Frederick Miller
The distilled wisdom of St. John Vianney for his brother priests. We see what it means to be a priest during difficult times by reflecting on the life of Vianney, who was a priest in the aftermath of the French Revolution; a very difficult time to be a priest. 8 pages color illustration.
The Priest is Not His Own
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
Sheen presents a deeply spiritual look at the meaning of the priesthood and the priest as an “alter Christus”. Sheen delves deeply into what he considers the main character of the priesthood, that of being, like Christ, a “holy victim”.
Christ the Ideal of the Priest
Fr. Columba Marmion
The great spiritual writer, Fr. Columba Marmion, wrote this classic work on the priesthood to show the holiness that priests are called to, and how that holiness can only be attained through close union with, and imitation of, Jesus Christ. While aimed at the clergy, this profound spiritual work will also be of immense inspiration for laity in coming to a deeper understanding of the true nature and calling of the priesthood.
John Mary Vianney
The Holy Cure of Ars
Sophie de Mullenheim
In this tenderly and colorfully illustrated story, children will learn how John Vianney heard his calling to the priesthood when as a young boy during the French Revolution he attended underground Masses with his devout family. They will also learn how he struggled in school, yet persevered in his studies until his dream to be a priest was realized.
The Cure of Ars
The Priest Who Out-Talked the Devil
Milton Lomask
Jean-Marie Vianney, a farm boy born during the French Revolution, longed to become a priest. But he could not learn Latin, and it seemed as if the humble, lovable, slow-thinking Jean-Marie would never be ordained. He did at last become a priest, and such a holy one that St. Jean-Marie Vianney is invoked as the patron saint and model of parish priests everywhere.
DVDs
Fishers of Men
In 18 minutes Fishers of Men does what hours of apologetic talks on the priesthood and Catholicism struggle to do. This film has even convinced non-Catholics of the importance of the priesthood, and helped many to understand for the first time what the Catholic priesthood is all about. Developed by the United States Conference of Bishops, it is a film to renew priests in their vocation and to encourage them to invite other men to pursue the priesthood.
Pope John Paul II
This epic film follows Karol Wojtyla’s journey from his youth in Poland through his late days on the Chair of St. Peter. It explores his life behind the scenes: how he touched millions of people and changed the face of the Church and the world; how he defended the dignity of mankind.

My Catholic Family
In this wonderful new animated series, Thomas and his wife Helen help their children Alex and Sarah come to a greater understanding of the importance of virtue by teaching them about the lives of the Saints.

St. John Bosco
Mission to Love
Flavio Insinna gives a winning performance as John (Don) Bosco, the great priest and educator of youth from the tough streets of Turin, Italy. Beautifully filmed in Italy, this epic movie dramatizes the many challenges that Don Bosco had to overcome from his childhood through founding his religious order, the Salesians, for helping educate boys.
