​Attentive to the needs of the Church today, Giancarlo has crafted a show designed to entertain audiences while inspiring them to seek God through the sacraments of the Church and to wholeheartedly pursue their call to sainthood.

Mari Pablo

I am a proud Hispanic and cradle catholic whose life was wrecked in the best possible way when I finally decided to stop fighting and surrender it all to Him.

In a world full of lies I was able to discover Him, who is all truth and joy.

My mission is simple, to encourage others to refuse to settle for the things of this world, but rather to strive for more, to strive for Him. I want to be his instrument and help unite hearts to the Heart that heals, restores, and ultimately beats out of love for us.
