This looks to be very good....have been waiting for it. ;-)
Thanks for the reminder!
8PM Eastern? If so....we have a mission going on in Church. I’ll have to see the videos later.
Ahhhhh well...
If this is half as good as the EWTN series based on the book “How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization” it will be spectacular.
Same truth-filled theme as this remarkable commercial:

I have ordered the DVD set for Christmas. Can’t wait to watch it. I became Catholic on Easter Eve, 2008 and it was the greatest thing I have ever done in my life. Nothing comes close. Peace be with you my brothers and sisters.
They posted a flyer of this series in our weekly bulletin. I’m going to DVR it for later viewing by dh and myself. I’m very interested in seeing it.
NYER I saw this on KLCS Channel 58 here in SO CAL IT IS GOODDD
If you want to feel even better about our Faith and arm yourself to defend Her against the ignorant, I highly recommend the book (and EWTN series) I mentioned.
God Bless you on your faith journey.
I am a late convert myself, coming into The Church, Easter, 1999.
We were thrilled to see this offered on EWTN. We kept waiting for the local Public Broadcasting channel, WGBH, to put it on, but like the idea of watching EWTN better, anyway.
From what I understand, what you saw does not include THESE episodes. Be sure to watch and let me know if they repeat what you saw, okay?
****I am a late convert myself, coming into The Church, Easter, 1999.****
Late, but not TOO late :)
Welcome, both of you.
Thank-you.
You are right it is never too late:
Matthew 20:1-16
Like scenes they don’t shown on TV it was good if same one I thinking of the priest did the history of it pretty knowledge he explain Good Bad and Ugly of Cathoic history that very informative
I find your screen name to be very interesting for a Catholic.
I kept missing it here in Detroit but our parish is showing it.
Wednesdays are CCD at our parish.
Screen name in honor of my father, and let’s not forget that Luther never wanted to break up the Church, only reform, which it needed.
I have ATT Uverse and the titles listed above don’t match the description on my dvr. For example, Fri at 10pm my tv says I’m going to get the episode on Peter and Paul (which I already recorded off of PBS). Now I know I will set my dvr for everything, even if I get repeats.
Thanks for the head up.
