Tech Tips for Catholics

Catholic Media House is a really cool place to get mini movies, motion backgrounds, still backgrounds, and other visual resources to help evangelize “culturally Catholics” and non-Christians alike.

Let me start by saying that these videos remind me of a lot of the stuff shown on Sunday mornings during non-Denominational Church services (which I attended all throughout my college years).  Though on their website, Catholic Media House states that some of the resources could enhance Mass,  I would highly discourage these resources being used during the Sacred Liturgy!  That said, they would be perfect for small groups, Bible studies, RCIA, youth groups and the such.  The following is a quote from their about us page.

Our products are primarily designed to be used in bible studies, retreats, camps, youth and children’s ministry, RCIA, faith formation, devotions, rallies, special events and other types of meetings outside of the Mass.  However, with careful selection, some items may be ideal in the Mass, particularly in certain seasons of the liturgical calendar.  Care, obviously needs to be taken so that the media enhances our worship and is not a distraction.

There are some really comical videos!  I especially like the really, really short cartoons by Steelehouse Productions.  Oh and “The Don’t Song” featuring the duo Johnny and Chachi is hilarious.

I would also encourage you to check out Nineveh’s Crossing’s video titled “Confession” which features Dr. Ray Guarendi.  It is very well done.
