Documentary on Eucharistic Adoration On CatholicTV

From June 15th-21st, CatholicTV will be showing a documentary on perpetual adoration entitled "Watch With Me". The documentary follows several Eucharistic adorers who include 2 PhD's and a wise 10-year-old.

The documentary was made by Karey Nobles who was once a television news anchor. She is now a filmmaker. One night, while praying during her weekly holy hour at St. Joseph- St. Patrick’s Catholic Church in West Utica, NY, Karey felt a calling from God to make a documentary film about adoration. Karey answered God’s call and the result is a documentary entitled, “Watch With Me”.

The chapel depicted in the film has been operating for more than 16 years, with over 300 volunteers, taking part in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Karey spent close to two years following some of the volunteers to learn what motivates them to visit the chapel at all hours of the day and night, and what they gain from the experience. “Watch With Me” tells the story of these volunteers and the role Eucharistic Adoration has played in their lives.

In the papal document Sacramentum Caritatis(66) Pope Benedict XVI states: "Receiving the Eucharist means adoring Him whom we receive. Only in this way do we become one with Him, and are given, as it were, a foretaste of the beauty of the heavenly liturgy. The act of adoration outside Mass prolongs and intensifies all that takes place during the liturgical celebration itself. “

The documentary "Watch With Me" will air on CatholicTV during the week of June 15-21st at these times (Eastern): Monday-2PM; Tuesday-10PM; Wednesday-4PM; Thursday-6:30AM; Friday-9PM; Saturday-10:30AM; Sunday-2AM.

New Catholic Reality Show Hits CatholicTV and Internet in High Definition

Starting in June, CatholicTV will air a new reality show called “House+Home”. “House+Home” is a Catholic reality T.V. show taking viewers into Catholic homes with Catholic families. For the month of June, CatholicTV will air the pilot episode of the new series and also offers the pilot episode in its entirety right now at CatholicTV.com free of charge or obligation.

The pilot episode of House+Home takes viewers into the home of the Richard Family. Although their family looks quite normal from the outside, the show reveals a unique Catholic family with a strong faith.

The pilot episode of “House+Home” includes the extraordinary story of daughter “Alexis” whose parents Michael and Laura talk about during the show. Alexis’ mother Laura talks about how during one of the nightly family prayers, Alexis (who was 2-3 years old at the time) prayed aloud for God “to send her brothers and sisters soon.” Alexis was an only child at this time and Laura tried to explain to Alexis that “God sends a brother or a sister, not both at the same time.” Alexis responded, “no mama, God told me I’m going to have brothers and sisters. God told me in my ear.”

Not long afterwards, to Laura and Michael’s amazement, the couple announced to Alexis that they were expecting triplets, to which Alexis replied “there are 2 boys and one girl”. Laura told Fr. Reed on “House and Home” that Alexis turned out to be correct about the sexes of the triplets.

The pilot episode of House+Home also takes viewers through the ordinary parts of Catholic family life such as work, cooking, and leisure. Michael, the father, even discusses financial challenges and how “Whenever we seem to be in a pinch, just relying on our faith, things happen to come through in the nick of time and it happens more often than not.” The Richards also mention briefly how they home-school their 4 children.

Each episode of “House+Home” is hosted by Director of CatholicTV Fr. Robert Reed. The pilot episode of “House+Home” shows Father Reed interviewing, and even cooking pizza with the Richard family. In the pilot episode of “House+Home”, Fr. Reed interviews all family members including the triplets.

New episodes will be posted on the series page as soon as they hit the air. Below is a link to the “House+Home” web page:
