"Mary of
Nazareth"
"Mary of Nazareth" is a Catholic
Film that's being released in the United States by Ignatius Press. It is an
incredibly inspiring movie about the life of Mary the Mother of God. There are
currently very few locations that are available to view this film in the
United States. Our desire is to bring this film to you! So that you have the
opportunity to be inspired by the life of Mary.
What We Need & What You Get
In order to show the film in both
Pittsburgh and Stuebenville we need $3,500 to purchase the rights to the film.
Above and beyond that we need money for advertising, theater rentals, and
stipends for recognized Catholic Speakers to lead discussions after the film.
All money raised on indiegogo will be used to pay for the cost of showing the
film in the two locations and all the above listed expenses.
We want you to donate! It is important to
us that you be a part of our team to help us to bring this film first to
the Pittsburgh/Steubenville area and then hopefully to other areas within the
Continental U.S.
So the big question is "What's in it
for me?"
• If you are able to donate just $1 we will put your town in the running for our next location to bring the film! It is our goal to show this film in multiple locations. So why stop here! We want to know where people want to see this film and go to where they are! Every donation will be a vote as long as we have your mailing address!
• Well if you donate $35 dollars you will
receive in the mail a free ticket to one of our showing closest to your
address. Now thats service! Plus Your vote!
•
If you donate $100 you receive the
"Date Night" Package! It includes 2 free movie tickets to one of our
showings closest to you and 2 free Marian Consecration books & your vote! We even help you
get Holy!
•
Lastly if you are willing to support us in
a major way and give $1,000 then we are giving you the "Family Night"
Package. It includes 5 free movie tickets to one of our showings, 5 free Living
Rule Ministry T Shirts and 5 free Marian Consecration Books and your vote! You receive over

So what happens if we don't reach our
goal?
•
If unfortunately we do not reach our full
fundraising goal here on indiegogo then we plan to use the money that we
receive to at least have one showing in either Pittsburgh or Steubenville,
whichever is cheaper to rent a theater. It is important to us that we show the
film and we believe that we should still deliver on what we are trying to do.
If we do not find full support here we will go elsewhere to find funding in
order to show this film.
Why "Mary of Nazareth" is
important:
•
This is one of the first movies to be put
out about our Blessed Mother in a way that is new and relevant. It provides a
new way of impacting today's culture.
•
The comparison that we can make with this
movie in it's impact is similar to that of "The Passion of the
Christ." It is similar in many ways except it is all shown through the
eyes of Mary. The purpose of showing Christ's life through Mary is so that Mary
can lead others to Christ through her example.
•
It provides an opportunity to evangelize
to others by simply inviting them to a movie.
•
Lastly we believe that Our Lady is the
easiest and surest way to salvation. She leads us to Christ and like a mother,
she teaches how to be holy as her son is holy. We can all relate to the bond
that we have with our Mothers, or the bond that we desire to have with our
mothers. Mary is our mother, she is perfect and all loving. She never turns us
away, instead she welcomes us with loving arms and provides for us the
opportunity to know the Savior of the World, Christ.
Other Ways You Can Help
Not everyone has money to give and truly
that is OK! We need your help to raise awareness about the film and raise
awareness of our indiegogo page. Maybe you can't help, but surely there is one
of your hundreds of friends on social media that would be able to support us.
Be sure to share our page and come to the movie if you can.
