A Biblical Walk Through the Mass
Everything we say and do in the Liturgy is steeped in biblical language. A Biblical Walk Through the Mass explores the extraordinary biblical roots of the Liturgy and
reveals what it all means and why it all matters. In this 5 session video-based study, Dr. Edward Sri explores the roots of the words and gestures we experience at Mass and explains their profound significance. This fascinating tour of the Mass will renew your faith and deepen your love for and devotion to the Holy Eucharist.

Power & Grace
Deepen Your Sacramental Life! Power and Grace has been designed to fit into your busy schedule. This 4-session program quickly introduces, or reminds, participants to the purpose and meaning of the seven Catholic sacraments in an engaging, easy-to-understand way. 

Hebrews: The New and Eternal Covenant
Presented via video by Dr. Andrew Swafford and Jeff Cavins, draws out the meaning of the book of Hebrews in a way that makes them easier to understand - so we can see, appreciate, and take hold of the riches God has given in the New Covenant. Most importantly, Hebrews will help us appreciate the astounding generosity of God as they see the wonders he has given us in the Church.

Building a Eucharistic Marriage
Marriage is a gift. But, it can also be a challenge, and it takes real effort to make it thrive. Get moving in the right direction, and grow more deeply together with your spouse, by participating in seven sessions of enrichment for married couples, led by Catholic therapist Greg Schutte, MSW, LISW-S. Greg has compiled his years of experience as a therapist into seven one-hour sessions designed to help couples to fall more deeply in love with each other, as well as with our Eucharistic Lord. 

The Case for Jesus
​​​​​Can we trust the Gospels? Do we really know who wrote them?  Do the Gospels communicate truth - or fabricated fables? Who is Jesus? Who did Jesus claim to be? Join Dr. Brant Pitre as he draws evidence from both early Christian and non-Christian writings attesting to the authenticity, authorship, and dating of the Gospels, and as he gives an in-depth look at the Gospel accounts of Jesus’s Crucifixion, Resurrection, and the proclamation of Christ’s divinity. Dr. Pitre’s powerful presentation will strengthen your faith so that you can not only stand firm and profess that Jesus truly is “the Christ, the Son of the living God,” but also confidently respond to any skeptics you encounter.

The Prophets: Messengers of God's Mercy
God sent prophets at critical times to call the people back to their covenant relationship with him. Prophets proclaimed the consequences of continued sin, called people to repentance, and declared God’s faithful love. They also spoke of the future to shed light on current events and to reveal God’s plans and purposes. In The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy, discover how God is constantly calling you to a deeper relationship with him, as well as the ways you are called to be the voice of God to others.

The Eucharist in Scripture
In The Eucharist in Scripture, discover God’s plan as it is expressed through the
Bible and the Mass. This six-lesson study, video presentations by Dr. Scott Hahn,
will unlock the meaning of covenant, sacrifice, and sacrament as understood in the
Bible, from Genesis through Revelation. Built around Dr. Hahn’s foundational talks & books: “The Lamb’s Supper,” “The Fourth Cup,” and “Consuming the Word,” The Eucharist in Scripture examines the biblical foundations of the Eucharist and explores the Church’s liturgy as the original context for the books of the Bible.

How to Pray Like Mary
Listen, and respond, like Mary at the Annunciation. Mary has been called the "mother of listening." She didn't just hear the Word; she pondered it in light of her own relationships and circumstances and then let it transform her. Sonja Corbitt is a best-selling author and one of the most dynamic and compelling new voices in the Church today. Starting with Mary's response at the Annunciation, Sonja will show you how to pray with Scripture under the guidance of the Blessed Mother.

Parousia  (Women Only)
Where do we find the Mass in the Bible? What is the relationship between the two? In ten beautifully produced lessons, Parousia: The Bible and the Mass answers these questions and more. In the latest video Bible study from the St. Paul Center, discover why the liturgy is a major theme that runs through the entire Bible, from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. We will not only look to the Law, the Prophets, and life and teachings of Jesus, we’ll also lean on the Doctors of the Church to enhance our understanding of the Mass. We’ll see how the New Testament is concealed in the Old, the Old is revealed in the New, and why both point directly to the Mass, the sign of the New Covenant.
