Newly Released Video Bible Study Series Features College Chapel
In January, a 12-member crew from Dr. Scott Hahn’s St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology visited campus to shoot video for an upcoming DVD series, The Bible and the Virgin Mary. Ten months later, that series is now available for purchase via Lighthouse Catholic Media. A trailer for the 12-part video catechesis, which includes images of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel, appears in the player above.
The Bible and the Virgin Mary is one of six parts of the St. Paul Center’s acclaimed Journey through Scripture study series. It includes discussions of the Scriptural roots of the Church’s teachings about Our Lady, an examination of the 10 Vatican-approved Marian apparitions, and stunning videography largely shot in and around the Chapel. It is a joint production of Skyrocket Pictures and Falling Upwards Productions, whose president, Lannette Turicchi, is the wife of R. Scott Turicchi, chairman of the Thomas Aquinas College Board of Governors.
During the filming of the series, Linda Kane Hitchcock, art director for the project and chief creative officer of Skyrocket Pictures, explained, “Aesthetically, the Chapel was the most perfect place for our discussions of the Virgin Mary. The cleanness of the environment allows the viewer to focus on what is being said, while still understanding that we’re in this beautiful, majestic space.” The Chapel “has a very beautiful, personal look that fits the ambience we are trying to create,” remarked Matthew Leonard, presenter for the series and executive director of the St. Paul Center. “And, of course, it is named after Our Lady, so it just makes perfect sense to film here.”
Added Mrs. Turicchi, “We are so grateful that President McLean and the Board allowed us to shoot at the College because it was the perfect venue for this production.”
