We often think of Mary as quiet, submissive, and docile. But a look at this important prayer from the Bible shows a different side of her, a side that speaks to the might of God and His power to liberate the poor and marginalized.

You have questions about the Catholic faith and what it means to be Catholic. We have answers. Using a team of witty writers, appealing hosts - like Nick, Gabby, Kai, and Libby - and even some learned theologians, we’ve created shareable, snackable videos that teach the timeless truths and deep history of the Church with humor and heart. Produced in the Family Theater Productions studios on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, “Catholic Central” entertains, enlightens, and inspires.
Slater earned a BA from Minnesota State University at Mankato, and a Masters from Saint John Paul the Great Catholic University. Also a singer and dancer, Slater has completed a Spartan Race, and uses the pain from that—along with large helpings of coffee and prayer—to help her get over missing Minnesota.
Johnson earned a BFA from the University of Minnesota in Duluth. He’s also the president of the Hollywood Chesterton Society. An elite obstacle racer, he came within a whisker of winning on the premiere episode of NBC’s "Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge.”
“Catholic Central plays a much-needed role on the Internet. Not only are Kai and Libby great at communicating the truths of the Catholic faith in a clear and understandable way, but their presentation is also incredibly entertaining and the production value very high. We need more resources like this!”
Fr. Mike Schmitz, Catholic priest and media evangelist
“The catechetical videos from Catholic Central are just what I was looking for in my high school Theology classes! They have been a valuable teaching tool in introducing new material and reinforcing it in an accurate, entertaining way that gets the attention of the students.”

“I really, really, really love Catholic Central. It’s fun, informative and easy to understand! It’s critically important to share the faith in such a way that is not dry or boring, or presented in terms that are not understandable to much of today’s world. Catholic Central evangelizes and catechizes in such a way that people are drawn in. Thank you!!”
