Faithful Witness
A 52 minute audio/radio documentary produced by the Pontifical Mission Societies offers a reflection on the life and witness of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, and his love of church, family and the Missions. Archbishop Sheen is a former National Director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith (1950-1966). The audio CD is free and appropriate for grades 7 and up. Contact our local office to reserve your fee copy.
Mission Lessons
Now available from the Pontifical Mission Societies are "Mission Lessons"- 60-second audio messages featuring National Director, Monsignor John Kozar, reflecting on what he has seen on visits to the Developing World - the life-giving service of priests, Religious Sisters and Brothers, and lay catechists - and on what he has learned from missionaries. The 60-secondspots then relate those experiences to the "lessons" they hold for the everyday lives of listeners.
Available at no cost, these "lessons" can be used for spiritual/prayerful meditation, as well as for small group discussion starters. Visit www.iamamissionary.org to preview these audio lessons or call
