Being Catholic:
The Creed

This new program provides the fundamentals of our Catholic faith in four concise, engaging and informative segments. Based on Part 1 of Catechism of the Catholic Church, “What Catholics Believe.”

Being Catholic Part 1 will allow young people who have missed out on religious education opportunities to begin to “catch up” with their peers. Centering on the Creed, “Being Catholic” helps prepare for the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, and to better participate in parish life. Aimed primarily at young persons, the information contained in this program could also be helpful in RCIC.
Includes leader’s guide.

Close Encounters with the Commandments

An angel helps young Anthony "investigate" the 10 Commandments a'la Sherlock Holmes in this new episode of the popular Close Encounters series. Youngsters will understand that the Ten Commandments are more than just words on stone tablets. Through real world, age-appropriate situations this fanciful program delivers a practical understanding that the Commandments are really opportunities to express love and help build the Kingdom!

Eucharist: Source and the Summit

This new video presents a comprehensive investigation of the Eucharist in three parts:

In part one, We Participate: we look at the Eucharist in the Mass, how we gather around it, sharing the story, the sacrifice and the meal.

In part two, we look at Eucharistic Adoration, why we do it, who does it and what does it mean?

In part three: We Practice. How we as Catholic Christians share the gift of the Eucharist with others through our good works.

Lay persons of various faith communities are joined by experts including: Fr. Brendan Moss, OSB, Sr. Cathy Doherty, SSND, and Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI to present an authoritative and fascinating exploration of the Eucharist. Leader’s guide included.
