S1E2: The Extraordinary One | The Three Pledges (Danny Thomas)
Holy Donors
Danny Thomas is committed to working in showbusiness, but with a fledgling career and a child on the way he is in need of some help. The "Hollywood" version of the story tells that in one shining moment Danny had a vision and made a pledge to St. Jude that changed the course of his life, but the real story is an escalation of three pledges over a number of years and at different stages in Danny's life and career. The pledges kept Danny on track to build a shrine to St. Jude, but the vision for that shrine would take finally take form as the result of a vivid, terrifying dream that Danny experienced one night. --- Recommended reading: "Make Room for Danny" by Danny Thomas Specials thanks to Nichole Aldape of ALSAC for contributing to this season. --- Holy Donors is brought to you by Petrus Development (petrusdevelopment.com) in cooperation with RED-C Catholic Radio (redcradio.org).
