Resources for Using Feature Films

in Faith Formation

St. Ignatius once said we can "find God in all things." Since popular feature films are about life, clearly we can find elements in the movies that reveal the presence God and relate somehow to Catholic faith. Here are some great resources to help you make those connections between film and faith.
