'The pilgrim Church is missionary by her very nature '

Is your parish considering running a mini-mission or organising a retreat for members of the congregation but cannot get speakers?  Many parishes are using a number of the CaFE video courses as the basis for a weekend retreat or a mini-mission. You could create your own programme with times for reflection, Mass and  sharing in small groups. These resources can be run either once a week or as a week's mission, using one video each day within a 'cafe style' environment finishing with times for prayer.

This series is a perfect introduction to video based catechesis. The style of the course is relaxed, with humour, and the content has helped many grow in their understanding of faith and the Church. The aim of this series is to reveal God's love in a deeper and more personal way for Catholics.  Many have commented on the profound effect it has had on them.

Knowing God even Better

A further series by David Payne is aimed at taking people deeper into the riches of the Church and helping Catholics get even more from their faith.  There is a talk on each person of the  Trinity. The series gives practical ways of strengthening a daily prayer life and how to share our faith with others. 

This Is My Body

An engaging video resource designed to inform, inspire and raise prayerful discussion about the great gift of the Mass.  It includes two new sessions showing a filmed meditation on the Mass which is narrated by David Payne (Director of CaFE) based on the book ‘This is my Body’ by the late Fr Ian Petit OSB. There are testimonies, interviews with the celebrant, and musical, prayerful response times and opportunities throughout for group discussion.
