I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Our latest film, which has been exclusively aired on EWTN, is now available for everyone to watch on YouTube.

You can view it here: https://youtu.be/Z2wLpAYf2-0

This film is close to my heart and was created with the intention of inspiring and uplifting all viewers. It explores the profound beauty and significance of Saint Katharine Drexel's total gift of self, capturing her essence through powerful visuals and storytelling.

I am incredibly proud of this project and the impact it has had so far. It all started when I was blessed to film the transfer of her sacred remains from her mother house in Bensalem to the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul which is now the Shrine of Saint Katharine Drexel.

Your support and encouragement mean the world to me, and I am eager to share this work with you. Please take a moment to watch the film, and if it resonates with you, consider sharing it with your friends and family.

Thank you for being a part of this journey with Joyful Films. Your support allows us to continue creating meaningful content that touches hearts and minds.

Please reach out if you or someone you know is in need of High-Quality Video Production Services.

I live to serve!

In Him,

Bill
