The Miracle of Father Kapaun

Servant of God Fr. Emil Kapaun may be little known, but he deserves wider recognition. A son of Czech immigrants who grew up on a small Kansas farm, this unassuming farm boy became one of the Korean War’s most inspiring heroes. Unlike many war heroes, this military chaplain is also on the road to sainthood. The Diocese of Wichita has opened his cause for canonization, and two medical miracles attributed to him are being investigated by the Vatican. He has also been nominated for the Medal of Honor, the highest military medal. In this powerful documentary, discover his compelling life story, his heroic service as a chaplain in battle, and his leadership and comfort of fellow American prisoners after capture and torture by the Communists.
