Heroic Stories

Father John Riccardo doesn’t hold back. He opens up about the darkest moment of his life—a moment that brought shame and pain. But instead of hiding it, he leans in, making a bold call for men to confront their traumas head-on. Why? Because healing starts with honesty, and no one should fight their battles alone. Father John credits his hero: his dad. A man who lived humility, prayer, and a God-first life. It was through his father’s example and the challenge of other men that he finally stopped running and embraced the call to be a disciple of Jesus. The question is: are you ready to answer the call?
