a mock-movie theatre where a new and outstanding film will be the main feature! Fishers of Men is the Winner of a 2007 Gabriel Award. The film was produced at the request of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Fishers of Men explores the lives of some of the most courageous and influential men in history. Using the words, “I will make you fishers of men,” the Word made flesh instilled into the apostles the power and authority to go forth and use the same words by which they were called: “Come, follow me, I will make you fishers of men. This fast-paced film on vocations to the priesthood has been described as the best vocations film ever produced for the Catholic Church. Produced by Grassroots Films, for more information: www.grassrootsfilms.com The third room is an art gallery setting where you can learn all about the Diocese of Orlando seminarians who are studying to become this community’s next generation of leaders.
