Bring People Back to Mass
Dec 16th
CatholicsComeHome.org, run by Tom Peterson, produces fantastic Catholic commercials. I have worked with Tom on projects in the past. He is a practicing Catholic who takes his faith seriously.
If you are interested in bringing more Catholics back to Mass, have seen a rapid decrease in mass participation, or want to engage in an evangelization effort in your area contact Tom.
While I was teaching in a Catholic school I would use these commercials as openers to talks; however, their best use would be across a diocese.
Inspired by the Holy Father’s call to a new evangelization, Catholics Come Home reaches out to inactive Catholics with inspiring TV commercials and an interactive Web site.
“Six months after the CatholicsComeHome.org media campaign ended, a comprehensive analysis was conducted, which revealed the average increase in Mass attendance (returned Catholics, new converts) was 12 percent, even though population growth in the Diocese of Phoenix was flat during that period. This equates to an increase of as many as 92,000 souls who came home!”

Director of Adult Evangelization, Diocese of Phoenix

Pro-life Videos for Youth and Young Adults
Dec 16th
There are a myriad of resources to educate youth and young adults on the pro-life topics; however, some are better than others. While at Franciscan University, I saw a number of young people take part in grass root movements using media to spread the Gospel of Life…ie. The Culture of Life that John Paul II proclaimed.
Our young people in the Catholic Church are accomstumed to audio/video education. Here are some professional examples from CatholicVote.org on proclaiming the Culture of Life.
I have put their work up before and will continue because I am so impressed with what they produce.
Open a youth night with these videos or begin a young adult meetings to help facilitate discussion.
Abortion is sadly the most common surgical procedure in America today. For CatholicVote.org and tens of millions of Americans, the right to life is the greatest civil rights issue of our day. Pope John Paul the Great put it succinctly when he said: “the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights — for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture — is false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and the condition of all other personal rights, is not defended with maximum determination.”
