Product Description In order to effectively reach this generation with the richness and beauty of our Catholic faith, it must be done in new and relevant ways. Teens watch a staggering amount of media content each day. Why not reach out to them through this channel that resonates with them and speaks their language? The VCAT Video Catechism does this through creative short films and videos that use cultural analogies, creativity, humor, and always try to answer the question, 'Why should a teenager care about this?' At the heart of each video is a point (or points) articulated by the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This fantastic DVD contains the following 13 short films: The Creed - Is there a difference between believing there is a God and believing in God? (3 minutes) - English & Spanish subtitled versions The Pursuit - I fled him, down the nights and down the days. I fled him, down the arches of the years. I fled him, down the labyrinthine ways of my own mind and in the midst of tears. I hid from him...(5 minutes) 38 Hours - After an earthquake leveled his son's school building, a father digs through the rubble for 38 straight hours, clinging to the hope that his boy is still alive. (5 minutes) Creation - What are the chances of life on earth to have just 'happened'? What are the chances of the universe to be in perfect balance to allow life to exist? (3 minutes) Joy Story - In the hands of young Aaron, the nativity figurines are transformed into 1st century action figures. After Aaron's mother gently guides him away from that activity, the story of Jesus comes to life in the manger and an unusual participant in the scene learns about the important role Mary played in the salvation of the world. (6 minutes) And Became Man - Bishop Michael J. Bransfield and teens of the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston reflect on the Incarnation of Jesus Christ. (6 minutes) That 1 Day - Jesus Christ's ONE DAY on the cross made our ETERNITY in heaven possible. (3 minutes) Where's the Body? - Sempronis and Alexander, the Roman soldiers assigned to guard Jesus' tomb, have a problem. The body is gone. What do they tell Pilate? (5 minutes) - English & Spanish subtitled versions You're Dead. Now What? - Heaven. Hell. Purgatory. Particular Judgment. Final Judgment. What happens when we die? (3 minutes) Chris Padgett on Fire with The Holy Spirit - Through his outrageous humor, incomparable intellect, and stunning good looks, Chris Padgett shares some theological and practical insights about the mysterious third person of the Holy Trinity. (4 minutes) This is My Church - Meet the Savilla family. For generations, Holy Trinity Church in Nitro, West Virginia has been their 'home.' This charming community, like thousands of others around the world, is a very important part of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. (2 minutes) Pray for Me - Josh uses some pretty typical excuses to reject his cousin Emma's attempts to draw him back to Christ. But does he really believe those excuses? (6 minutes) Forgiveness of Sins - Father Joseph Espaillat says what we're all thinking about the hold of sin in our lives. He doesn't stop there, however. This film declares the truth that there is forgiveness of sin for the praise of God's glory. (4 minutes) Review I am a new member of Outside da Box. I received the videos just a week prior to our Confirmation retreat and incorporated several into the retreat schedule. The teens perked up, watched, and listened to the videos. Afterward, they told me, 'We got it. Are there more videos? It's a great way to learn.' Thanks Outside da Box. Using media that speaks to teens really helps! --Peggie Clapp, Youth Minister, St. James Catholic Church, Corinth, MSOutside da Box is an amazing resource. We have used their short films in our Youth Nights and Sacrament Retreats. The teens connect well with the videos, which help lead us into great discussions. I would highly recommend you purchase a membership. --Jeremy Stafford, Director of Youth and Young Adult Evangelization, St. Paul Catholic Church, Phoenix, AZI have used Outside da Box video clips for high school para-liturgical celebrations and for Confirmation sessions and retreats. Young people are digital learners and these video clips meet them where they are. Thanks to Outside da Box, I have a way to connect with the adolescent youth in my ministries. --Sr. Pat Carter, Catholic Curriculum Department Director, Mount St. Joseph Centre, Sault Ste.

The not-for-profit organization, was founded in 2005 by Eric Groth, a veteran youth minister, in order to respond to a tremendous need in the Catholic Church: the absence of relevant Catholic video resources for teens in parish youth ministry and catechetical settings. With a keen understanding of youth culture and a mission to create short films that help teens know, love, and serve Jesus Christ, Outside da Box is responding to JPII's declaration and the Church s call for a 'New Evangelization'. In 2012, two of the films won international awards. Palm Sunday was selected by Telly Awards as Best Religious Short Film. Zombies vs. Jesus was awarded Best Short Film at the John Paul II International Film Festival. Outside da Box stands alone as an organization devoted to the creation of Catholic video resources for teens and is a well-positioned leader and resource in the Catholic Church s efforts to evangelize the young church.
