Movies tell stories about our common human experience and our faith leads us to be more authentically human. We are excited to be able to make available to you the guides that we use at the Pauline Center for Media Studies.

Meeting Jesus at the Movies, Cinema Divina, and Kids Meeting Jesus at the Movies Guides are tools that we hope you, your family, your classroom and your parish will find helpful to enter into the media culture with a faith perspective, finding in this media-mindful approach to popular media insights about how to grow in our relationship with Christ and others.

Click on and download the two free "How To" guides below. They provide helpful tips for holding a "Movie Night," with a parish group, a class, or your family. You can also download the guide for new film, The Bad Guys, for free!
