Filmmaker Bio: This group of teenagers got together over the summer to learn about the YOUCAT. We also learned to use the media to spread the Gospel. We thought it would be a great idea to make a video on the YOUCAT and submit it for this contest.

YOUCAT/Catechism Inspiration: This film supports a non-profit that promotes JPII’s Message of a Gospel of Life by adoption, outreach to single mothers and children in need, tuition-free classical Catholic education, and other charitable services
