The Nativity Story Film
Please Use This Evangelistic Opportunity
December 2006
Dear Friends,
The Nativity Story was recently premiered at the Vatican and received very good reviews.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Secretary of State, said: "It retells this event which changed history with realism but also with a sense of great respect of the mystery of the Nativity… a good cinematic" feature.
Meanwhile, Archbishop Foley, Head of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, said: "It is nice to be able to have something religious for Christmas."
The film chronicles the events that led up to the birth of Christ: the betrothal of Mary and Joseph, their arduous journey to Bethlehem, the finding of the stable, arrival of the shepherds and kings and so on.
CASE is eager to support the Catholic community to use this film as a tool of evangelisation and to that end we have created a dedicated web page resource. Please do forward the following link on to interested parties: http://www.life4seekers.co.uk/the-da-vinci-code/TheNativityStory.html
We also have a Christmas resources page which offers a host of materials, which have a specific focus on supporting parishes at this time of year. These materials can be found at: http://www.caseresources.org.uk/resources/downloads_christmas.html
