About The Catholicism Series

This documentary, shot over a period of 4 years and released for viewing in 2011, is one of  the best films on the Catholic faith ever to be produced.  It is faith affirming and succeeds at presenting clearly, the theology behind some of the doctrines and dogmas of the Catholic faith, as well as showing the universality and beauty of the Catholic Church. 

The Shrine looks forward to showing this epic documentary and hopes all its members will come and view it.

The Church calls for the full, active and conscious participation of all faithful at Mass. What does a full, active and conscious participation at Mass look like?  It starts with an understanding of the scriptural background of the Mass.  The Shrine invites all members to join the 'Biblical Walk Through The Mass' study and find out just how deeply scriptural the Mass really is.  Learning the biblical background behind what we say and do at Mass, will allow you to pray the Mass better and to hand-on these truths of our Catholic faith to your children.  This study is scheduled for Saturday,11th & 18th July 2015 (9:00 am to 5:00 pm).  Please visit the 'Mass' page on this website to register online.  Meanwhile, SAVE THE DATE!

Like St. Francis of Assisi, Padre Pio had the stigmata: the wounds of Christ visible on his body.  Throughout his life, he performed miracles and healings, caring for both the physically sick as well as those with spiritual illnesses.  This film follows Padre Pio's life from a young boy through his death.  Director, Carlo Carlei captures the humility, humor, and common sense of St. Pio. Winner of the Audience Award at the 2001 Los Angeles Film Awards.
