Those of you have been reading Beauty Matters over the past six months have had inflicted on you stories about my summer adventures and misadventures along the border of Scotland and England, as well as stories about my journey through non-places to find sacred spaces.
But now I have exciting news: soon you will be able to get a better sense of what the whole thing felt like, because we made a film about it!
I told my friend and collaborator, Christian Holden (of St. Anthony Media), that I wanted our film to be a digital “icon”; or, perhaps better, given the locale, that I wanted to do through film what our ancestors did in paint: we’ve aimed to create a cinematic illuminated manuscript.
The film will be premiered live on EWTN on Saturday, January 17, 2026, at 10 pm ET. It will then be re-aired on March 20. Appropriately, the feast of St. Cuthbert himself.
Help us spread the word!
