Mark your calendars: A new docudrama on the Immaculate Conception, from the filmmakers who brought us “Faustina: Love and Mercy” and featuring the Marian Fathers, is premiering in cinemas across the United States in December. “I Am the Immaculate Conception,” presented by Fathom Events, will open on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Dec. 12, and run for several days. The film had its world premiere at the 14th annual Napa Institute Summer Conference last July 25. Expert interpretation The title recalls how Our Lady introduced herself to St. Bernadette Soubirous in the grotto of Lourdes, France, in 1858: “I am the Immaculate Conception.” The film addresses the questions: Why does Mary present herself this way to St. Bernadette? And why does she emphasize her Immaculate Conception in other apparitions as well? “The mystery of the Immaculate Conception is at the very heart of our faith,” said Pope St. John Paul II. Interspersed with dramatic recreations of the most important moments in the lives of Mary and Jesus are commentaries by experts and scholars on Scripture, Tradition, revelation, and dogma. Among the familiar Marian faces are the Most Rev. Joseph Roesch, the Very Rev. Chris Alar, Fr. Kazimierz Chwalek, the Very Rev. Donald Calloway, and Fr. Boguslaw Gil. Marian participation “We are so grateful to the Marian Fathers for their collaboration on this film that is going to bring audiences to a point of reflection on Mary during the season where we honor her and her role in God’s plan for salvation,” says Michal Kondrat, producer. “This is a movie for today’s world in need of the sound teaching of the Church and the presence of Our Mother, Mary, the Immaculate Conception. We encourage families, parishes, and schools to see this movie together to grow in their love and devotion to Mary and her Son, Jesus.” Visit Fathom Events online for showtimes in your area.
