Foederis Arca

365 DAYS ON YOUTUBE! 🎉

Today marks 365 days of Foederis Arca on YouTube.

What began as a desire to tell the stories of Catholics who faced persecution, conflict and extraordinary trials has taken us across centuries and continents — from the catacombs of ancient Rome to Reformation England, Penal Ireland, Revolutionary France, Mexico, Japan, Germany, Austria and America.

Over these 365 days, Foederis Arca has remembered saints, martyrs, blesseds and courageous Catholic men and women whose faith deserves to be remembered.

Among them:

St. Joseph
St. Edmund Campion
St. Margaret Clitherow
St. Oliver Plunkett
Blessed Margaret Ball
Blessed Miguel Pro
St. Padre Pio
St. Carlo Acutis
St. Pier Giorgio Frassati
St. Agapitus of Palestrina
St. Philomena
St. Juan Diego
Blessed Clemens August von Galen
The Carmelite Martyrs of Compiègne
Servant of God Empress Zita of Austria

We have also told the stories of remarkable figures in Catholic history, including Gabriel García Moreno, Archbishop John Hughes and Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre, alongside countless priests, religious, families and ordinary Catholics who remained faithful when their Faith came at a cost.

We have witnessed hidden Masses, hunted priests, convents under attack, Catholics driven underground, bishops confronting governments, martyrs facing death, and ordinary men and women making extraordinary choices for their Faith.

And 365 days later, we have barely begun.

To everyone who has watched, commented, shared a documentary, subscribed, or supported Foederis Arca from the beginning: Thank You! ❤️

If you are discovering Foederis Arca for the first time, we invite you to visit the channel, explore our documentaries, and subscribe as we continue uncovering and preserving these remarkable stories from Catholic history.

Here’s to another year of remembering those who came before us — and ensuring that their courage is not forgotten.
