Mater Media

The stage lights and packed theaters are pretty exciting… but THIS is a little more what the day-to-day looks like at the Mater Media office.

Brochures, programs, promotional materials, and plenty of projects are always in the works!

There's a whole lot of planning, preparation, and teamwork that goes into bringing the Mater Media mission to life. And while you usually get to see the finished product, we thought we'd share a little glimpse of what happens along the way!

It's not always glamorous, but it's always for a greater purpose.

You may know us for the Speaker Series… but there's so much more to Mater Media!

Yes, we LOVE bringing people together for compelling Catholic conversations. But our mission doesn't begin or end when the stage lights go down.

It's in the books we publish. The films we help bring to life. The marriages and families we encourage. And the stories we share that have the power to reach hearts.

Different projects. Different audiences. Different ways of reaching people.

One mission: To make Jesus Christ more known and more loved by more people through media.

And we're just getting started!

One week from today, we will be called upon to protect women and children – their health, their safety, and their future. As Catholics, it is our duty to cherish and defend life.

On Tuesday, November 3, the choice is simple: respect life and vote yes.

When you put two longtime friends on stage together… you never quite know what you're going to get!

One thing we heard over and over in the reviews from our evening with Bill O'Reilly was how much everyone LOVED the back-and-forth between Bill and Zip!

The stories. The quick comebacks. The friendly jabs. These two had the crowd absolutely rolling with laughter!

And that's what made the evening so much fun. It wasn't just an interview. It was two old friends promoting the faith while having a conversation, and we all got to be part of it!

Compelling Catholic conversations… with a healthy dose of comedy!

A Decade with Mater Media.

As we continue through this Month of the Holy Rosary, we invite you to pause and pray one decade with us today.

This week's intention is for the Church—
that we may remain faithful to Christ, united in prayer, and steadfast in sharing His love with the world.

May Our Blessed Mother continue to guide and protect the Church, always leading us closer to her Son.

Our Lady of the Rosary, pray for us! 💙

Some stories are too important NOT to tell.

Last night, Mater Media founder Zip Rzeppa had the opportunity to speak at the Reach Reproductive Health Gala, sharing our mission to make Jesus Christ more known and more loved by more people through media.

But he also shared something especially close to our hearts right now: the upcoming film Zero A.D.

The film takes us back to the time of Christ's birth and the horrific massacre of innocent children ordered by King Herod. It's a story that reminds us of the unimaginable grief those families endured and invites us to reflect on the value of every human life.

And sadly, the tragedy of innocent lives lost is not just something from history.

Zip draws a powerful connection between the Holy Innocents and the millions of unborn children lost to abortion in our own country.

At Mater Media, we believe media has the power to reach hearts, change perspectives, and share truths that matter. That's why we're so excited to be helping raise support for Zero A.D. and sharing its message with audiences when it arrives this December.

This is media with a mission. And this is why we do what we do.

We hope you'll take three minutes to listen to Zip's remarks from last night. It's a message worth hearing.

“Do not be not afraid. Open wide the doors for Christ.” -St. John Paul II

Today, on the feast of St. John Paul II, we celebrate a saint who understood the incredible power of communication to bring people closer to Jesus Christ.

Through his words, his travels, and his embrace of modern media, he brought the message of the Gospel to millions around the world. He reminded us that faith is not something to keep to ourselves. It's something to LIVE, to SHARE, and to proclaim with courage!

At Mater Media, his example is especially close to our hearts. We believe media can be a powerful force for good—
a way to share truth, inspire hope, and introduce more people to the love of Christ.

And that is exactly why we do what we do.

May we never be afraid to share our faith, use our voices for good, and help make Jesus Christ more known and more loved by more people through media.

St. John Paul II, pray for us!

Well, we asked what you thought… and you didn't hold back!

The verdict on our evening with Bill O'Reilly?

Great stories. Plenty of laughs. A little friendly banter between Zip and Bill. And one VERY entertaining evening!

But don't just take our word for it. Swipe through to see what our guests had to say!

Two events down. FOUR more to go!

And if these reviews tell us anything, it's that you won't want to miss what's coming next.
