Father Michael Lightner, at 6'5" and 300 lbs., was a standout football lineman at the University of Eastern Michigan with a promising pro career. He credits a confession he made during a trip to Medjugorje with causing him to join the priesthood rather than trying out for the NFL. Presently, Father Mike is an associate pastor at St. Francis Borgia Parish in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. | |

Tatiana, at the age of 19, was a European pop superstar whose records reached platinum and diamond status. But success and fame left her empty inside.
