The Search consists of a series of videos that tackle the key questions of every human heart. It invites us to examine life and death, happiness and sadness, science and faith, all pointing out to one big conclusion: Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith! The Search is just one of the many programs that can be watched individually, as a family, or a parish group to deepen the faith and transform hearts for Christ.
