One of the series is a 4-part explanation of the different things inside a Catholic church and their role in liturgy and practice. Fr. Charles Irvin is our guide in this series which informs Catholics and non-Catholic alike.



This is a good example of using short videos to answer questions people might not ask but which can enhance their understanding of the Church and add meaning to worship.

Faith Magazine’s home is the Diocese of Lansing, Michigan. Since establishing the Diocese of Lansing’s publication in 1999, Faith Catholic has become a national publisher, now publishing magazines and other resources for a growing number of dioceses, archdioceses and Catholic organizations.


Faith Catholic publishes magazines and other Catholic resources for dioceses and Church organizations throughout the United States.

 We’re using the occasion [of Pope Benedict's U.S. visit] as an opportunity to start a broad-ranging conversation about the rich tradition of Roman Catholicism — its history, trajectory, and the contemporary issues Catholics are wrestling with. Although we often hear news stories about the Catholic Church, diverse practitioners of the faith have had little voice in telling their stories.

If you are or were Catholic, we’d like to hear your perspectives on what anchors and unsettles you in this vast tradition. We’re also interested in the hopes and concerns you have for the church, now and into the future.

It will be interesting to find out what personal stories people share. And thanks for the tip about this from Pope2008.com.
