Press Kit

The Augustine Institute's new Symbolon: The Faith of the Church series explores the unity, beauty, and vitality of the Church through the heroic faith of everyday Catholic communities.

The glory of the Catholic Church is closer than you think.

After its debut 10 years ago, the Augustine Institute's foundational faith formation series Symbolon is new, refreshed, and more relatable than ever. Designed to offer Catholics a fuller understanding of truth and beauty, Symbolon: The Faith of the Church guides catechumens and adult faith formation participants through the core teachings of the Catholic faith, from the beginning of salvation history to present-day parishes.

The series was filmed on location internationally and at significant sites in the American Church, including Philadelphia's National Shrine of St. John Neumann, Oklahoma City's Shrine of Blessed Stanley Rother, St. Augustine's National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, and many others.

Each of the sixteen 30-minute episodes uses beautiful imagery and teaching from acclaimed theologians to captivate audiences and facilitate discussion between catechists and participants. Participant guides, leader's resources, and other supplemental materials are available for purchase.
