Footage of the Youth Rally For Life and Mass For Life From Washington, D.C. is now available at http://www.CatholicTV.com/catholic-television.

The Youth Rally For Life included musical performances by Steve Angrisano, Ike Ndolo, Maddie Curtis and an audience of thousands of young Catholics from around the country.

During his homily, which is viewable now at CatholicTV.com, Fr. Mark Ivan said, “The biggest difference between other civil rights movements and the right to life movement is that the people whose rights are being taken away by Roe vs. Wade are not here to stand up for themselves. They can’t show the people in power that they are just as human as everyone else, they can’t march around Washington like the women who were denied the right to vote, they can’t give powerful speeches like Fredrick Douglass or Martin Luther King. The millions of unborn babies that have been affected by abortion aren’t here to stand up for themselves.”

Cardinal Donald Wuerl of Washington presided over the Mass For Life at the Verizon Center. Due to overwhelming attendance at this event in the past years, a second Youth Rally and Mass for Life also took place at the DC Armory and allowed an additional 10,000 youth to attend.

CatholicTV Network Gives Viewers Exclusive Vatican Access with Never Before Seen Footage of Pope Benedict’s Daily Life

CATHOLICTV NETWORK, the nation’s leader in family-positive religious programming, is going inside the walls of the Vatican, into Pope Benedict XVI’s private residence and capturing intimate details of his daily life.

This must-see program airs as a special one-hour edition of House+Home on January 12, 2011 at 9:00 PM (Eastern).

Join Father Robert Reed as he serves as a tour guide on the ultimate insider excursion. Stand feet away as The Holy Father vests and celebrates private morning Mass, sense the joy as he creates new bishops for the Church, sit at the table in the pope’s private dining room, accompany the pope as he meets with Heads of State, be escorted by Swiss guards inside restricted areas and catch the pope’s private moments right before his most public encounters.

Each year, millions of people jam St. Peter’s Square for the Sunday Angelus blessing of Pope Benedict. But none of them have ever been inside the pope’s private study the minutes before he steps up to his study window to address the masses.

Until now.

Be a part of this unique moment – the energy, the excitement and Pope Benedict’s surprising calm.

“There was so much unbelievable footage, the show could easily be twice as long. We crammed the most riveting, impactful and impressive moments in this fast-paced hour,” said Reed. “It is a true honor for us at the CatholicTV Network to be able to share the Pope’s daily life with our audience. Oftentimes, a show is just titled ‘a special,’ this one really is.”

This House+Home special event kicks off a whole month focused on Rome. From January 1 to January 31, CatholicTV Network debuts Viaggio a Roma, a thirty-part original series on ancient and Christian Rome.

Amazing Story of Catholic Woman Who Helped Save 2500 Jewish Children Will Be Discussed on Live CatholicTV Talk Show

On December 7th, the story of Irena Sendler and the three high school girls who produced a nationally-known play about Sendler will be discussed on the CatholicTV talk show “This is the Day”.

Jack Mayer, author of the book “Life in a Jar: The Irena Sendler Project” (Life in Jar), will be interviewed on This is the Day.

Life in a Jar tells the story of Sendler, a Polish Catholic social worker who organized a rescue network to save 2,500 Jewish children from certain death in the Warsaw ghetto.

In 1999, three high school girls from an economically depressed, rural school district in southeast Kansas stumbled upon a reference to Sendler’s rescues, which they fashioned into a history project, a play they called “Life in a Jar”. Their innocent drama was first seen in Kansas, then the Midwest, then New York, Los Angeles, Montreal, and finally Poland.

Life in a Jar has been performed over 250 times. Along the way, the story of the three high school students and Life in a Jar became nationally known and the students appeared on C-SPAN, National Public Radio, CBS, CNN, the Today Show, and in the New York Times, L.A. Times, and more

Paul Kenney co-authored a new book about Coach Cotter called “A True Man for Others: The Coach Jim Cotter Story”.
