Audiences had the following to say:
- Amy .D., High School Senior ______________________________ Thank-you! I wil try my best to stay close to God and to love him the way he deseerves to be loved! He does so much for us and sometimes we can't see it therefore we neve really appreciate it, but the way you moved me in your talk showed me that we really DO need to - Cris C,. Madrid, Spain _____________________________________________________________________
My school loved it and it was an honour to be able to help out a little. We'd love to have Mario back anytime to give us another talk! It's something definitly worth hearing. Thanks for everything Mario! - M.K. Senior from Canada _____________________________________________________
it was amazing , at first i thought it would be like a boring talk just about God [ no offence ] , but like when you first starting talking it was like BAM " i'm interesting " . And it was good that you told us your life story , because it gave us reasons why you started to believe in God ....but you decided to use your wisdom and teach us the importance of God , and doing the right thing . i LOVED LOVED LOVED your speech. - K.K , grade eight _____________________________________________________________________
- Marta F,. Madrid, Spain ____________________________________ ...Very inspirational because of what you left behind after discovering God. It just shows that no matter what situation you're in, finding God can always change your life completely. Also, the slideshow and all the stuff you said about where you've been, what you did with your life up until age 23, was so amazing that it was hard to believe you let it all go, but when you explained yourself I really found it meaningful. - M.L. Grade 8, _____________________________________________________________________

I loved it! some of your stories were hilarious, but some were very touching and shocking. Your slide show thing about god was really nice, and kind of creepy but it really let us see what it (The Passion of the Christ) was like. Me and my friends want you to come back to our school, we loved your pictures and all of your stories.

something that really also made the talk more interesting was your background and comedy. i know for a fact that your speech has touched many people present in the presentation...

I went to two talks by Mario St. Francis. I was originally only going to go to one but the first one was so good that I just had to go to the second one. This first talk was about his conversion. It was amazing and inspiring. Throughout it I was moved to both tears and laughter. The second one was about Our Lady of Guadalupe. I already knew quite a bit of the story so I thought I wouldn't really be hearing anything new. But I did! There was so much I didn't know. It was amazing how much meaning was packed into it. Both talks were really good, both in content and execution (he says everything in an animated and enthusiastic way, so his talks are both informative and gripping)!

When my teacher said we were going to hear a 'missionary story', honestly, it didn't really sound that fun...but once we got to the cafeteria (that’s where the presentation was) i was interested in what you had to say. i thought you would be the typical guy that talks about the word of the Lord, Jesus, etc...and you did but in a different way. I was amazed at how somebody had everything, living the life, and then just gave it ALL away. i think you did an amazing job of telling your story; in a 'language' that i (and many others my age) can understand. i also really enjoyed when you acted out the commercials....it added some humour; and i also noticed, just from that, that you were a really good actor! i found it interesting on how you picked you saint name to be St.Francis when you were confirmed in high school, then later ended up doing almost the EXACT same thing later in life. I found that your story also opened my eyes quite a bit and made me more aware to what is important in life. it's not about being cool, and many of us didn’t know what 'cool' was. its not having the coolest clothes, the hottest music, etc.(although i absolutely love to listen to music; it is a part of my life, and so i should listen to what i am hearing, and paying close attention to the lyrics.) However, cool is being a good person, kind and respectful, getting an education, and doing your best to succeed- and following the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth. =) (the B.I.B.L.E)

It doesn't matter on how successful you are in life, like being a model in Mario's case, God will always be there to help you. Mario's presentation made a huge inpact in my life, it just proves
on how wonderful God is to each and everyone of us through the good
times and the bad.Thanks! Come back soon.
more often and working toward...God.
