to give his life to save another. the others is two miracles. >> the cause is a long way from the end of the road. it did pass the first look from rome. now, we wait and see what happens. >> if you think about the life of father vincent, the battles, looking at soldiers as if every one was his brother, brother human beings dying on the battlefield. he had no gun and no cover and he would go from person to person, to be with them at their last moment and give them last rites, we're talking about whether he should be a saint or not? >> his attention was outward focused on other people. my opinion is in today's society, way too many people are focused on them, and that will make them happy. if they were to study the life of father capodanno, they

couldn't help but see the goodness. if they could stand next to father capodanno, they'd be changed for the rest of their lives. >> we think catholic spirituality there has long been an emphasis on self-emptying, service to the world and service to one's fellow men and women. and so with somebody like father capodanno, as he's involved in military service, he can very easily translate that strain of catholic spirituality and emphasis on self-emptying into the work that he is doing. >> the community i think stands to feel very proud to have a native son of such a caliber, in terms of character and valor and heroism. in st. peter's cemetery is where father capodanno was laid to rest and he is visited by many admirers.

>> his brother, jim capodanno, and all of the family that i have met, they have welcomed me and my wife and my family. i talked to the people and tell them, you know, i knew this man, he was a holy man from day one to me. >> his legacy of selfless service carries on today in the lives inspired by his sacrifice. >> i joined the marine corps in the summer of 2008, in afghanistan, in the southern hellman province, i was an infantryman and designated marksman within my platoon. while they had us basically in the middle of nowhere. there was no chaplain. it was hard because you're around a lot of danger and a lot of guys getting hurt and killed. by reading about father capodanno, i read about a man who was there for his marines and i was a marine in desperate need of a priest. i can think of many occasions i

felt his priest descend upon me. >> i first joined the navy as an enlisted sailor on mt. whitney. i was attending the mass, two individuals sitting next to me. after the mass, they introduced themselves and said they are relatives of father vincent capodanno and they would like to invite me home for dinner. his father immigrated in 1901 and sailed across to brooklyn. he never left those roots. but it wasn't until i attended the summer retreat, thinking about the retreat hosted by the military diocese and they talked about the lives of heroic military chaplains who served in the armed services and one of those heroic chaplains was father vincent capodanno. when i came back to new york city and i went through the yellow pages looking for the capodanno name, i came across the name of james capodanno when

i called, he said, yes, i'm the brother of vincent capodanno. i went to his home and they adopted me as one of their sons and people would prepare a meal for me and sit down with me and also encouraged me to pursue god's call as a priest. i felt a great sense of support and love. i was ordained a priest in 2016. i also served as a chaplain candidate in the united states navy. i'm happy to be able to serve alongside them, to make that sacrifice, to step into harm's way, in order to spread the love of jesus christ. i feel a tremendous sense of father capodanno' presence, now that i'm here in chaplain school. father capodanno's mission isn't over. i'm happy to be a part of continuing that mission, to minister to sailors and marines, to bring the presence of christ to those who feel lost. >> as far as i'm concerned, they

can't do enough for this man. they named a ship after him, chaplain schools after him and lots of other things. to a bunch of marines in the middle of a combat situation, he meant the world to us. ♪ ♪
