Later when Father Dom needed marketing advice for his "holy crap" he started out by talking to Paul Newman. Knowing that the actor had a great deal of experience launching products as the name sake for Newman’s Own product line, Father Dom figured Mr. Newman could offer advice. He got more than he imagined when Mr. Newman donated monetary support and offered assistance with packaging design.

Father Dom started volunteering at The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp in 1981. Over the years he has met some of the most wonderful people in the world, so wonderful, in fact, they serve as inspiration for his book, "A Collection of Stories".
