My children are pretty adept at finding mindless entertainment on the internet. It takes a bit more effort to find more edifying material. Fortunately some of our local priests have been offering videos for children.
FSSP Parramatta has created videos to serve for their regular Thursday afternoon Catechism Classes. This video is especially poignant, describing different saints who were deprived of the Sacraments for different reasons. Fr Wallace is fantastic.
Check the rest of their channel for a meditation on the Crucifixion through a beautiful painting and the life of St Louis de Montfort plus daily Mass and more.
Bishop Columba from the Wilcannia Forbes Diocese has made a few short videos especially for children. Here is one I particularly like about St Isidore of Seville, patron saint of the Internet.
Visit the rest of his channel for a similar video about St Rita and more.
Lastly, Fr Brendan Murphy of Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, St Marys, held a storytime for an older audience about Fr John Therry: Father of the Church in Australia.
As I prepared this article I found that of course these are not the only priests to take this initiative. Please join in the discussion on Facebook to add in your recommendations.
