“Wild Goose” was a term that the ancient Celts had for the Holy Spirit. This 14-part video series features Fr. Dave Pivonka and various interviews, exploring how the Spirit moves freely, powerfully, and sometimes unexpectedly in our lives. Shot in varied locations from Niagara Falls to the California desert, The Wild Goose invites viewers to an encounter, or a renewed encounter, with the Holy Spirit. Come and join as we watch, discuss, and discover a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit today.

For eleven days you will follow the footsteps of St. Paul and experience beautiful sites throughout Greece.
