CATHOLICISM Journey Around the World and Deep into the Faith

Looking for inspiration? Longing for a deeper understanding? Want to be awed by breathtaking images? Join us in the hall this summer where as a community we will delve further into our Catholic faith.

May this study lead us, as it did Mary, to ponder the Word of God.

With creator and host Father (now Bishop) 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.

Filmed in 50 locations throughout 15 countries, the CATHOLICISM DVD series is on-location and in the streets illustrating the splendor of the global Church. The Adult Faith Formation Program expands and reinforces the content of the DVDs with extensive commentary and questions for understanding and application.

Father (now Bishop) Barron is an acclaimed author, theologian and podcasting priest from Chicago, and one of the world’s great and most innovative teachers of the Catholic faith. He is the founder of Word on Fire Catholic Ministries.
