NEW Blessed Francisco DVD

Currently in production and due for completion and hopefully release in April 2011 is a new documentary focussing upon Blessed Francisco Marto.

A simple yet absorbingly beautiful blend of portrayals, photographs, artwork and narration make this an original and yet powerful, moving and important encounter with this young Blessed of the Universal Church.

What was so special about a simple shepherd boy in Portugal at the beginning of the nineteenth Century? What was it that he saw between the months of May and October of 1917? What is his story and what was his secret? Francisco Marto died when he was just ten years old and yet he left behind something wonderful. Encounter a shepherd boy, a beautiful Lady and an astonishing story that will remain with you forever.

This 30 minute documentary will be presented on DVD at £9.99.

We aim to keep our prices as low as possible for our original productions so as to make them available to as many people and to spread the inspiring and important, moving, relevant and often challenging lives of the family of our great Saints, Blesseds and Martyrs in the Roman Catholic Church.

Blessed Francisco Marto was beatified (the last step before being declared a Saint) by Pope John Paul II in the year 2000.

Saint Cuthman of Steyning

A DVD on Saint Cuthman - as seen on EWTN.

Saint Cuthman is a little known Saint whose life played out in Britain in the 7th Century. Simple, poor, humorous and devotedly Catholic, his life was filled with adventure and miracles. Set in the rolling hills of Sussex and seeped in the history of Britain, Saint Cuthman is a little known treasure of the Catholic Church and his story is a joyful delight of faith and determination.
Saint Cuthman was the main focus of Christopher Fry’s play ‘The boy with a cart’ in 1945.

Saint Swithun Wells new film

Available in all DVD region formats from our online website, by phone or by fax or from Amazon UK (Amazon UK, Ireland and Europe only).

Saint Swithun Wells is one of the Forty Martyrs of England and Wales. Completely Catholic and radically determined, his life was caught up in the drama and politics of his times. He sheltered hunted Catholic priests, defied the authorities and sacrificed his life for the Catholic Church in England. He stands in history as one our greatest Elizabethan Englishmen and yet his story is little known.

With historical figures such as Mary Queen of Scots, Richard Topcliffe, Queen Elizabeth and fellow Catholic Martyrs, the life of St. Swithun Wells is revealing, gripping and inspiring.
