Starring Richard Burton, Peter O’Toole, and Sir John Gielgud, this epic film is now in a restored transfer with special features including a commentary track from Peter O’Toole, interviews with cast and crew members, and much more.

St. John Bosco: Mission to Love - DVD
$24.95
IP:SJBML-M
Flavio Insinna gives a winning performance as John (Don) Bosco, the great priest and educator of youth from the tough streets of Turin, Italy. Beautifully filmed in Italy, this epic movie dramatizes the many challenges that Don Bosco had to overcome from this childhood through founding his religious order, the Salesians, for helping educate boys. Growing up without a father gave him compassion for the many orphans that he cared for, while he faced persecution from both secular society and the Church as he fought to build a place to house and educate the homeless, outcast youth of Turin. His deep faith, creative imagination and profound charity shine through in this wonderful film. Also stars Charles Dance (Gosford Park) and popular Italian singer and actress Lina Sastri.

This DVD contains the following language options: Italian with English or Spanish subtitles, or English dubbed track. Includes a 16 page collector’s booklet.

Catechism of the Catholic Church - DVD
$29.95
IP:CCC-M
The Most Reverend Christoph Schönborn, Bishop of Vienna, Austria, and the man picked by Pope John Paul II to compile and edit the Catechism of the Catholic Church, presents a six-part series on this monumental document and worldwide bestseller. No one is as intimately familiar with the Catechism or as eminently qualified to explain it.

Hosted by Dr. John Haas of the St. Charles Forum series, and filmed by EWTN in Vienna, this is perfect for study groups, adult education, high school or college religion class, or any individuals who want to really delve into this profound and beautiful synthesis of the Catholic Faith. This series covers the history of the Catechism, including the process used to compose it and the hopes and expectation of its writers. It reviews the four pillars of the Catechism: what the Catholic Church believes (Creed), celebrates (Sacraments), lives (Commandments) and how we pray (Our Father). Bishop Schönborn then discusses ways in which the Catechism can be used to deepen a person's faith.

Join this highly regarded Churchman and Dominican for an in-depth and inspiring study of one of the most important publications in the history of the Church.

Miracle of St. Therese - DVD
$19.95
IP:MST-M
This is the acclaimed dramatic feature film made in France in 1960 that tells the story of the life of Therese of Lisieux from childhood through her death as a Carmelite nun at age 24. Film critics have called it “an excellent, reverent biopic” on St. Therese that accurately portrays the saint’s story and her unique spirituality in a very appealing performance by French actress France Descaut.

The movie offers numerous glimpses into Therese’s “little way” of spiritual childhood, (her particular charism that helped make her a Doctor of the Church) including situations of conflict between Therese and her mother prioress regarding her conviction of striving for perfection with confidence and trust in the mercy and love of God.

Beautifully filmed in black and white, with fine performances by the whole cast, this film is an unsung cinematic gem that captures the spirit and life of the beloved St. Therese.

“Blending historical drama with elements of documentary, Miracle of Saint Thérèse effectively brings the saint’s story and spirituality to life... Beautifully shot in black and white, the film makes excellent use of convincing locations, sets and costumes, and is persuasively mounted throughout.”
— Steven Greydanus, National Catholic Register

The Director's Two-Disc Special Edition
In this contemplative documentary from filmmaker Philip Gröning, the Grande Chartreuse monastery opens its doors to the public for the first time since being founded by St. Bruno in 1084 to offer an intimate look at a lifestyle rarely experienced by those outside of the brotherhood. Located in the remote regions of the French Alps, near the Dauphiné Alps, the Grande Chartreuse is the top monastery of the Carthusian order.

In this documentary, the lives of the pious monks of Grande Chartreuse are captured on film as director Groening adapts to their ascetic lifestyle for six months and captures their daily life without the intrusion of voice-over, musical score, interviews, or archival footage.
