4Real Forums: Pius Media

Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I just recently joined - on a whim - now what?!

Our first arrival is The Day the Sun Danced: The True Story of Fatima. It just arrived today (on time for the Feast Day!). But now I'm not sure what I should be looking at next, and I would love recommendations (my girls are 6, 4, and 2).

... in doing a little search in the archives I came across a thread that mentioned that Faith and Family has a similar service as Pius Media (which was described to me as the "Catholic" netflix). Any word on the comparison between Faith and Family and Pius Media? A word on that would be helpful too

I look forward to suggestions, too! I also just got a membership!

I got an email the other day about their new resources for homeschoolers, so maybe you could check those out.

Other than the CCC movies, I haven't been exposed to many Catholic movies. This would be a great string to remind us to request movies for upcoming feasts for sure!

... well THAT was nearly a disaster! The Story of Fatima terrified my 6 year old, so much so that she left the room

. But my 4 year old enjoyed it ... huh. I should have known this. My 6 year old won't even watch the Curious George cartoons because something bad always happens to the monkey ...

Oy.

I guess any cartoons about Saints are out ... most of them are martyred

LOL! Ok, none of the rest of the CCC movies are that scary- honest! I do have one friend that doesn't allow that movie for her younger kids, either.

The only other CCC movie I suggest you steer clear of is the Guardian Angel one. It's weird, and I don't like the message. In fact, if anyone would like a copy of that movie you can happily have ours. Seriously.

Ok, now what I came over here to tell you guys:
I have a coupon code from Pius Media! BVM1 will give 50% off the first month. Yay!

I looked at Pius Media and decided it was a bit costly for us - I'd rather take the same money and just buy a dvd a month to build our collection. Normally we end up wanting to buy the movies anyway.

We might try it for a month with the half off code though.
