The CATHOLICISM Project: Journey Around the World and Deep into the Faith
“Simply the most vivid catechism ever created; the best-ever film about the Catholic faith.”-Brad Miner, The Catholic Thing blog

With creator and host Father Robert Barron, you will learn what Catholics believe and why, while being immersed in the art, architecture, literature, beliefs, and practices of the Catholic tradition. Word on Fire Catholic Ministries offers a vision of the Catholic Faith, which has never before been seen. This vision seeks to explore, through a global journey, the living culture of the Catholic Church. From the lands of the Bible, to the great shrines of Europe, to the shores and heartland of America, to the mysteries of Asia, to the rich landscapes of Latin America, to the beating heart of Africa - and beyond, witness the passion and glory of the faith that claims over a billion of the earth’s people as its own. This series is hosted by Father Robert Barron, but is far more than a travelogue. In the series, Fr. Barron challenges the viewers to understand and explore their own faith.

We will be showing this 10 episode series here at St. John beginning in January. For those who would like to dive right in, we will be showing Episodes 1-5 on Monday evenings (1/9, 1/23, 1/30, 2/6, and 2/13) at 7 pm in the Gathering Space Meeting Room. For the rest of us, we will show one or two episodes a month at different times. Episode 1 – “Amazed and Afraid – God becomes Man” will also be shown on Thursday Jan 12 at 9:15 AM and again on Sunday Jan 15 at 6:30 PM (come for mass, stay for pizza and the episode). After each showing there will be time for Q and A and discussion. Check out www.stjohnsp.org/catholicism to see clips previewing the series.
