3 Celebrating Sacraments produced by P. Bowman (3 videos) This video series is produced for parents whose children are preparing to receive Reconciliation, Eucharist, or Confirmation. It provides theological and scriptural background to help parents reflect on their own understanding of these sacraments and on their role in their children s spiritual and religious development. 1) Celebrating Forgiveness (Reconciliation) (20 min.) 2) Celebrating Community (Eucharist) (15 min.) 3) Celebrating Faith (Confirmation) (15 min.) Healing Memories and Forgiveness (35 min.) With Fr. Padovani as narrator and lecturer, audiences will be stirred to take a deeper look at their own lives and to begin to face painful realities with courage and faith in God. This resource is great for retreats, parish renewals, and reconciliation services. The Best We Can Be (90 min.) With image and story, John Fontana helps young people explore the seven sacraments and sacramental images alive in their daily life. Through scripture stories, reflection and instruction, a sacramental spirituality for youth emerges. This video includes a helpful study guide outlining major themes, suggested activities, and questions for discussion. Penance: Come Back (11 min.) Names of Sin: Reconciliation Storyscape (20 min.) Annulments: A Process of Healing (60 min.) In this two-part video, Fr. Radkewycz and Dcn. Krochak discuss how annulment differs from divorce and elaborate the steps in the process of nullifying a marriage. Possible ground for annulment are outlined in the second part of the discussion. Questions from the audience are answered throughout. Fr. Radkewycz stresses in his presentation that those members of the Church who suffer a broken relationship need not feel alienated from the community, and should know that they are still able to participate fully in the life of the Church. Annulment is considered a step in the healing process of broken marital relationships. Forgive and Forget (15 min.) This video features a lively story about a kind king, a crooked crocodile, and a mischievous monkey. It will make children laugh, worry, and then think about a hard task: to forgive and forget. This video employs beautiful illustrations and superb story-telling. Handle With Care (15 min.) This video is an excellent incentive for examination of conscience prior to receiving the sacrament of penance. To inspire a better understanding of moral values, show this video to youngsters and watch the results!

For parents, the program is an excellent means for helping their children understand the need to make things right with God.

Perceptive questions of a teenage audience are answered warmly and vibrantly. As a prelude to and preparation for the liturgical moment of reconciliation, and as a means of formation of proper attitudes toward reconciliation, this program is both informative and upbeat. Healing Our Hurts: Putting Forgiveness into Practice produced by D. Donnelly Reconciliation is more than a sacrament. It should be a way of life. This series makes a powerful statement: forgiveness is the most valuable, healthy, and practical way to free ourselves and others from the crippling effects of resentment, anger, and hate. This video consists of three segments, each 30 min. long: 1) The Ways We Deal with Hurt

5 2) The Benefits of Forgiveness 3) The Stages of Forgiveness The Angel s First Communion Lesson produced by G. Costello Fiesta (30 min.)
