Being Catholic - Part 1 - The Creed

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.
Grades 5 and up - 4 segments approximately 10 minutes each.

Being Catholic - Part 5 - How Catholics Pray
Whatever form it takes, prayer is, at its heart, a communication with God; an acknowledgment that God is present to us, is speaking with us, and invites us to respond. All prayer is, in effect directed to God, even though we may be addressing Mary or one of the saints. We ask that the saints join us and intercede for us with our Father and creator, in Jesus' name, prompted by the Holy Spirit. In addition to these prayers of intercession, this program explains other types of prayers common in our faith: adoration, meditation, contemplation, petitions and praise in the forms of the Liturgy of the Hours, the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, Novenas and the most cherished of all, the Lord's Prayer. Young and old alike will find a new appreciation for the various ways of connecting with God.
