Holy Childhood Association has a library of more than 60 videos to help teachers and cathecists share the Gospel message of bringing God's love to the people of the missions. There are videos for all age groups and grade levels.

Stories include the lives of Saints and holy people living today facing the challenges of spreading the Gospel to every land. The videos are offered for use by teachers free of charge, and can be checked out for 3 weeks at at time. To help us insure that everyone in the Archdiocese may have access to these videos we ask that there be no more than 2 videos out at any one time to a school or RE program

NEW Videos

Some new additions to our library include:

An African Christmas-- produced in Tanzania is suitable for grades 6 through 8.
The First Valentine -- an adventure of imagination in which Tess, age 13, discovers a new meaning of love on Valentine's Day. Through a very special book she meets the third century martyr Valentine and his Christian friends who show her what it means to love others as Jesus loves us, and to receive that love in return. Appropriate for grades 3 through 6 (25min.) (Gateway Vision Films)
Mother Teresa: Seeing the Face of Jesus -- presents the life and work of Mother Teresa with words and animated pictures that even the youngest child will enjoy. Children will learn that Mother Teresa was a person much like themselves: a person whose strong faith and trust in God helped her to make incredible changes in our worlk. Appropriate for grades K-6 (35 min.) (Morning Light Media)
Maryknoll Series: The Field Afar -- a 13 piece documenary series in which we join Maryknoll missioners on an adventure to discover God in other lands and cultures.
