Many people have been endlessly searching YouTube lately to find some entertainment and end to their boredom. While videos of cooking hacks or crazy science experiments may be temporarily enjoyable, they will not bring true joy (or end boredom). What many people don't know is that there are a TON of Catholic YouTubers out there who have amazing messages to share and information about any topic imaginable relating to the Catholic faith. Next time you find yourself endlessly scrolling through YouTube, check out some of these awesome channels that are great for Catholics and Non-Catholics alike. Now when watching YouTube, you'll actually be learning something useful!
Catholic Answers
Okay. So. I know I talk about this amazing organization A LOT but if you just go to their YouTube channel, you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. The apologists at Catholic Answers have an answer to virtually every question you could ever have about the Catholic faith. This would be an excellent resource for those who are new to the faith or are just beginning to discover the wonderful world of Catholicism.
Kid Catholic
This channel was created by a teenager, just like you and me, who felt the need to create a channel specifically for kids and teenagers that teaches about Catholicism. He explains things in a very clear and easy to understand way and is also pretty funny. He has videos on the Bible, high school, current issues, Church teachings, and interviews with people, and much more. Lately, in his videos, he is encouraging everyone to like and subscribe so make sure to do just that :-)
Franciscan University of Steubenville
I know what you're thinking. This is a college. But just trust me with this one. Franciscan University is (in my opinion and in the opinions of many others) one of the best Catholic universities in existence. Along with learning about why this is one of the best Catholic colleges, on this channel, you can watch videos that dive deep into the Catholic faith, virtually attend daily Mass, and see just how special Franciscan university really is.
Breaking In The Habit
This channel was created by a young Franciscan priest who makes videos about different Catholic topics and his journey to the priesthood. The description of his channel is this:
Offering personal reflections and explanations from a Catholic and Franciscan perspective for Christians who want to become better disciples of Jesus Christ and discern their vocation.
There you go! That pretty much sums it up.
Ascension Presents
Ascension Presents is a channel that features videos from numerous "Catholic famous" speakers including Father Mike Schmitz, Taylor Tripodi, Jackie and Bobbie Angel, Fr. Mike Mary, and more. They all give their insight into different Catholic topics and moral issues. If you're a teen who goes to church with me* you'll probably recognize some of these people from confirmation class.
thatonecatholicgirl
This channel is by - you guessed it - a Catholic girl. She gives information about life as a young Catholic as well as answers common misconceptions about Catholicism.
Daughters of Saint Paul Vocations
YouTube and religious sisters don't seem to go together, right? WRONG! These sisters, nicknamed, "the media nuns"use as many forms of media as they can to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, their lover and spouse. The channel features videos including interviews with the sisters, a peek into their lives, storytime with the sisters (for during quarantine), and much more. It's definitely one of my favorites. Check it out!
Sisters of Life
This channel also highlights the life and mission of another religious order, the Sisters of Life. These sisters take a fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life. They do this through caring for pregnant women, as well as those who have had an abortion. They are amazing women who really truly spread Christ's love to the world. Their channel gives songs, saints, podcasts, and testimonies from both the sisters and the women that they have helped.
Students for Life
Students for Life is one of the largest pro-life organizations in America. Their channel provides resources for SFLA groups, pro-life news, and facts about abortion. It is an awesome resource and really makes you aware of how much abortion impacts our society and needs to be stopped.
And the last one...
New Catholic Generation
This one is just funny. The channel was made by a few Catholic college students who really have a passion for the faith. They provide extremely funny videos about Catholic life which may or may not make you laugh out loud.... Trust me. It happens. Frequently.
Of course there are many other Catholic YouTubers, but these are just a few of my favorites. Feel free to comment with your favorite Catholic YouTube channel or let me know if you checked out any of these! Happy Watching!
