PRAY: THE STORY OF PATRICK PEYTON follows Father Peyton from his small-town boyhood in Ireland, through a life-changing Marian medical miracle, to his unlikely rise as a champion of the Rosary and a producer during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Boston’s Cardinal Seán Patrick O'Malley endorsed the film, saying, “I encourage you to see this film and hope that it will strengthen your prayer life and lead you to begin a regular practice of prayer.”

PRAY is on DVD/Blu-Ray, and can be streamed at UP Faith & Family, or rented/purchased online. It can also be licensed to screen at churches and groups. More at PraytheFilm.com.

Starting about six years ago, the Gabriel Award-winning digital series Catholic Central, and, later on, its Spanish-language counterpart, Lente Católico, use short YouTube episodes to teach the Faith.

Featuring humor and engaging hosts, both have several episodes focusing on prayer. They can be accessed directly through their YouTube channels, or at CatholicCentral.com and LenteCatolico.org.

Said Father Mike Schmitz: “Catholic Central plays a much-needed role on the Internet. … We need more resources like this.”

Released in early 2024, the YouTube series Lasting Marriages: I Do…And I Still Do talks to five long-wed Catholic couples to discover how they have overcome challenges and stayed together … including a reliance on prayer. You can find all the episodes at LastingMarriages.org.

A YouTube commenter said: “This series is helping me so much. U have no idea. The couples are so genuine, so real. God bless them all.”
