Saint Bede, England's Doctor of the church, a film of his life

In 2007 Mary's Dowry Productions created a new form of film media in which to present the lives of the Saints on DVD. We invite you to watch our film prayerfully and quietly and to engage your spiritual senses. Watch with your spiritual eye, listen with your spiritual ear.

Mary's Dowry Productions loves to recreate key moments, silently and with no dialogue, from a Saint's life, using historical costume and beautiful backdrops. Original contemplative music runs beneath a detailed narrative that seeks to engage the viewer with the Saint. Our films offer a window into the life of each Saint.

We will be working on a new film which will present the life of Saint Bede this year (2014).

Saint Bede is known as the Father of English History and is also England's Doctor of the Church.

We have been asked many times to produce a film about Saint Bede so will be working on his lovely story this year and hope to release it soon.

UPDATE:

Out now on DVD

 DVDs are available worldwide through our online shop

Plague priest, a film about Saint Henry Morse, English Martyr, Jesuit priest

The plague priest, Saint Henry Morse, has a fascinating story of bravery in 1635 London.
Mary's Dowry Productions film about the Priest of the Plague is due for release soon!
Known as the Priest of the Plague due to his work with the persecuted English Catholics and plague victims during the 1630's plague epidemic, this Jesuit priest is a wonderful example of faith and determination during difficult times.

He worked with fellow English Martyr Saint John Southworth (OUT NOW) but also had a heroic mission of his own, finding himself hunted, captured, arrested and exiled many times during his work in England as he worked to bring the outlawed Sacraments to the faithful. 

He was finally imprisoned and executed at Tyburn in 1645 leaving us an inspiring testimony relevant for England today.

Other films on the lives of the English Martyrs include:

 

Saint Edmund Arrowsmith

Saint Richard Gwyn

Saint Edmund Gennings

and many more.

Saint Mildred is an obscure English Saint. She was the great, great granddaughter of King Ethelbert of Kent, that holy King who received Saint Augustine of Canterbury and the Catholic Faith into England.  She was sent to France to study and there suffered at the hands of a temperamental Abbess who had designs on Saint Mildred for her nephew Sir Claude.  There was a miraculous escape from a roaring oven and a flight to a ship while bearing the holy Relic of one of the Nail's used in the crucifixion.  When she stepped off of her mother's ship once back in England she left her footprint in the rock and it was kept as a relic for centuries.

She at one time outshone Saint Augustine himself in England due to the English people's love of her.
