I'm not a Roman Catholic, but Fr Casey was used by God in bringing me back to faith after 15 years wandering away. For that you'll always have my gratitude!

"Everyone has an opinion of you, but very few people actually know you." True in social media AND real life. Thank you!

"It's fantastic, it's really why I wear it because I get to talk about Jesus with random strangers." How divine is that!

I'm an 81 year-old diocesan priest ordained in 1967. I just want to thank you for your great ministry. I especially liked your answer to the question, "What would you do if you were pope for a day?" I totally agree that the Sacraments of Initiation need to be restored to their original unity. You are in my prayers, and please keep up the good work for the Lord and for the Church.

The world needs more priests like Fr Casey. The focus on mercy over persecution is what drew me to religion and seeing how many were quicker to persecute when I got older disillusioned me. Along with The Chosen, coming across Breaking In The Habit and Upon Friar Review is definitely reigniting something in me; though I still admittedly find it hard to commit back to the faith

Proud Catholic here. You're doing good father. An inspiration to young people all over the world. There is a Franciscan friar from my country Kenya who was voted the best teacher in the world and he was given an award in dubai , the global teacher award ..he wears his habit too and is a great example for other people.he gives all his salary to the poor.his name is Peter Tabichi

The level of skill from Fr. Casey and the videographer/interviewer to hit that in one shot with everything that could have been screwed up - WOW, amazing production talent!

Awesome. Excellent video. Brilliant content. God bless you Father Casey.

11:00 I totally agree, I was privelaged to receive baptism, confirmation, and first communion all at once, albeit I was 13 and not an infant. I do however appreciate how I was able to understand my faith and remember all of it instead of have it chosen for me.

Father Casey, you are a delight! God bless you!

Never expected this its amazing❤️😇 Praying for you Fr. Casey

I realized after watching this that I'd like to see more of what daily life is like for you/school/church. 12:44 for example. Do you kneel down before the cross every time you enter the room? And what do you call this room anyway? The altar room? [I noticed after posting this that there is a sign that says "chapel" so I'm assuming its called the chapel. Lol]. What are all the things that take place there? 12:20 what is that cup (or chalice?) and why do you handle it with great care as if its something special, and yet stow it away in a closet while other objects are on display? What are all the objects/icons/symbols and their meanings? What are some differences between this school and secular schools? Do you have any sort of rituals (for lack of a better term) and/or prayers, mandatory or otherwise, that you perform individually or as a group? Do you have any classes/subjects that aren't taught in seculars schools? Do secular schools have classes/subjects that aren't taught here? What religious events and activities do you do that doesn't usually happen at secular schools? Thank you for making these videos Fr. Casey.

I am not Christian, but come from a Christian family and am actually Pagan, and I love Upon Friar Review and never knew UNTIL NOW that there are more videos with Father Casey I've watched every video over there, and now time to work on here. Keep up the good work!

Wonderful session Fr Casey! It was really fun to see you walk through the school and engage with the students

Fr. Casey, you are great, because your love for Jesus and the church is so real and I love you. Young and brilliant, you know how to allow Christ to use you to bring back the youth into church. I am a proud Catholic, from Ghana God bless you

A terrific video! You have the gift of clearly explaining your feelings and beliefs. Every time I watch you, I learn something significant. Thank you for being here Father Casey.

As someone married with kids, how Fr say the religious life is freeing really resonates me because I find myself wanting to love God (spend time with Him) but not free because of my marriage, my possessions (that hold me), my work and SO many other distractions. Of course I can love God in all areas of my life but sometimes, I just want to pray longer but my time is limited or when I have time I'm already too tired.

I had to laugh when Father Casey said that Saint Francis is one of his favorite saints, yet he said cats are awful. 🐈 And, Saint Francis is the patron saint of animals...oh my! 🤣

Thank you for your dedicated evangelism on behalf of Arrival

How Eastern Orthodox Christian of you Fr! The ideal of baptism and conformation at the same time! If you ever want to join come on down ! ( I am orthodox and have my masters from the Greek seminary in Boston) really keep up your great work!

For ten minutes I was like where is he going? ...then I'm like oh duh, going to see Jesus. Thx fr. Casey

God Bless you Fr. Casey

Ooohhh!.... Cat lover here and dog lover. Going off you Father. How could you not love cats?

Enjoy this video, thank you for the positive vibes 🙏🏻

Hi Casey from Spain! I would like my future children to study in a school like that! In two days I'm getting married, btw. Please, a prayer will be very well received. Thank you very much!

Certified wholesome. Thank you Fr. Casey

I must comment that I am highly impressed with this video for multiple reasons. As someone who works in the film industry, I recognize the skill and talent it takes to film something like this in one take. The person asking the questions, the videographer, and yourself--you all work together seamlessly. Your talent for public speaking is admirable. Considering the way everything timed out and there weren't any blunders... it's just incredibly well done! I am here after searching St. Vincent de Paul because I was assisted by Vincentians today. I went to Catholic school for two years, grade 7 and 8. I am not religious because I noticed too many exclusionary rules. I was even excluded from partaking in communion while the rest my classmates did so. This was because I had not been baptized. I was humiliated and alienated. I am in my 30s now and hopefully things have changed but, what are your thoughts on excluding people in the way that I was back then?

From one Patriots fan to another, I salute you!

Great video Father Casey! Very informative! God Bless You!

Rock solid! Love it.

"restore the order of the sacraments of initiation, all at the same time as an infant" YES YES YES YES YES!!! gotta remind people that having the age of reason is not a theological requirement to receive confirmation.

Fr Casey is a true exemplar servant of God and will be a awesome influence to so many…

Hi Fr. Casey, I hope you can see my comment . I really enjoyed your video .. I was educated in a Franciscan-Capuchins school from preschool to high school . Just like you I love the teaching of St. Francis!❤

In addition to your other skills you can walk backward really well!!

Thank you Father Casey!! Peace and All Good

Great question for Father Casey in Answered them very well love from another Fellow Christian

im a Chicago White Sox fan but im willing to ignore your cubs love because your videos have been very inspirational. Thank you.

thank you fr. casey. i love the hymn thaxted o god beyond all praising as well!!! i have been following you for a couple of years and still happy i found your postings. yes you have evangelized through it to me. it's all good.

Loved, loved ,loved your answer about not separating the Sacraments of Initiation and to have the done as infants 🕊️🕊️🕊️ very Byzantine ❤️

You are the best role model those school kids could encounter!

Such a well grounded man. God bless, Father

A priest once said to pray well show up, shut up so you are able to hear the message of the Trinity, and finally never give up, Jesus I trust in you.

Love your sacrament of initiation answer. I totally agree!

I put off watching this because I wasn't ready for scary questions. Phew! Nothing to worry about. 😄🥰🙏

Thank you Father Casey.

Father Casey is Awesome. God Bless the Church and Pope Francis!!🙏🏼

Quite a refreshing session, loved it. And may the Lord continually bless you and keep you in His perfect peace. Amen. By the way, Faroe islands and Iceland were spot on. As a Sailor who's fortunate to be well travelled. I had the rare opportunity to have visited Faroe islands during one of my voyages last year. And without a doubt, it is by far one of the most scenic and amazing places I've ever been to. Stationed in the middle of the N. Atlantic, I was in awe by its beauty, the relatively high mountain ranges, the architecture, people. It's simply breathtaking. Although, weather could be really harsh particularly in Autumn and Winter. Because I experienced it first-hand. And living in Northern Germany, I thought no Autumn weather would surprise me anymore, but Faroe islands did, in a "pleasant" way I guess :) I look forward to a solo trip back there again, and of course Iceland as well. And you should do same. Strongly recommend :) Stay safe and healthy, Fr. Casey. God's blessings! 🙏❤️

Awesome. Excellent video. God bless you Father Casey.

Thank you Fr. Casey.

This is a great video. I love how down to Earth it is. I would have never suspected the movies he likes and I highly recommend going to Iceland. I went there in November of last year and the people are very nice and you can hike on volcanos and across tundra. Also, while watching this video, I Googled the Wolf of Gubbio. It is a great story. I don't suppose you could convince Father Patrick to do a video like this? Keep up the good work.

Humility is the best Father Casey 🙏

This is beyond cool !

O God Beyond All Praising is my favorite hymn too!

That was a delight to watch.

Thank you for your honest answers

Love this, bringing truth to social media...have a great month

I'm 68 years old so I feel strange calling you Father Casey, but I love ya man! Your channel is great! You are so smart and wise for such a young man. I regret not being more like you as a youngster. I have a silly question for you. Was Friar Tuck as portrayed in Robin Hood a real Friar? And, were Friars of yesterday really just jolly ole drunkards? Sounds like a pretty good life to me, LOL! Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. God Bless Father! Keep up the good work!

Love these questions and getting to know more about Fr. Casey. One of my favorite channels!

When my partner was asked if he could have dinner with any historical figure, he said "Jesus obviously. Think about it he visited us once two thousand years ago and people still hold weekly book club meetings to talk about how great it was". Hes a Christian (Episcopal) I'm an athiest, but I have to agree with him and if given the option to have dinner with a historical figure, I'd probably pick Jesus too. Though I'd probably want to learn some aramaic first.

I'm MDS c/o '03, and I hardly recognize the campus with all the new/renovated buildings and landscaping. This ended up being a cool campus tour :)

"Oh God Beyond All Praising" is a beautiful hymn......... Church of England Protestant........ but Father, couldn't you have had a a beautiful Catholic hymn as your favorite hymn, we have many, many, many, many beautiful hymns as well.

Love this video!..thank you!

Oscar Romero!! Yes thank you Fr Casey. Me too.

That was fun! Thanks.

This was so amusing to watch! Father Casey, you're so charismatic and you really seem like you're a great friend!

So much to think about in your answers Fr. Casey. I now have to explore 😊

That Campus (school) is incredibly appointed with all kinds of educational, artistic and athletics facilities and its own chapel! Yes! The high school i went to had all that too but it was all in one building. It didn't have that great Campus atmosphere.

I love the fact you are a Cubbies fan!

Wonderful Video Fr Casey! Thank you for letting us know some things about you. If you could make me see why the Sacraments of Initiation should be done together and more at infancy? Thank you.

I learned a bunch of new things from this video. Thanks be to God. Thank you Fr. Casey

Great question with great answers, but the long shot was actually also really impressive cinematography

My favorites ones: 1. I like wearing the habit because I get to talk to complete strangers about Jesus 2. I pray every day multiple times a day. Favorite prayer lectio divina 3. I fast a couple days each week 4. Best advice to maintain a prayer life: regularity!

Would love to hear an elaboration on the advice to a new friar (see the 10:00 mark). It is an important concept that is frequently lost.

I really liked. Excellent video.

Praying for father to continue reaching to many. Father come to zambia

One thing I’d love to ask you is how you balance people of different faiths. If a student isn’t catholic but asks for guidance from you are you as comfortable talking to them, do you have to do anything differently etc? I ask because I’m not a catholic but I love your channel so much and if ever I needed someone to talk to and I was lucky enough to have “access” to your counsel I’d hate for you to say you couldn’t listen to me. Does that make sense?

Exceptional Video👏👏👏👏👏

This school looks amazing! I wish I went there!

Loved this and your music tatse is great if your ever in the uk we have a great music scene particularly manchester

Oscar Romero, Dorothy Day, Alfred Hitchcock ... now THAT would make for an intriguing dinner party (and they all happen to be Catholic).

Hello Father Casey. I invite you to visit Uganda (the land of the martyrs). It's an amazing place in Africa. I pray that you consider my request.

Father Cassey I really love your videos and it has really helped me through difficult times I am a Catholic from India.God bless you and your works , I will be praying for you 🙏

I love this. Thank you ❤

Fr. Casey turning around for every question made me have a headache. 😂

Love this! thank You Father for sharing

Thank you

What a beautiful school

love the spoof on vogue!!! lol

I love that Casey loves Dorothy Day. I thought she had been canonized. What a campus! No poor people there for sure.

I enjoyed this very much, thank you!

This was good, fun & informative 😁🙏🤩

7:04 yes they are. My cat Trouble (that is literally his name) chewed a spring off my mic stand just so he could get my attention and be fed (I was in bed trying to get a little extra sleep, and the spring I could just put back on but if it was a cable…)

Father Casey looks like he's trying to fend off an obsessed fan but is too polite to break the conversation lol (no hate all jokes)

P.S. Thank you Father Casey! ❤🙏

I am uh, not exactly a religious person, I guess I'm agnostic? I don't not think there's something out there but I don't really think I can say who or what that is. I grew up in the Southern Baptist church and they were never very interested in questions so I do appreciate how thoughtful this content and most of the people who enjoy it seem to be. There is something I've been wondering recently though, hopefully someone sees this and can help me understand. In some videos, he's mentioned sins in action or in thought. As someone with ADHD which results in some pretty frequent impulsive and intrusive thoughts, all across the board, does that mean in this Faith's understanding I was specifically designed to be more vulnerable to sins in thought?

What a delight to watch. Would be fun to watch more Q & A, very articulate and straight forward. God bless you both:)

Wonderful.

Don't forget Pints with Aquinas, and both cats and dogs! Nice video and neat way to interview and be interviewed.

lovely! i think we would get along very well, based on this video (except for the cat thing, lol). i'm impressed how you had all of those answers ready to go, i'd have to think for a while for most of them

Loved this one
