DVD- Mother Teresa No Greater Love
Twenty-five years have passed since the death of Mother Teresa, sparking a renewed interest in this spiritual giant of the 20th century. Filmed on 5 continents and featuring unprecedented access to both institutional archives and the apostolates of the Missionaries of Charity, this unique film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ through the poor continues to be realized today through the Missionaries of Charity. Far more than a documentary film, this is at once a soaring tribute to a spiritual icon, a powerful witness of authentic Christiaan charity, and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times. Produced by acclaimed filmmaker, David Naglieri, it includes commentary from prominent Catholics including Bishop Robert Barron; Fr. Donald Haggerty, best-selling spiritual author; and Fr. Brian Kolodiejchuk, postulator of Mother Teresa's cause of canonization.

DVD- Purgatory: The Secret Revelations of St. Padre Pio and Fulla Horak
How much do we know for certain what lies beyond the grave? Gathering evidence from both the science surrounding near death experiences, and the mystical revelations of saints like St. Stanislaus Papczynski (1631-1701), St. Faustina Kowalska (1905-1938), and St. Padre Pio (1887-1968), director Michal Kondrat (Love and Mercy: Faustina) presents in this docu-drama solid proof for the reality of Purgatory. Combining expert testimony with dramatizations, this film draws the viewer into a much larger world than the simply physical, exploring the reality of Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. This powerful film examines the Christian teaching of the immortality of the soul, and it offers a compelling summons to the importance of our praying for the dead.

DVD- The Siege of Vienna
This epic film tells the powerful true story of one of the most important military battles in history, recounting the Ottoman Turks massive invasion of Vienna, the gateway to the West, on September 11, 1683, a moment when Christendom and Western civilization truly hung in the balance.
Islam was at the peak of its expansion in the West. 300,000 Islamic troops, under the command of the Grand Vizier, Kara Mustafa, besieged the city they called 'The Golden Apple', with the goal to conquer Vienna, then Rome and all Christendom.
The Christian forces in Vienna, under the leadership of a weak Emperor Leopold I, were unprepared and vastly outnumbered for the onslaught. But a holy, courageous Capuchin monk, Blessed Marco D'Aviano, arrives in Vienna to rally the forces, and calls all the Christian people to fervent prayer, reminding them what is at stake: "Our wives, our children, and most importantly -- the future of our Catholic Faith!"
Marco also pleads for the aid of the great Polish King and military leader, Jan Sobieski. Carrying a huge banner of their Black Madonna, Sobieski and his famed Winged Hussars respond to the call, and the epic battle ensues for the freedom of Christendom.
Buttressed by glorious cinematography, beautiful sets and costumes, dramatic war scenes, and a compelling music score, the film includes powerful performances by an outstanding cast with F. Murray Abraham, Jerzy Skolimowski, Claire Bloom, Piotr Adamczyk, and Enrico Lo Verso.

DVD-90 Minutes In Heaven
Based on the New York Times best selling book of the same name. When a semi-truck crushed pastor Don Piper's car on January 18, 1989, he was killed instantly. The first rescue workers to arrive on the scene confirmed him dead, and Don's body laid under a tarp for the 90 minutes following. His soul though, was experiencing love, joy, and life like he'd never known before. Don was in Heaven.
Through the prayers of another pastor, Don was brought back to life, and he became a living miracle. For Don though, this was a miracle he wish hadn't happened. Replacing Heaven's bliss was excruciating pain and emotional turmoil. With continued prayers and support by his family and friends, both near and far, Don held onto his faith in God and fought to regain a semblance of his previous life. Rated PG-13. Approx. 2 hours.

In 1948 Aurora Marin arrives with her family at the convent of the Canossian Sisters of Schio, Italy, where Sister Bakhita has just died. Aurora was hoping to see her before she died. She gathers her children around the picture of Bakhita and tells them of the incredible life of the woman that had raised her as her nanny. Born in a village in Sudan, kidnapped by slavers, often beaten and abused, and later sold to Federico Marin, a Venetian merchant, Bakhita then came to Italy and became the nanny servant of Federico's daughter, Aurora, who had lost her mother at birth.

Bakhita gradually comes closer to God with the help of the kind village priest, and embraces the Catholic faith. She requests to join the order of Canossian sisters, but Marin doesn't want to give her up as his servant, treating her almost as his property. This leads to a moving court case that raised an uproar which impacts Bakhita's freedom and ultimate decision to become a nun. Pope John Paul II declared her a saint in the year 2000. Directed by Giacamo Campiotti (St. Giuseppe Moscati, Doctor Zhivago) and stars Fatou Kine Boye, Stefania Rocca, Fabio Sartor, Ettore Bassi, and Francesco Salvi.

DVD-Case Against Contraception
Is the Church wrong on contraception?
In a world that practically worships the pursuit of sexual pleasure, the Catholic Church’s teaching on contraception can seem unintelligible. Critics say it is outdated, harmful, and theologically unfounded and even faithful Catholics can have difficulty explaining this moral teaching.
That’s why Catholic Answers Studios is releasing Trent Horn’s DVD, The Case Against Contraception. In this dynamic presentation, Trent reveals:
- The logical case against contraception rooted in natural law principles that can be known from reason alone
- The uniform condemnation of contraception in scripture and Church history
- The real story behind the infamous pontifical “birth control commission” that recommended Pope Paul VI change the Church’s teaching on contraception
- Answers to common objections against the Church’s teaching and evidence that contraception has had a negative impact on women and society
- How families can space the births of their children without relying on intrinsic evils like contraception or abortion
Using natural law, Scripture, papal and magisterial teaching, and new insights provided by social science and medicine, Trent puts forward a compelling case with charity and persuasive graciousness.
As we pass the fiftieth anniversary of Humanae Vitae and critics continue to attack its reaffirmation of the Church’s teaching on contraception, this presentation will give you the tools to explain why the Church is unabashedly always on “the side of life.”

DVD-Clare and Francis
A major epic feature film on the lives of St. Clare and St. Francis of Assisi shot on location in Italy by the Italian film company Lux Vide, the producers of Saint Rita, Pope John Paul II and St. John Bosco. This outstanding movie is unique among films on St. Francis because of the historical accuracy of the story and its authentic spirit of joy and piety Francis was known for, as well as the major role played by Clare who is given equal stature with Francis. The two leads are played by very appealing performers, Mary Petruolo and Ettore Bassi, who give genuinely inspiring and beautifully moving performances of the daughter of a patrician family and the son of a rich merchant who leave all to follow Christ. Francis renounces his inheritance of wealth to live the Gospel and serve the poor and outcasts. Clare reads deep into his heart and decides to follow him, leaving her home and family to give herself as the bride of Christ. Both found major religious orders and together they inspire many to follow their radical call to live the Gospel, and their impact has even reached across the centuries to change the world.
This DVD includes the following language tracks: English and Italian language, Spanish & English subtitles.
Special Features: Behind the scenes featurette and a special “Making of Clare and Francis” featurette with Franciscan Fr. Raniero Cantalamessa, Preacher to the Papal Household.
