I am excited to announce a new documentary in the making, Awake: A look at the new evangelization in the 21st century. Please submit your sound bite to be part of this documentary. I plan to use this documentary to depict the universality of the Church when it comes to liturgical worship and the Corporal Works of Mercy/Catholic Social Teachings. I am asking for submissions of a 3-5 minute video of yourself addressing this statement with or without some footage of your ministry, active ministry, at work in the field.

Please note: if you are using your phone camera, it is extremely important to use the landscape/horizontal position when filming yourself and/or your ministry. This position will give the producers a better definition when editing. Please sign the release form allowing me to use your footage. Look at your calendar. Let me know when you can estimate when it can be completed. The deadline to submit (rlee641999@earthlink.net) this video is Friday, December 31, 2021. Any questions, you may email me or call at 404.226.8170. Thank you. God Bless.
