Well done Norm and John! Catholics lead the way - again! Good on you guys for a great presentation! I see some faces from TV parish as well - good parish that! :-)
God bless.

- amazing how much can be done with so little means. Proud of you guys, Norman, John, Chris, Antoine and co.

I have *****ed the video and would really like to show it to our parish in Church on Sunday the 13/06/2010. is this possible?

Thank God,we will not be absent of this great rendez-vous in Africa.I say bravo to the youth of St Francis in Joburg for the initiative with the relics of St Theresa.I am inviting all in 1004 v.I.Lagos to visit the website and be part of another side of World Cup in Africa. Remain blessed.

Thank you so much to the team that put this video together. That is a very creative way of sending out the beatiful activities of the Catholic and also being current. Church on the Ball?? Brilliant! Well done guys.

Well done, Norman & Co. It is really heart warming and truly reflects the catholic spirit and what it can bring to all who will take part in the World Cup! God bless!!

The RC Church,is and has always been the bastion that stood for the poor and oppressed in South Africa.I can say this with conviction,as I was borne and bred in South Africa and have experienced in person the good work done by the Priests and Nuns amongst the poor an under privelaged,in a town or dorp named De Aar where I was born,the missionary Priests and Nuns did great work in helping the poor and the hungry and the sick,when no other non Catholic church or denomination ever did give them any help. I thank those good Priests and Nuns now long departed RIP,who gave their all to help the needy the oppressed and the sick.The work has never ended it is to this day still doing the same work as their departed did so long ago.I wish them well in their never ending mission to come to the aid of the poor and oppressed people of De Aar

What an uplifting video! How wonderful to see the Church’s Social Teaching put into practice by the South African Bishops’ Conference. And thank you for introducing some of your people to the international World Cup audience. ‘Church on the Ball’ – what a great title - you live up to it.

Hey Toni, the video does not reflect an "individualistic vision"! In a positive light it emphasizes two issues where the Church is making an impact: HIV AIDS and human trafficking - hence all the images of children. A short video of this nature cannot focus on every issue. We have produced much on the theme of the family over the years.

Great to see the Catholic Church in action. A meaningful message put out. Well done - I will pass this website onto other Catholics!

A brilliant website - beautfully made & excellent message. I hope you win. XX Jo Siedlecka, editor Independent Catholic News

all the best.

Hi, a very nice video but I find it sad that while there were plenty of children, babies and mothers with babies I did not see couples, no family units, no African marriage celebration. It reflects for me a limited and individualistic vision, not the African Church's vision of "Church as Family" in a meaningful way.
