What is the 'communion of saints'?

Did you know you are connected to the saints in heaven? It’s true. Our lives as Christians are intertwined with the men and women who have walked before us in the faith. We’re even more connected to them than to our family here on earth… because they are our heavenly family. They are rooting for us, interceding for us, and waiting for us in heaven. Think of the moment when we finally arrive at heaven’s gates; who will be cheering for us? Our extended family: the saints! Which saints will you be excited to meet?

We believe it is the faithful echo of a God who desires to reveal himself to us. The mission of Real+True is to retransform the catechism into a living voice for the modern world. We’re creating videos, stories, animations, podcasts, to unpack and unlock the catechism of the catholic church for the modern world. All these videos are free, and translated into multiple languages for the world. Real+True is a project of OSV under the patronage of the Holy See and supported by people who join our mission.
