[@CatholicCentralVideos]

We are glad we could help!

[@gerardvinet8448]

I always thought that giving to the Lord spiritually was a 24hr...365 days duty & having generosity was a great quality to have till eternity , lol ! God Bless .

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

They should be, but no one is perfect.

[@markgenovesi7329]

I often use these videos to start topics and conversations in my 7th and 8th grade religion classes here at Saint Francis de Sales School in Toledo, Ohio. Very well done and very informative.

Educational, entertaining and all around, a great addition to the shows geared toward helping us learn about our Catholic faith. Thank you both.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Thank you Robert.

[@Camelepiz]

I've used a couple of your videos with my Confirmation class - thank you so much for the quality and humor of these videos! I also appreciate that you include bits of Church history and Tradition these multi-dimensional lessons. Bravo!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Elena M. Cambio thank you for watching! We’re so glad you can use them!!

[@GregAitchison]

I agree! These videos are great! Like reading the Catechism but in video format, in words familiar to everyone, and in a totally hilarious manner.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Greg Aitchison thank you! We aim to please!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

We are shooting right now and we read both of these comments out loud on set! Thanks so much for encouraging all of us!

[@fedorayquaza_ggezz5506]

I STILL LOVE YOU

[@dolphygoveas]

Thank you so much, I use your different videos to teach my CCD/Sunday School kids. Your videos are so simple and easy for the kids to understand. Thank you so much and God continue to bless you all. Make more such videos to help the catechism teachers to support their students.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Dolphy Goveas, we are glad you enjoy our video and that you use them for your class. It may interest you to know that we are currently in pre-production to produce more episodes and hope to have additional content in late summer or early autumn.

[@blancaarellano5516]

👏 👏 👏 thank you!

[@theprofessor2403]

This production quality is soo good!! How is this not more popular?!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Help us to become more popular, spread the word!

[@TheEve55]

I wish you guys would make more videos. My teens love them!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

We are working as fast as we can! 😊

Thank you so much for this video it helps me as a child to understand better and what lents about. Alicia Estrada Cia

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Alicia, we are we were able to help you! We hope you will check out our other videos as well.

[@Camelepiz]

Hey all! I plan to use this with my Faith Formation families as we prepare for Lent. Thanks again for all you're doing! Bravo.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Yayyyy! So glad to hear that!

[@Camelepiz]

@@CatholicCentralVideos I know this would required hiring more people :) but it would be so cool if you had worksheets to go along with some of these videos, to help kids take notes and record some of the points they learned. I'm doing this on my own to guide their comprehension as they watch.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Elena M. Cambio that’s a good idea! We do have PDFs for each episode available on our website, but we hadn’t thought about worksheets for note taking!

[@taqueritovaquerito]

Love the videos! Great to show to confirmation candidates

I am giving up soda and meats for the forty days of lent

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Izzy, that is great!

[@leahmullins1944]

my lent is going well and i gave up my phone which is challenging but it makes me think if the sacrifices Jesus made.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Leah, it seems like you have this Lent thing down! Your being able to make a connection with what you have given up and using it to help you grow closer to Jesus is what it is all about!

[@SydneyCarton2085]

If someone wants to go extreme, let them go extreme. As long as they do not tell YOU how to do your lent. It's not a competition and we are all at different stages in our relationship with God and we are all different. To tell others to stop what YOU think is too extreme, ask yourself where this is coming from, is it envy? Because it makes your lent feel inadequate? Nonsense. This is between an individual and God, period.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Diego, thank you for taking this season with the seriousness it deserves. We do not feel as if we are forcing you to do anything you do not want to do, and that certainly was not our intention. When it comes to each person’s individual style of worship, we all do it a little differently. In this video, we endeavored to give an overview of some of the practices that Catholics follow during this most holy season. At the same time, we need to carefully discern and be at peace that our practices are in fact God’s will, and not a response to God as we might have created him in our own image.

[@Grey_onyx]

I have to watch this for school and I think it's nice

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

We are glad you like it, thank you so much for watching and we hope it helped!

[@lynnoshiro6861]

Public schools can also benefit - Lent and Ramadan are happening simultaneously this year. This is a good way to understand other people's faiths, and why certain practices exist.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Thank you for that observation Lynn Oshiro. Ramadan Mubarek!

[@richolon4648]

Great job in Unplanned Kai! What a light and funny surprise when your face showed up on the billboard!

Love u guys !

[@dandomz]

Good day, CATHOLIC CENTRAL. If I may humbly appeal, kindly do not make this video private since a lot of students find this very informative and helpful. God bless and thank you!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Dandomz, that was a mistake on our part. We had tried to generate some new interest in it by taking it private for a few hours and re-premiering it. That strategy did not work...obviously. Our apologies and thank you for your kind words.

[@sanssnas6252]

Teacher just showed us this, gave the link love it =D

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi GM P, we are glad you liked it!

[@NotAHero123_7]

hello mrs. mchugh, if you dont get the notification, im watching.

[@AnaGarcia-ki2pk]

Thank you so much for this videos it helps me so much reinforce what I cover in our religion education class. My 5th graders love your videos because like they say “ they are fun to watch, we learn, but most important they are not boring” Could you make a video about The Triduum? Or if you have one video already that talks about the Triduum, could you guide me to it. Thanks so much and many blessings to all that make Catholic central possible. 🙏🏼

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Ana, thank you for your kind words; it is good to know that we are having an impact and hope your class continues to enjoy our content. We are always looking for new ideas for episodes and will pass your suggestion on.

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Also, we might suggest - until we have an episode on the Triduum - that you watch our episode on "The Liturgical Year" where Kai and Libby give a brief synopsis of the three days.

[@AnaGarcia-ki2pk]

@@CatholicCentralVideos Thank you so much, I will make sure to write video recommendations😉 I will go watch “ The Liturgical Year” video, blessings 🙏🏼

[@Egg_Sheeran9905]

I’m having to watch this for a strike day lol but I’m gonna get a detention cause it’s 4 o clock when I’m doing this and it’s due in at 3:30

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

What might that be?

[@ngoany9869]

Can ya make a video on the....holidays...and when we celebrate them...cuz...I'm...I'm lost...like easter....advent...others I can't remember

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Ngoan, you can actually find most of your answers in our episode "The Liturgical Year". Along with our episode on The Liturgical Year, we have short episodes on Easter, Advent, Christmas and St. Patrick's Day.

[@eckchannel3956]

Why can Catholics eat fish on Fridays, but not meat? What is the Biblical-significance of celebrating Lent for 40 days? What are the 3 common practices for Catholics during the Lenten Season?

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Eck, these are answered in the episode.

[@ianmunoz5615]

Hi

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi!

[@4ilan150]

wait so, i gave up tik tok on ash wednesday can i start using it on holy thursay?

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi 4ilan, we are sorry we took so long to get back to you, our office closes on Holy Thursday and Good Friday (definitely one of the benefits of working for a Catholic company! 😀). Different people do different things regarding the end of their Lenten duties. What is more important is that you learned something about yourself in giving up TikTok. The act of giving up something is not as important as is the idea of that action creating some sort of change of heart. In any event, we are now a couple of days past Easter and hope you are enjoying the multitude of challenges and other videos on Tik Tok!

[@GhostImperator]

I got a question, do I have to do the rosary every day during lent?

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

No, you do not. Some people choose to do it to help them through Lent, but it is totally your choice.

[@GhostImperator]

@@CatholicCentralVideos Ok, thank you!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

You're welcome!

[@stefaniemoss9064]

i am giving up meat and ice cream for lent!!

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

Hi Stefanie, we wish you good luck in your Lenten sacrifice!

[@Anton33175]

Good intention but I believe that such matters deserve more respect and seriousness. US style of forcing everything to be fun gets to a point in which it turns ridiculous. This time is about meditating on the Passion of Christ and his infinite Love for us

[@CatholicCentralVideos]

We are sorry you feel that way.
