Saint Nicholas Owen the priest hole maker by Mary's Dowry Productions
Mary's Dowry Productions.

In 2007 Mary’s Dowry productions created a new form of film media to present the lives of the saints. Mary’s Dowry Productions recreates stunning silent visuals, informative, devotional narration, and original contemplative music that touches your spirit to draw you into a spiritual encounter with the saint. Watch with your spiritual eye, listen with your spiritual ear. Our films seek to offer a window into the lives of our saints. Using your spiritual senses we invite you to shut out the world, sit prayerfully and peacefully and go on a journey of faith, history and prayer with this inspiring Saint.
Saint Nicholas Owen, S.J., (c. 1562 – 1/2 March 1606) was a Jesuit lay brother who was the principal builder of priest holes during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and James I of England. After his final arrest, he was tortured to death by prison authorities in the Tower of London. He is honoured as a martyr by the Catholic Church and was canonized by Pope Paul VI in 1970.

Our DVD about Saint Nicholas Owen is told in his own words. Although it is full of information the film was produced from a spiritual aspect. The music is an original composition that lifts the journey and offers a contemplative, absorbing and atmospheric encounter with Saint Nicholas Owen in the context of history and faith.
