SYMBOLON: THE SACRAMENTS (30 min)
SYMBOLON is perhaps the most inclusive series on what it is that we believe as Catholics. If you’re in the process of becoming Catholic yourself, or if you’ve been away for a little while (or just would love a refresher), there is no better way to discover our Faith. With beautiful filming, interesting teaching by some of the best teachers, and great storytelling, SYMBOLON is a great gift of Catechesis. If you only watch one video this session, make it this one!
