Italian POWs Couldn’t Believe Attending Catholic Mass Every Sunday in America
During World War II, thousands of Italian prisoners of war were shipped across the Atlantic to camps in America. What they found shocked them: every Sunday, they were allowed to attend Catholic Mass — sometimes even alongside American civilians. This documentary dives into the forgotten story of how faith thrived behind barbed wire, how chaplains ministered to enemy soldiers, and how Sunday worship turned captives into men of dignity again. From Indiana to Texas, discover the Masses that changed how Italian POWs saw America forever.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
