Ireland: Support the Catholic remnant’s rebellion

Immaculata Productions is a Catholic grassroots media charity based in the west of Ireland and formed with the intention of bringing the authentic Catholic faith to an online audience.

The team hope to start producing a beautiful documentary on the Traditional Latin Mass with your help, taking the audience through a stylised and cinematic view of the Mass of the Ages, with commentary by Institute of Christ the King canon Wulfran Lebocq.

After, they will begin work on a 7-part series titled “Creed”, showcasing the great saints and holy sites that build Catholic Ireland and laid a foundation for spreading the Faith around the world. 

With a small but dedicated crew of laity coming from specialised backgrounds in the film industry, Immaculata Productions publishes high quality videos and podcasts, conveying the Catholic Faith’s abundance of beauty, knowledge and wisdom through film, preaching and conversation.

The company’s name and logo were inspired by Our Lady – ‘The Immaculata’ – and St. Maximilian Kolbe. It is said she appeared before Kolbe when he was a boy while clutching two crowns; a red crown for martyrdom, and a white crown for purity. When she asked him which he would accept, Kolbe responded with, “both”.

Although he became a holy priest and martyr, who gave his life for another man in Auschwitz, St. Maximilian was an entrepreneur and innovator. 

He recognised the power of media and sought to evangelise the gospel through every available medium. By 1940, he had been successful in print publishing and radio, however he lost his life before his dream for film could be realised. We aim to fulfil some part of that mission. 

Immaculata Productions is completely independent and reliant on the faithful’s support.
