CaFE resources help Catholics to explore and grow in their faith using modern media.
Since 1996, Catholic Evangelisation Services, based at All Saints Pastoral Centre, in Westminster Diocese, have been producing top quality video resources that are inspiring, practical and enjoyable.
The CaFE resources are flexible and can be adapted to the needs of individual parishes.
They are being used in a wide variety of ways, including: sacramental preparation, small parish groups, youth and school groups.
They are easy to run and can be lead by lay people under the guidance of the parish priest.
When shown in a "Cafe style" environment, large numbers of people are being drawn to the video sessions and as a result are growing in their faith.
CaFE resources are being used around the world.
CaFE resources are designed to fit into a school term
Since Vatican II, the Church has been encouraging the use of modern media for proclaiming the gospel.
'The Church can use the media for the formation of Christians and for pastoral activity'
Vatican II
'Catholics must be bold and creative in developing new media and methods of proclamation.'
John Paul II, World Media Day 200
CaFE resources are fun, informative and challenging. They help parishes and schools to promote:
DISCIPLESHIP - helping Catholics to get more enthusiastic about their faith in Jesus Christ.
COMMUNITY - creating and nourishing small groups where people can share and grow together.
EVANGELISATION - empowering Catholics to make more of a difference in the world around them.
'Faith must be alive in order for it to be caught. These CaFE video resources will help to inspire believers to deepen their understanding of the Lord and be more open to the Holy Spirit'
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
'CaFE Videos are powerful and flexible resources for parishes.'

'I believe CaFE is a potential gem. It is comprehensive in its spread and powerful in its effect.'
