Father Al Schwartz was a heroic man who feared nothing and didn't let any bully dissuade him from following God's call in his life.
Born in 1930 in Washington D.C., Father Al was inspired to lead a heroic life after reading the adventures of DC Comics' Boy Commandos comic book series as a kid.
It propelled him forward, eventually discerning a unique call to be a poor missionary priest. He would go on to found orphanages in South Korea, the Philippines and Mexico, laying the foundation for the World Villages for Children organization.
Every step of the way he had to confront bullies who tried to stop him in his tracks.
