“I Was Wrong” - 30 minutes
A documentary that captures the changed hearts of two women forever altered by
abortion. Norma McCorvey, “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade, never could never have
imagined the outcome of her deception: 4,000 abortions a day since 1973. Norma
never had an abortion, but her Supreme Court case brought abortion on demand to
America. Darkness and disillusionment plagued her life. The power of prayer plus
3
the loving actions of others drove Norma from working in an abortion centre into the
arms of Jesus. Joyce Zounis’ choice of abortion, not once but seven times, nearly cost
her life. Tormented by disbelief, she lived a nightmare of anger, guilt, and
disconnection. “I Was Wrong” captures the changed hearts of two women restored by
the redemptive forgiveness of Jesus Christ and brings a deeper understanding of how
abortion strikes at the heart and soul of America.

Beyond Regret: Entering into Healing and Wholeness after an Abortion - 35

oversimplification, flaws, and myths surrounding safeguards, pain management, and
suffering. Together they offer tangible solutions as to what needs to be done to
improve the quality of life for all concerned and make a strong case that vulnerable
people are directly threatened by euthanasia and assisted suicide. It’s time to let our
voices be heard because if laws are changed, we’ll be fighting for our lives.

vision to support at-risk youth. Among those benefitting is Chinel, a shy, grade 7
student whose high school mentor hopes to prepare him for adolescent pressures. Then

Finally, we meet the young cast of an anti-gang film directed by the high school

From Anger to Intimacy; How Forgiveness Can Transform Your Marriage – 120
minutes. Gary Smalley and Ted Cunningham
Anger begins as frustration, hurt or fear. When you don’t deal with these deeper
emotions, they intensify and fester into resentment and rage – and the affectionate
23
intimacy you long for in your relationship is driven away. Yet everyone experiences
anger at one time or another … so how can you cope when it surfaces and strengthen
the connection between you and your spouse? Popular relationship expert Dr. Gary
Smalley suggests that you have three options when anger rears its head: You can stuff
it, you can spew it or you can study it. With his pastor and good friend, Ted
Cunningham, Smalley peels back anger’s layers to expose the emotional core of fury
and bitterness and invites you to take a deeper look at the pain that lies at the heart of
anger. Through six teaching and Bible study sessions, they show you how sharing that
pain leads to deep intimacy and a marriage that will go the distance.

The Mystery and Meaning of Marriage
Episode 1 – Does Marriage Matter? – 29 minutes
Long before governments and societies ever discussed marriage, God put on the
human heart a longing for the unique lifelong commitment and total self-giving
love found in the Sacrament of Matrimony.
Episode 2 – Entering the Story of Marriage – 31 minutes
Marriage isn’t just one of the world’s great institutions, God actually created the
world for the union of husband and wife. From the beginning of creation to the
coming of Christ, God unveils his plan for married couples to share in his very
divine love and to be a most profound sign of his love to the world.
I-011
Episode 3 – Love Revealed – 32 minutes
God reveals what love is most perfectly on the Cross. Jesus Christ – the
bridegroom – lays down his life in sacrifice for his bride, the Church. And our
human marriages are meant to share in that sacrificial love of Christ for the Church
and reflect that love in the world.
Episode 4 – Total Gift of Self – 45 minutes
How do we really give ourselves totally to our spouse? Putting our beloved’s needs
25
before our own self-centered interests takes a lot of work and a lot of sacrifice. But
the total gift of self is at the heart of the daily married life, affecting everything
from how we communicate and how we respond when we are hurt, to how we
approach the expression of self-giving love in sexual intercourse.
I-012
Episode 5 – A Sacramental Bond – 30 minutes
Marriage brings something new into existence that didn’t exist before: a real bond
between the husband and wife. And flowing from that sacramental bond is a font
of grace to help us as couples face whatever challenges may come our way and to
love and serve each other far beyond what we could ever do on our own.
Episode 6 – Real Challenges, Real Love – 45 minutes
Marriage is absolutely beautiful. But it’s also messy. Conflict, difficulties
communicating, unexpected turns in life, and wounds from the past are all a part of
every good marriage. Will these challenges be sources of division in our
relationship – or opportunities for our love to rise to whole new level?
I-013
Living Marriage
Episode 1 – Christ at the Center – 19 minutes
Putting Jesus at the center of our lives is crucial for maintaining a strong marriage.
The more we live in union with Christ, the more he helps us give the best of
ourselves to our spouse and draws us closer to him through the many challenges
and joys in our marriage relationship.
Episode 2 – A Deeper Unity – 18 minutes
Like a good wine, a good marriage takes much time and effort to develop. God is
already working in our relationships to form beautiful and lasting marriages, but he
also needs our individual commitment to each deepen our union with our spouse.
I-014
Episode 3 – Conflict and Communication – 24 minutes
Conflict is inevitable in any relationship, but it doesn’t have to be damaging or
hurtful. With the art of good communication in marriage, some tensions can be
avoided and even conflict situations themselves can become opportunities for
growth.
Episode 4 – Building a Thriving Marriage – 25 minutes
Strong marriages don’t happen by chance. We generally get out of our relationship
what we put into it. Becoming aware of our personal weaknesses, making it a
priority to overcome them, and seeking God’s help to do so can make all the
difference between a marriage that just survives and one that truly thrives.
26
I-015
Episode 5 – Protecting the Bond – 22 minutes
Marriage is a priceless gift. And one that is worth going out of our way to protect.
We must always be careful to not let other things in life – a career, a hobby, social
media, friendships with the opposite sex – take up our attention in a way that starts
to divide our union with our spouse.
Episode 6 – Sexuality and Authentic Love – 25 minutes
The physical union of sexual intimacy is meant to express a total gift of one’s self
spiritually, personally, and emotionally. Following God’s plan for sexuality helps
us say “yes” to authentic love – the love we are ultimately longing for.

Give Me A Drink: Jesus Meets a Samaritan Woman - 55 minutes
Jean Vanier. The fruitfulness of love calls us to reveal the inner beauty to all those we
meet and to help them fully realize themselves. That is what Jesus did when he met
the Samaritan woman. She experienced that Jesus loved and respected her; even more,

that the Holy Spirit lives in them and that He can become a living spring of faith, hope,
and love.
J-08
The Cry for Love - 59 minutes
Jean Vanier. To help those who suffer, the poor, the outcasts, the handicapped, we

the anguish they live with. Those who suffer call out to us: they await that we enter
into a relationship with them.
J-09
My Point of Pain - 54 minutes
Jean Vanier. We must look at ourselves with complete truth and not hide the point of
our suffering where we become vulnerable. When we are conscious of our poverty
and our frailties, we can experience God’s mercy. Jesus’ look on us reveals our true
beauty to ourselves.
J-010
To Become an Artisan of Peace in a World of Conflict - 58 minutes

J-012
Surviving Life Transitions - 26 minutes
In this program, Clayton Barbeau talks about the many experiences of change that
make up daily living. Your ways of thinking, feeling and being are constantly
changing; and there are such challenges as building a new relationship, integrating a
new baby into the family, or beginning a new job. Such changes can be very
threatening because of fear of the unknown and a kind of “limbo” experience to be
lived through as a bridge to the new. Mr. Barbeau guides you through the process of
change and offers stories and strategies for healthy personal growth.
J-013
Surviving Loneliness - 24 minutes
In this program, Clayton Barbeau examines loneliness as part of everyone’s life,
especially in today’s competitive society. Mr. Barbeau relates the stories of three
different “lonely” people and the steps they took to help themselves. Pointing out that
loneliness often results from our looking to someone else to make us whole, he offers
many concrete strategies to counteract loneliness.
J-014
Surviving Grief - 24 minutes
In this program, Barbeau helps the viewer to understand the grieving process and
work toward acceptance of the loss of a loved one. Mr. Barbeau’s own experience of
grief at the untimely death of his wife gives a unique validity and conviction to his
advice. He points out that it is important not to deny one’s loss and to give oneself
permission to “feel”; be it tears, loneliness, or anger. Above all, Barbeau suggests,
don’t prolong and nurture grief, but take one day at a time and make an effort to begin
building a future.
J-015
Surviving Anger - 32 minutes
In this program, Clayton Barbeau talks about the different causes of anger and the
various guises that anger often takes. He also points out that we face anger from both
ourselves and others, and that any number of experiences can trigger it. With the help
of anecdotes based in personal experience, Mr. Barbeau shows how important it is to
understand the source and destructiveness of one’s anger and to face up to it. He
proposes strategies for analysing and dealing with one’s own anger, and with the
anger of others.

J-016
Surviving Failure and Rejection - 34 minutes
In this program, Clayton Barbeau explains how important it is for every person to
value themselves, because surviving rejection or failure has a lot to do with selfacceptance. It also means realizing that it is human, and sometimes even a good thing,
to fail or to experience hurt. Using some well-chosen anecdotes, Mr. Barbeau reveals
how paralysing the fear of failure can be, and he points out that all real growth in life –
and in intimacy and love - involves risk, even in the face of rejection or failure.
J-017
Surviving Difficult People - 40 minutes
In this program, Clayton Barbeau gives special attention to the problem individuals
who can make day-to-day living difficult at work or home. Mr. Barbeau suggests
ways to approach people who tend to bully or criticize constantly, or those who
demand inordinate attention or wish to be always in control. And he profiles those
who can’t make a decision or simply won’t communicate. Mr. Barbeau states that it is
very important to realize that one’s response to a difficult person is more important
than that person’s behaviour
J-018
Surviving Broken Relationships - 21 minutes
In this program, Clayton Barbeau talks about the anger and pain that follow a broken
relationship. Mr. Barbeau assures you that the feelings you experience at this time are
natural. He helps you to understand and work with them. You are encouraged to be
gentle with yourself and not to hide from those who care about you. Above all, don’t
rush into a new relationship too soon. Broken hearts do mend, Mr. Barbeau assures
you; and when they do, they are often more loving and compassionate than those that
have not suffered.

The Book of Kells: The Work of Angels? – 60 minutes
The great gospel of Colum Cille was described in 1006 as the chief treasure of the
western world. Nearly a thousand and years later it still remains one of the greatest
achievements of Western art. For centuries the few who were privileged to see the
intricate beauty of its designs called it “the work of angels.” This fascinating program
conveys for the first time on screen, the greatest glory of Irish art through imaginative
use of high definition video. The Book of Kells’ illuminated decoration and
calligraphy adorning the Four Gospels have earned it the reputations as the most
beautiful book in the world. Native Celtic artists in the 700s and 800s A.D. took the
great gospel symbols of the Eastern Church – the four cherubim, lion, calf, eagle and
man – and in the cooler air of Europe’s northwest transformed them.. The Celtic
shapes and symbols used by the artists have been adopted into many aspects of today’s
art. The Book of Kells tells the story of this magnificent masterpiece. Created on the
windy Hebridean island of Iona thirteen centuries ago, it now rests in the Trinity
College library in Dublin. The manuscript has mystified and motivated many writers,
and its intricate Celtic knotwork continues to influence artists and craftsmen today.

Why Catholics Do What They Do In Church - 28 minutes, study guide included
Symbols and signs are essential to the Roman Catholic Liturgy and Ritual. Candles;
what do they represent? How and when are they used and how do they affect us?
Water; it can be a symbol of death as well as life and it is used in some of the
Church’s most important rituals. Gestures; how standing, kneeling, hand gestures and
even sitting down have specific purposes in the mass. Crosses; in addition to the
47
symbol of Christianity which hangs in every church, we cross ourselves and make
“the sign of the cross” at important moments in our rituals. In four, five to seven
minute segments Candles, Water, Gestures, and Crosses are covered in a way that will
help young people, catechumens and even life-long Catholics better understand the
important reasons for these traditions and how they help us grow in faith.

Connecting with God: Ways to Pray - 25 minutes, study guide included
Have you ever thought of God as you gaze out at the ocean, as you listen to your

focusing on three ways that we can connect with God - through our bodies, through
music, and through nature. Sr. Dorothy Ederer, O.P. shows us we can use gestures to
pray when we have no words. Fr. Brendan Moss, O.S.B. prays through listening to
music and helps us to see how its rhythm and sound connect us to life and to God who
is its author. Kathleen Chesto invites us to pray surrounded by the power and beauty
of nature. Creative, informative, and entertaining, Connecting with God is tailor-made

Foundations of Christianity – 125 minutes on 2 disks
Spirituality and theology are rich, varied and multidimensional. But what holds it all
together? For Christian, what is “foundational”? What is the core of our blessed path
to God? In this five-video series Father Michael Himes explores the foundational
building blocks of life in Christ.
Disk 1 – Mystery – 25 minutes
Himes draws on poetry, Alice in Wonderland and Shakespeare to show that the only
way we can speak of the deepest mystery – God – is in metaphor. Caught between our
inability to speak and our need to say something Himes shows us how to say that
something while still being led deeper into the mystery of God.
Disk 1 – Conversion – 25 minutes
Conversion is a lifelong process. It occurs through the nurturing of others, and
through imitating others and ultimately imitating Christ. Himes speaks of the external
and internal word of God. Others speak the external word to us and only the Holy
Spirit speaks the internal word. Only when the two “line up” is another step taken in
conversion.
Disk 2 – Faith – 25 minutes
Faith is trusting in God who possesses us, as opposed to a God we possess. This
approach to faith changes everything because we become a “pilgrim people” - a people
led further and further into life and truth.
Disk 2 – Hope – 25 minutes
Himes sees hope as “Christian realism.” It is a middle way between utopianism (a
belief that we can do it all) and despair (the belief that we can do nothing). Himes
draws on Dante, T.S. Eliot, Friedrich Schleiermacher and Goethe to illustrate his
points. We are moved to embrace a broken world loved by God – as Jesus did.
51
Disk 2 – Love – 25 minutes
Love is a choice – a choice for the good of the other. This choice demands wisdom
and courage. Himes draws on the insights of Jesus, St. Paul, Thomas Aquinas and
Martin Buber to show that love is the source and summit of all the virtues.
K-033
Priest, Prophet, King – 6 episodes on 2 discs – 162 minutes
The better we understand Jesus, the better we understand ourselves. But who was
Jesus, this itinerant preacher whom many called the Messiah? In Priest, Prophet,
King, you’ll discover Jesus as the Anointed One – the ultimate priest, prophet, and
king foreshadowed throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Using biblical insights and
engaging stories, Father Robert Barron affirms that we see Jesus most clearly through
the lens of the Old Testament. Through this presentation you will better understand
Jesus, become more familiar with Scripture, and realize your own priestly, prophetic,
and kingly mission. The program features an accompanying study guide by Catholic
writer and apologist Carl Olson, written under Fr. Barron’s direction. Audio in
English and Spanish with English and Spanish subtitles.
K-034
The Mystery of God: Who God Is and Why He Matters – 6 episodes on 2 discs –
141 minutes
Atheism is on the rise. Skeptical thinkers vigorously attack belief in God as irrational
or, even worse, dangerous. The so-called New Atheism has attracted millions of
young people thanks to bestselling books such as The God Delusion and God Is Not
Great. How should Christians respond? How can we turn the tide of secularism and
draw people back to God? In The Mystery of God, Fr. Robert Barron reaches into our
rich intellectual tradition to teach us how to respond. Using the insights of St.
Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Pope Benedict XVI, he uncovers a clear yet
sophisticated understanding of what we mean by “God.” In English and Spanish with
English and Spanish subtitles. Leader's guide and study program workbook available

The Celebration of Eucharist for the Twenty-First Century – 60 minutes
To the casual observer, our celebration of the Eucharist might appear to be simply a
random collection of prayers and pious actions. But the Mass has a definite shape and
flow. It consists of two major parts: the liturgy of the Word and the liturgy of the
Eucharist. These are so closely interconnected that they form but one single act of
worship. As the General Instruction of the Roman Missal makes clear: In the Mass is
spread the table both of God’s word and of the Body of Christ, and from it the faithful
are instructed and refreshed. In addition to these two major parts, there are also
introductory rites and concluding rites to ease our transition from home to the
celebration and from the celebration back into the world. This resource has been
prepared by the National Liturgy Office in collaboration with Salt and Light
Television to assist in the ongoing process of catechesis on the nature and meaning of
the Eucharistic celebration, its inherent unity and its shape and flow.

with visits in the towns, homes, and places of prayer of some of the saints of the

St. Patrick: Apostle of Ireland – 46 minutes
Who was St. Patrick? The man that came to be the patron saint of Ireland was an
ordinary man who accomplished the extraordinary by placing his faith in God.
Originally sent to Ireland in the 5th century as a bishop to lead Irish Christians, Patrick
chose instead to bring Christianity to those Irish not yet converted, and did so without
bloodshed. As a result of his life and work, there emerged a uniquely Celtic form of
Christianity, a religion firmly Christian in belief yet not far removed from the
traditions, practice and law of the Irish. Filmed entirely in Ireland, the film follows the
story of both the man and the saint, unraveling myth and history, with commentary
from Father Frank Fahey of Ballintubber Abbey and Michael Slaven, author of
The Book of Tara.

single-handed battle to save the children of the streets inspired the formation of the
Salesians, which is now a worldwide religious order that carries on his work with
youth everywhere. This is a made for television feature film. With English and

The Catholic Women’s League: For God and Canada – 18 minutes
You have probably seen these women in action in almost every parish, but it is time to
discover who they really are. The women of The Catholic Women’s League of
Canada are women who have put their God-given talents at the service of the Catholic
Church and their country. Since 1920, this organization of close to 100,000 women
77
have been praying together, doing charitable works, marching in defense of life, and
fighting for issues of concern for all Canadians. Above all, they have been holding
each other’s hand in the journey of life and faith. As one of them put it, “We laugh
because laughter is indeed God’s gift. We cry because we feel another’s pain. We use
our talents because we must. We make a difference because we can.”
P-033
Go and Teach – 55 minutes
One of the most significant fruits of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) was a
revived sense of apostolic fraternity and collegiality among the world’s Bishops.
When at the end of the Council many Bishops expressed their strong desire to build on
the experience, Pope Paul VI established the permanent Synod of Bishops. In October
2012, fifty years after the opening of Vatican II, the 13th Ordinary Synod of Bishops
was held under Pope Benedict XVI to discuss the New Evangelization for the
Transmission of the Christian Faith. For the first time in history two journalists were
allowed inside the Synod to document the experience. Go and Teach is a documentary
that tells the story of the Catholic Church’s struggle to find its identity and live out its
mission in the complex global reality of the 21st century.

The Early Christians: The Incredible Odyssey of Early Christianity – 9 sessions
on 2 DVDs
The Empire persecuted the Christians and was eventually converted. The Barbarians
sacked Rome, but were converted too. How did the religion of Love manage to
survive against paganism and barbarianism? How did the first Christians live? Who
were their most terrible enemies: idols, lions, Jews…or heretics? How did they defend
their faith? How did they propagate it? The blood of the martyrs was the seed for new
Christians. But after the persecutions of the Romans and the barbarian invasions came
another grave danger for the new religion: heresies…they would not be lethal. On the
contrary, they provided the opportunity to define the essential truths of Christian faith,
consolidating the roots of a millennial Church. This high quality, in-depth film series
produced in Europe explores this amazing story of the witness of the early Christians
and the spread of Christianity.
P-035
The Francis Effect – 72 minutes
One month after Pope Benedict XVI’s resignation, the Cardinals elected the serene

with Fatima experts and relatives of eyewitnesses, combined with stunning visuals to
tell the entire story of the apparitions of Our Lady at Fatima. This docu-drama gives
all of the crucial details about the appearances and messages of Our Lady in Fatima
in 1917, a message of prayer, penance and conversion that is desperately needed in
our modern world. From the initial apparitions of the Angel who prepared the
children for Our Lady’s coming, to the Miracle of the Sun, including moving film
footage from The 13th Day, this illuminating and inspiring film will convince all
those who see it to take heed of the critical messages of Our Lady of Fatima. Special
features include Fatima: Message of Hope for Today and bonus footage with Fatima
experts. In English with Spanish and English subtitles
P-037
The Gardener of God – 110 minutes – major motion picture
This film tells the inspiring story of Gregor Mendel (1822-1844), who is
considered the father of modern genetics, a science that changed the world. He was
a Catholic priest and Augustinian monk who lived in the 9th century in the AustroHungarian Empire. The movie reveals how he combined his vocation as a priest
and training as a scientist to impact the world by courageously following his
passion for the truth. From the beginning he realized that his great scientific
discovery could be used in a wrong way, and he sought the help of a benefactor
and good friend, the princess Hanna von Limburg, who supported him in his work
and vocation, and helped spread the knowledge of his discovery around the world.
Mendel was a man of contemplation and of action, a dedicated priest and visionary
scientist who is an important witness for contemporary society on how faith and
science are not in conflict with each other.
P-038
The Thirteenth Day – 85 minutes
In a world torn apart by persecution, war, and oppression, three children were
chosen to offer a message of hope. Based on the memoirs of Sister Lucia Santos
and independent eye-witness accounts, The 13th Day dramatizes the incredible true
story of three shepherd children form the village of Fatima in Portugal who
experienced six apparitions with a “Lady for Heaven” between May and October
1917, which culminated in the final prophesied miracle. The lady, who later
revealed herself to be the Blessed Virgin Mary, gave a secret to the children told
in three parts, from a harrowing vision of hell to prophetic warnings of future
events including the advent and timing of the Second World War, the spread of
communism, and the attempted assassination of the pope. Stylistically beautiful
and technically innovative, the film uses state-of-the-art digital effects to create
stunning images of the visions and the final miracle that have never before been
fully realized on screen. This film was shot on location in Portugal and in England.

Apostoli, “Fatima: Message of Hope for Today”. In English with Spanish, English,

P-039
Pope John Paul I: the Smile of God – 120 minutes
An outstanding feature film on the beloved John Paul I, (baptismal name Albino
Luciani) whose brief papacy lasted only 33 days but beautifully bridged the epic
papacies of Paul VI and Pope John Paul II. Pope John Paul I is remembered for his
infectious smile, his warm personality and his humble pastoral style. This movie
captures not only the significance of his short papacy, but also tells the story of his
whole life leading up to his papacy, a life marked by deep faith and heroic charity.
It shows how his life of great dedication to the church and the needs of all his flock
prepared him well for his election to the papacy. It reveals that he was a protégé of
Pope John XXIII, who saw greatness and genuine holiness in him, and made
Luciani an Archbishop and the Patriarch of Venice. He was a man of peasant
origins, a devoted parish priest with a great love for orphans, the poor and outcasts,
a priest who had a reluctant rise to become a prince of the Church. The film also
tells the little known but dramatically true story of how Sister Lucy of Fatima had a
prophetic insight that he would become Pope and that his papacy would be very
short, which she revealed to him in a personal meeting in 1977 when he was a
Cardinal. Major motion picture In Italian with English and Spanish subtitles

extraordinary Catholic priests. Fr. McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, a
mutual benefit society that today remains the world’s largest Catholic lay organization
with 1.8 million members in 13 nations. This film offers a rare glimpse into the life of
an extraordinary priest and visionary leader. From defending the persecuted Church to
protecting widows and orphans Father Michael McGivney celebrates the triumphs and
tribulations of a priest who may very well be America’s first canonized parish priest.

The Passion of Christ: A Meditation with Ron Rolheiser - 2 segments, 50
minutes/segment, discussion guide included.
Through Scripture and examples from life, Fr. Rolheiser gives new understanding and
encouragement in how we can give our lives to the world and to also give our death to
the world. When we think of passion we think of Christ’s physical suffering and death
but in the Agony in the Garden, the Gospels do not emphasize Jesus’ physical
sufferings. The Gospel want us to understand Jesus the lover, who undergoes moral
and emotional sufferings without resentment or bitterness. Fr. Rolheiser explains that
God’s strength comes when we are exhausted and open to being transformed. A
profound and moving reflection in two parts with a live audience.

Q-010
The Cross of Christ - 100 minutes, discussion guide included
Host Ron Rolheiser, OMI. The Cross has become the ultimate symbol of love in the
world. It is central to Christianity in that we are to forgive our enemies. As such, it is
the single most revolutionary moral event that has happened on this planet. And, like
all deep things in life, the Cross is largely a mystery. The Cross reveals God’s
unconditional love and vulnerability; as a teaching and an invitation to discipleship;
God suffers with us. The Cross calls us beyond ourselves, our own agenda, and our
own life without resentment.
Q-011
Walking the Bible: A Journey by Land through the Five Books of Moses - 168
minutes, 2 disks.
Host Bruce Feiler. Both a heart-racing adventure and an uplifting quest, Walking the
Bible presents one man’s epic journey - by foot, jeep, rowboat, and camel - through
the greatest stories ever told. The stories in the first five books of the Bible, also
known as the Torah, come alive as Feiler searches across three continents for the
82
stories and heroes shared by Christians and Jews. You’ll visit the slopes of Mount
Ararat, where Noah’s ark landed, trek to the desert outpost where Abraham first heard
the words of God, and scale the summit where Moses received the Ten
Commandments. Dramatic scripture readings interspersed throughout bring you
closer to these Biblical settings.
Q-012
Inside the Vatican - 90 minutes
Narrated by Martin Sheen. National Geographic, with unprecedented access, provides
a rare glimpse inside the secret archives and private chapels of the Vatican. Privileged
accounts from Vatican officials, historians, and devoted individuals who work closely
with Pope John Paul II provide insight into the remarkable history of the holy city and
the unique traditions that have survived for nearly 2000 years.
Q-013
Within Your Gates - 46 minutes
In May 2009, Benedict XVI became the third pope to ever visit the Holy Land. His
encounter with the Fifth Gospel, as this land is often described, cast new light on the
shrines that commemorate the life of Jesus, as well as the rugged geography He
roamed two thousand years age. Salt + Light’s Kris Dmytrenko retraces the Pope’s
pilgrim path through Israel and the Palestine territories. Dmytrenko leads viewers from
Nazareth, home of the Holy Family; to the shores of the Galilee, where Jesus preached
and healed; and finally through the gates of Jerusalem, where love triumphed over
death. Biblical passages and the Pope’s homilies breathe life into the ancient sites.
Interviews include His Beatitude Fouad Twal, Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem; and Rabbi
Yona Metzger, Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi of Israel. Rare footage and a stirring
soundtrack capture the Holy Land as never before.
Q-014

psychotherapist, and permanent Deacon of the Catholic Church, Deacon Bob is
uniquely qualified to examine the mental, physical and spiritual suffering of Our Lord
in His Passion from the brutality suffered at His trials to His last moments on the
Cross.

Q-015
The Immaculate Conception: Exploring the Mystery - 16 minutes.
December 8, 2004 was the 150th Anniversary of the Papal Bull, Ineffabilis Deus. This
teaching raised the belief in the Immaculate Conception to the status of a formal
doctrine, to be believed by all the faithful. Often confused with the faith belief in the
Virgin Birth, the Immaculate Conception is not about Jesus but about Mary being
conceived in the womb of her mother, St. Anne. The dogma of the Immaculate
Conception explains how Mary, born of human parents like us, did not inherit Original
Sin. Here is an exploration of the doctrine and how God broke through history to
complete the first work of goodness by a mystery yet more wondrously sublime, the
Immaculate Conception. This DVD includes both the English-language and the
Spanish-language versions of the program.
Q-016
Why I Am Catholic: When I Could Be Anything Else - 60 minutes – audio CD

and its claim to contain the fullness of the deposit of faith given by Christ.

Dark Night and Doubts In Our Lives; A Failure of Faith – Or Imagination?
-165 minutes
Doubt and darkness do not necessarily mean that we are struggling with faith. They
can just as easily mean that we are struggling inside our imagination and that God is
purifying us. What is faith and why does it sometimes feel like its opposite? Join Fr.
Rolheiser on this journey out of the darkness so many of us have experienced recently,
back into the light. The DVD consists of three sessions of approximately 55 minutes
each.
Q-026
Five Hundred Years of Saint Peter’s – 60 minutes
On April 18, 1506, under the supervision of the chief architect Donato Bramante, the
foundation stone was laid for a new St. Peter's Cathedral. In a sequence of bitter
power struggles, shattering defeats and glorious triumphs Bramante, Sangallo,
Raphael, Michelangelo, Maderno and Bernini created this world-famous center of the
Roman Catholic church. The Reformation and the Counter-Reformation might well
have taken a quite different course without this building. Like a huge precious shell
the dome envelops the humble tomb, buried within its depths, of the Apostle Peter,
designated by Jesus to bear responsibility for the Christian faith.

Q-027
Catholicism – 7 compact discs/ approximately 9 hours
Father Barron's comprehensive work goes straight to the core of the Catholic faith. He
first examines the foundations of Christ's incarnation, life and ministry, and then
works through the essentials of the Catholic tradition: from sacraments, worship and
prayer, to Mary and the saints, and on to salvation, heaven and hell. Throughout this
epic journey, Father Barron uses art, literature, personal stories, Scripture, theology,
philosophy and history to present a complete picture of the Church to the world.
Q-028
Generative Discipleship The Deeper Invitation of Jesus – 103 minutes (approx.)
discussion guide included Host Father Ron Rolheiser
One size doesn’t fit everyone! When we think we’ve reached the deepest level of
discipleship, Jesus invites us to more. What are these invitations from Jesus to give
our lives more deeply; and how can we recognize them? Why does he invite us to
give our death as a blessing to others? (And how can death ever be a blessing to
anybody?) Discover what Generative Discipleship means in a Biblical perspective and
how it will bring a deeper meaning to your life. This program is presented in two parts
and is perfect for groups or individual reflection.
Q-029
“On Blessings” – 53 minutes discussion guide available
Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI talks about blessings in a whole new way: the focus is not
how to get them, or count them, but how to give them. Specifically, he says that the
young “Hunger for the father’s blessing,” and that older people must, “feed the
young”. Fr. Rolhesier tells us why we should offer blessings and support to those
younger than ourselves, how to do it, and about the rewards for those giving and
receiving blessings. As Fr. Rolheiser says, “When we act like God, we get to feel like
God”. Perfect for groups or individual reflection.
Q-030
Living in the Image and Likeness of God – 172 minutes discussion guide available
Rev. Ron Rolheiser takes you on a three-part journey through the scriptures, Gospels
and the writings of the theologians and scholars to describe the “Struggles inherent in
our Blessedness.” Fr. Rolheiser shows us our naïveté regarding the power of this
Blessedness, how it can also be a source of perpetual disquiet and restlessness, and
finally, how to live with the “Divine Fire” inside of us. As always, Fr. Rolheiser’s
charm, humor and scholarship make this presentation a memorable one for all those
seeking a greater depth and understanding of their faith.
Q-031
The Incarnation: Keeping God in the Flesh – 107 minutes
God didn’t come to earth in the flesh for just 33 years. Christ didn’t leave us when he
ascended into heaven. We, the Christian community, continue the incarnation. We are
the Body of Christ and we continue to give physical flesh to God. This has
astonishing implications for how we pray, seek healing, look for guidance, understand
religious experience, and for how we “bind and loose” our loved ones. As only he can,
Fr. Rolheiser brings the incarnation into focus and brings clarity to its meaning for
you.
86
Q-032
The Lamb’s Supper – 59 minutes
Noted theologian and Catholic Scripture scholar Dr. Scott Hahn explains Christ’s
Paschal Sacrifice and its relation to the cross as the fulfillment of the traditional fourth
cup used in the celebration of the Jewish Passover meal. He shows that there is a
profound parallel to the Last Supper and Christ’s death on Calvary. Through his
insights and many important biblical connections, Mass will come alive for you as
never before!
Q-033
Rebuilding the Christian Civilization – 62 minutes – audio CD
Is it too late to reverse our “culture of death”? Pope John Paul II didn’t think so. That
is why he promoted the New Evangelization – a bold new outlook whose ultimate goal
was to build a “civilization of love”. Dr. Scott Hahn, lay theologian, presents the
biblical blueprint for the Holy Father’s mission, along with practical steps we can use
to implement this vision in our own homes.
Q-034

An Advent and Christmas Journey - 125 minutes in 5 segments on 2 disks
Free leader’s guide available at Catalog.AmericanCatholic.org/guide
Without relying on just one liturgical cycle, Father Michael Himes goes in-depth into
the spirituality and theology of Advent and Christmas. This series can be used in
adult faith formation, small group discussions and sermon preparation for any year.
Advent I: Hope in the Darkness – 21 minutes
Father Himes gives us profound insights to ponder in a “light” time of year. We live
with the anxiety that we will someday come to an end. We look for God, the timeless
one, to speak to us. Nothing on this earth ultimately satisfies us; we are restless. We
wait, and hope, for God. As Christians, we are always in Advent.
Advent II: The Second Coming is NOW – 26 minutes
Father Himes talks about the Second Coming of Christ – a major theme in Advent and
a popular topic in American culture. He tells us that the Kingdom of God is not
92
predictable and constantly comes upon us in ordinary ways. Father Himes shows us
that the Kingdom of God is among us now, reconciling all people with the living God.
Advent III: Threatened by Grace – 24 minutes
Father Himes explores the Last Judgment by looking at what the “world” means in
Scripture. Sometimes the world is seen as good, but in other passages, it is the enemy
of God. He invites us to live in this tension and to see the world in transition. The
Last Judgment means the transformation of the world, not its annihilation.
Advent IV: Prophets: John, Mary, Joseph – 29 minutes
Prophets live in expectation of something new: The Savior will be born which will
change everything. With humor and wisdom, Father Himes looks at Old Testament
prophets like Isaiah and three New Testament Advent figures – John the Baptist, Mary
and Joseph – and shows how they inspire and challenge us today.
Christmas: The Eternal Giving of God – 25 minutes
Father Himes looks at early Church controversies concerning Christ’s divinity and
humanity. He connects Christmas and Easter: God gives life where life could not
possibly exist – a virgin womb and an empty tomb. He asks us to reinterpret the
secularization of Christmas and explores what Christmas reveals about the Trinity.
Q-064

Beatitudes, Our Blessings – 42 minutes with study guide

that each of us is a blessing, called to live out our own particular gift in a way that
enables us to be a blessing to the rest of the community. Beatitudes, Our Blessings
invites us to look at the beatitudes in just this way. Suitable for RCIA, high schools,

been told is off-limits. Unable to stop, she loses control of the board and narrowly

The Stray: A Parable of Belonging - 14 minutes

his father looks on in love. Suitable for Junior High-Adult.

Christina develops the “sign” theme by sharing with children some of the outward
signs used in the sacraments like water, chrism, rings, and bread and wine. Her
forgetful little “helper” Alphonse adds a touch of humor to this beautiful message.

The Vision of the Gospels – 120 minutes – 4 episodes on 2 DVDs
Leader’s guide available at Catalog.AmericanCatholic.org/guide
These video presentations by Father Michael Himes focus on how the ancient Christian
communities that created the Gospels speak to the demands of discipleship today.
Disc One:
The Gospel of Matthew – 30 minutes
Father Himes calls the Gospel of Matthew “the Christian book of wisdom” and the
Beatitudes “the new commandments.” But do we understand what they really mean?
Father Himes sees them as experiments in living. This Gospel also tells us what it
means to be Church – learning about being a community that excludes no one.
The Gospel of Mark – 29 minutes
In the starkest of the Gospels, Jesus is misunderstood by virtually everyone and is
engaged in the struggle between God and demonic power at work in the world.
Mark makes it clear that following Jesus may mean standing alone. Father Himes
examines the central questions that occur again and again in the Gospel: “What do you
want of us?” “Who do you say that I am?” and “What do you want me to do for your?”
112
Disc Two:
The Gospel of Luke – 28 minutes
Father Himes presents a powerful case that the main theme of this Gospel is “strong
compassion” – a theme which flows through the parables, miracles and events of
Jesus’ life. In Jesus, God’s Spirit is let loose in the world, and its first effects are the
breaking down of barriers. This Gospel tells the reader that God is at work in
unexpected places and so calls for a revolution in which the poor are raised up and the
rich sent empty away.
The Gospel of John – 33 minutes
John’s Gospel is about nothing less than eternity and our place in it. Father Himes
appreciates the poetry of John and, with the skills of a great teacher, helps viewers to
appreciate the beauty of the words and the profound depth of meaning which this
Gospel has for our lives today.

minutes/segment, leaders guide available
Who were the prophets, what was their message, and what do they have to do with us?
If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is his Bride, then the
prophets can be seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable
and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our covenant relationship with God.
They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and announce the blessings
of faithfulness. Their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer
to our heavenly Bridegroom. This program will help you discover who the prophets
were, what their message was, and why they are important to us; see how God is
constantly calling you to a deeper relationship with him and discover the areas in your
life that prevent you from drawing closer to God..

Children of the Batey – 29 minutes
Sugar is more than just a sweetener for the children in the bateyes of the Dominican
Republic. For these children of sugar cane cutters, sugar is the reason they can
survive. But it is also sugar that keeps them in their impoverished condition. In the
batey where the sugar cane cutters and their families live, the children run around in
the midst of tiny shacks and garbage heaps, exposed to malaria, tuberculosis, and
HIV/AIDS. Along with native Dominicans, Haitian migrants and their children
make up most of the batey’s population. Their children have difficulties obtaining
proper education, health care and other basic human rights because by law, they are
not considered citizens of the Dominican Republic. St. Peter’s Parish in
Woodbridge, Ontario, responded to the needs of these children by organizing a weeklong summer camp in the bateyes. A group of 37 people brought books, clothes and
other donated goods. They also played games and other activities with the children.
The Canadians accepted that they could not change the reality of the Dominican
Republic, but they could impact one life. And a beautiful exchange happened! They
become the hands and feet of Christ for the children, and in the process allowed the
faith and joy of the children to touch their hearts! One of the Canadians, a six yearold boy named Christian, went right to the heart of everybody’s experience in
exclaiming: “Blessed are the poor, and blessed are you who help the poor.”

The Vision of Vatican II for Today – 2 disks with 5 – 25 minute sessions
Vatican Council II (1962-1965) created a new vision of the Catholic Church for the
Third Millennium. The Council was a new Pentecost that will reshape the Church for
147
centuries to come. In this five-part video series, Father Michael Himes looks at the
theological background of the Council, some of the revolutionary teachings of the
Council itself and how the wisdom and insights of the Council guide us today. Free
leader’s guide available at Catalog.AmericanCatholic.org/guide
Disc One
The Roots of Vatican II – 25 minutes
One hundred years before Vatican II, John Henry Cardinal Newman, often called the
“Father” of the Second Vatican Council, was teaching the ideas that would come to
fruition at the Council. Himes examines how the whole Church is challenged to live
out the roles of priest, prophet and king in our era.
The People Are the Church – 25 minutes
Father Himes looks at the sensus fidelium (“sense of the faithful”) and how truths are
uncovered and taught. In this process the role of the laity is indispensable.
The Church Human and Divine – 25 minutes
The Church is both a divine and human institution, but we have often stressed divinity
at expense to humanity. Himes says that a divine and human Church has much to
learn from human experience and such disciplines as sociology, the sciences and
political theory.
Disc Two
The Church Before and After Vatican II – 25 minutes
Before the Council the Church had two missions – that of sanctification performed by
the clergy and a social mission performed by laypeople. In the Dogmatic Constitution
on the Church (Lumen Gentium) both these missions are placed on equal ground. This
has had a profound impact on how we view the Church today.
The Sacrament of Everyday Life – 25 minutes
The Holy Spirit runs through the secular as well as the sacred spheres of life. Himes
gives us a vision of a Church where all the baptized participate as full and equal
partners.
Third Millennium: Vatican II – 12 DVDs
This series examines the changes in outlook that the Council fostered in the Church
and explores how the documents of Vatican II continue to renew the Church today.
Excellent for adult education, RCIA, small groups, catechist training, and returning

Third Millennium: Vatican II in History – 27 minutes, study guide included
The historical settings for the Second Vatican Council, its place among other Church
Councils, and its significance after thirty years are the main topics treated in this
video. Historical footage, as well as eyewitness accounts, add to the viewer’s
understanding and appreciation.
Z-08
Third Millennium: Liturgy – 27 minutes, study guide included
Fifty years before Vatican II scholars in Europe began to research earlier liturgical
forms initiating a movement that was to culminate in the sweeping reforms of Vatican
II. The DVD presents a rich variety of images which illustrate the liturgical renewal
in parish life in the United States since Vatican II.
Z-09
Third Millennium: Laity – 27 minutes, study guide included
The pre-Vatican II church in America went from the era of the immigrants, whose
active participation in the Church took the form of contributions building needed
churches, schools and hospitals, to a time when laity were largely on the periphery of
the Church activities. Vatican II restored the rightful place of the lay person in the life
of the Church. The primacy of baptism and the meaning of the church as the people
of God are the theological principles underlying this view of the increased
involvement of the laity in the Church after Vatican II.
Z-010
Third Millennium: Evangelization – 27 minutes, study guide included
The place of culture, the challenge of preaching the Gospel to middle-class, affluent
Americans and our responsibility to the poor of our nation and the world are
connected with the task of evangelization facing the Church in the Third Millennium.
Emphasis by the church on its counter-cultural dimension, on issues of peace and
justice, remains a challenge for many Catholics.
Z-011
Third Millennium: Ecumenism- 27 minutes, study guide included
The ecumenical movement has been called the miracle of the twentieth century.
Ecumenism refers to the promotion of unity among the Christian churches. In its
broader sense ecumenism extends also to non-Christian religions. The ecumenical
movement was first started in the early 1900’s in Asia and Africa by Protestant
missionaries who began to realize that the greatest obstacle to preaching the gospel
was the scandal of division among Christian churches. The starting point for
ecumenism in the Catholic Church centered on the question - What is the Church?
Half a century of study and experience by European theologians began to blossom at
Vatican II, when biblical, liturgical, lay and missionary renewal all pointed toward
ecumenism.
Z-012
Third Millennium: Mary – 27 minutes, study guide included
149
The program focuses on the devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the light of the
Second Vatican Council. Sr. Elizabeth Johnson, C.S.J., shares insights that will help
viewers look at Mary as the model of a mature woman who heard the Word of God,
understood it, freely accepted her destiny in life and carried out the will of God with
courage and love.
Z-013
Third Millennium: The Word – 27 minutes, study guide included
The Second Vatican Council placed the Holy Scriptures at the center of the life of the
Church. Catholics have come of age in their understanding and esteem of the Bible as
the “foundational” document of their faith tradition and community life. The richly
illustrated commentary offers many insights into the post-Vatican II era of biblical
renewal.
Z-014
Third Millennium: Religious Freedom– 27 minutes, study guide included
The idea that conscience was free and must be followed had always been Church
teaching, but the expression of conscience was understood differently. Thus people
have a right to express their faith as their conscience directs. The emphasis of
Vatican II on the role of conscience has had further implications touching on
pluralism and liberty within the Church itself. The issue of freedom of conscience,
particularly in moral matters, has raised many questions which continue to challenge
all members of the Church.
Z-015
Third Millennium: After the Council – 27 minutes, study guide included
Every Ecumenical Council has been followed by a period of change, if not conflict,
for the Church. Although the experience of transition after Vatican II Ecumenical
Council is dramatic than in some of the past post-conciliar periods, even today the
Church is encountering difficulties in achieving the renewal called for by Vatican II.
The Church of the future, however, is already emerging with a more truly world-wide
dimension than ever before, yet existing in every local church community as the full
embodiment of Christ’s saving presence.
Z-016
Third Millennium: Forty Years Later - 27 minutes, study guide included
This program looks at the developments that have brought new life to the Church
since the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council began its work of pastoral renewal.
The progress of the work of ecumenism, the emphasis on the People of God and the
role of the Laity in Church ministries, and what has been and needs to be
accomplished in areas of liturgical reform and church structure are studied.
Z-017
Third Millennium: The Next Pope - 27 minutes, study guide included
A number of theologians, historians and religion specialists examine the controversy
150
over such issues as lay ecclesial ministry, the role of women in the Church, the clergy
sexual abuse crisis, the centralization of authority in the Vatican, and the weakening of
national conference of bishops. How John Paul II’s successor deals with these
divisive issues is crucial for the Church’s growth in the 21st century.
Z-018
Third Millennium: Inside the Council - 27 minutes, study guide included
As an American Paulist priest on the staff of the Secretariat for Christian Unity, Fr.
Tom Stransky witnessed the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council from its beginnings
in 1960, its two years of preparation and the four sessions that followed (1962-65). Fr.
Stransky recalls his experiences and impressions of the Council, providing
contemporary viewers with a first-hand account of the Council and its intentions.
