The St. Paul Center

The St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, founded by renowned Catholic theologian and author Dr. Scott Hahn, is dedicated to helping Catholics encounter Jesus Christ through a deeper understanding of Sacred Scripture. Its mission is beautifully summarized as “Reading the Bible from the Heart of the Church.” The Center helps Catholics discover the biblical foundations of our faith and understand Scripture within the living Tradition and teaching of the Catholic Church.

The St. Paul Center offers a wealth of resources for anyone wishing to grow in their knowledge and love of the Catholic faith. Visitors will find Catholic Bible studies, online courses, books, podcasts, videos, and reflections from respected Catholic Scripture scholars. Of particular interest are the Word of the Lord weekly reflections with Scott Hahn and John Bergsma, which explore the Scripture readings proclaimed at Sunday Mass.

Whether you are just beginning to explore the Bible or have studied Scripture for many years, the St. Paul Center provides faithful and accessible resources to help you better understand God's Word and see how deeply Scripture, the Mass, the Sacraments, and Catholic teaching are connected.

Word on Fire

Word on Fire Catholic Ministries is a nonprofit global media apostolate that supports the work of Bishop Robert Barron and reaches millions of people to draw them into—or back to—the Catholic faith.

Word on Fire is evangelical; it proclaims Jesus Christ as the source of conversion and new life. Word on Fire is Catholic; it utilizes the tremendous resources of the Roman Catholic tradition—art, architecture, poetry, philosophy, theology, and the lives of the saints—in order to explain and interpret the event of Jesus Christ.

Word on Fire Catholic Ministries exists to draw people into the body of Christ, which is the Church, and thereby give them access to all the gifts that Jesus wants his people to enjoy. To be most effective in this mission, Word on Fire places an emphasis and urgency on the use of contemporary forms of media and innovative communication technologies.

Theology of the Body

As Saint John Paul II’s masterwork, the Theology of the Body (TOB) provides beautiful and compelling answers to the deepest questions we all ask ourselves: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I be happy? Why do I experience all these deep longings in my body and soul and what am I to do with them? What is my ultimate destiny and how do I get there?

In the midst of the profound sexual crisis that is wreaking havoc in both the secular world and in the Church, the TOB offers the hope of healing and restoration we all so desperately need, enabling everyone to rediscover not only the meaning of our creation as male and female, but through that, “the meaning of the whole of existence, the meaning of life” (TOB 46:6).

Catholic Answers

Catholic Answers is one of the largest Catholic apologetics and evangelization organizations in the world, dedicated to explaining and defending the Catholic faith. Its resources help Catholics understand not only what the Church teaches, but why—with answers grounded in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the teaching authority of the Church.

Whether you have questions about the Eucharist, Mary, the saints, Confession, the papacy, salvation, morality, Church history, or how Catholics understand the Bible, Catholic Answers offers an extensive collection of articles, videos, podcasts, and question-and-answer resources. It is an especially helpful place to turn when you encounter a difficult question about the Catholic faith or simply want to understand your faith more deeply.

Formed

FORMED is an online Catholic faith-formation and entertainment platform offering thousands of videos, programs, movies, documentaries, audio talks, books, and Bible studies for Catholics of all ages. Often described as a kind of “Catholic streaming service,” FORMED brings together high-quality resources designed to help individuals and families learn, live, and share the Catholic faith.

Resources include programs on Sacred Scripture, the Sacraments, Church teaching, prayer, the lives of the saints, marriage and family life, and spiritual growth, along with Catholic movies and children's programming. FORMED can be used individually or through participating parishes, making it an excellent resource for personal study, family faith formation, small groups, and parish ministries.

Franciscan Media

Franciscan Media provides Catholic resources inspired by the spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan tradition, helping people encounter God and live the Gospel in everyday life. Its approachable articles, reflections, podcasts, and prayer resources encourage a spirituality centered on Christ, simplicity, compassion, peace, and care for others.

One of its best-known resources is Saint of the Day, which introduces readers to the lives and witness of saints from throughout the history of the Church. Franciscan Media also offers daily reflections, prayer resources, spiritual guidance, and articles exploring Catholic faith and spirituality. It is an excellent resource for anyone looking for a brief daily opportunity to pray, reflect, and grow closer to Christ.
