From the "Chime Travelers" Team:

“Seeing ‘Chime Travelers’ come to life in this animated series is a dream come true,” said Lisa Hendey, author of the “Chime Travelers” book series and story consultant for the animated series. “For years, I have loved sharing these stories and the lives of the saints with children, parents, schools, and parish groups. Our focus has always been to encourage each child that we are all 'saints in the making,' that God has a unique and powerful purpose for our lives. I know that this delightful new project will take that important message to a whole new level.”

“‘Chime Travelers’ is family-friendly entertainment that shows how faith applies in everyday situations through the wisdom of the saints,” said Fr. David Guffey, executive producer of ‘Chime Travelers’ and the national director of Family Theater Productions. “‘Chime Travelers’ will fill that gap in faith-based entertainment options for younger kids through the tween years and also provide parents an avenue to initiate conversations about gratitude, care and concern for others.”

“Each half-hour episode of “Chime Travelers” features universal themes such as the importance of kindness, generosity, honesty, forgiveness, courage and family unity. It is a joy to share with children this new series, filled with adventure and heart, that allows them an introduction to real, relatable events in the lives of familiar saints,” said Anne Yancey, producer of ‘Chime Travelers.’”

The series can be viewed on Formed and Hallow.
