“You matter eternally…you are an infinite and multi-dimensional, living and eternal person.”
Uplifted: What Makes You Happy? is a fresh look at our ultimate purpose in life: union with God in whose image and likeness we are made (Gen. 1:27). The video series and book answer the questions posed by men and women throughout the centuries: what makes you happy? The rich content is thought provoking and forces one to look deep within.
Each video episode, taught by Fr. Brad Elliot, O.P. and Sr. Maria Catherine Toon, O.P., has a corresponding book chapter which includes refection questions, a selection from a broad spectrum of authors, and a ‘made for wholeness’ section which provides neurological and spiritual insights into living a fully integrated life.

I am grateful to have this resource and to share it with others!”

Uplifted: What Makes You Happy? is a resource that looks to serve the catechesis of students aged 13 and older. The authors describe it as “a general introduction to living the Christian life,” and it has for its end that those addressed will be equipped to achieve “their ultimate purpose in life – union with God.”
Uplifted – the fruit of the collaboration of the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist, Ann Arbor, Michigan, and the Dominican Friars of the Western Province, headquartered in California – can proudly boast of its Dominican pedigree, with its clear focus on growing in the virtues as the measure of moral education. The video series and the book that goes along with it aim to offer sound doctrine, through an engaging pedagogical method, rooted in a healthy understanding of the human person. I highly recommend Uplifted to pastors, religion teachers, and catechists who are looking for a presentation of the Christian moral life that can be characterized as evangelizing: offering the new life in the Holy Spirit as great good news from Jesus Christ, about how we were made for happiness and how He made us anew to arrive there with Him.
– Archbishop Allen Vigneron, Archbishop of Detroit

In a culture full of noise and endless options, the Uplifted- What Makes You Happy? video series and book stand out as an opportunity to intrigue, convict, and transform young people with the Gospel. The quality is excellent, the content engages the mind and the soul, all while allowing the viewers to personally ‘wrestle’ with God and what he has for their life. This is another Spirit-filled contribution from the Dominican Sisters Mary Mother of the Eucharist and the Dominican Friars of Holy Name Province!
