ONE WEEK. 🔥

One week from tonight, John O'Leary will take the stage and officially open the inaugural Mater Media Speaker Series.

Burned on 100% of his body as a child, John was given almost no chance of survival. But he lived. And as he shares in this video, “God showed up through ordinary individuals like you and me.”

That truth is at the heart of John’s story—
and next Thursday, we’ll have the opportunity to hear it from him in person.

A story of faith. Of hope. Of the extraordinary impact ordinary people can have on one another.

September 10. John O’Leary. LIVE in St. Louis.

We are officially ONE WEEK AWAY from the beginning of something very special. 💙

There is SO much happening behind the scenes right now, and lots of special touches are underway! ✨

Yesterday, Jan was out delivering Mater Media Speaker Series passes to some of the incredible partners helping make this inaugural season possible.

A special thank you to KTRS, our official Media Partner; Acropolis Investment Management, our Visionary Sponsor; and Catholic Charities St. Louis, Event Night Sponsor for Timothy Cardinal Dolan, for believing in the vision of the Mater Media Speaker Series and helping us bring compelling Catholic conversations to St. Louis.

We are so grateful for the people and organizations who said YES to this mission from the very beginning. 💙

The envelopes are going out. The final details are coming together. And September 10 is almost here! We can’t wait.

What does it mean to bring hope into the darkest of places?

Eric Genuis has seen firsthand just how powerful that mission can be.

He has performed inside high-security prisons, playing for men chained at the wrists and ankles, seated at tables bolted to the floor. Dark, hot, unpleasant places—and yet, some of the most meaningful places he has ever shared his music.

Because even there, hope can break through.

On December 6, Eric will bring his extraordinary music to The Mater Media Speaker Series.

In this special message, he shares just how excited he is to come to St. Louis. Come hear the music. Hear the stories. And experience an afternoon filled with beauty, meaning and hope.

Special deliveries are on the way… ✨

Our Mater Media Speaker Series VIP and sponsor tickets are packaged up and heading out for delivery!

There’s something pretty exciting about seeing these ready to go. After months of planning, preparing and praying, Opening Night is almost here.

To our Founders Circle members, sponsors and VIP guests: we are incredibly grateful for the way you have supported this vision from the very beginning. We can’t wait to welcome you and celebrate the inaugural Mater Media Speaker Series together!

The countdown is ON. September 10 will be here before we know it! 🎟️✨

Before the stage. Before the lights. Before the first guest walks through the doors—we pray. 🙏

As Opening Night gets closer, there are a thousand little details being checked off behind the scenes.

But the most important preparation isn't on a checklist.

We pray for each of the speakers who will take the stage this season.

We pray for every guest who will walk through those doors.

We pray for the conversations that will happen, the hearts that will be moved, and the ways God may use these six evenings for something far greater than we can see.

The Mater Media Speaker Series was created to make Jesus Christ more known and more loved by more people through compelling Catholic conversations in the public square.

As we enter these final days before Opening Night, will you pray for this mission with us? Drop a 💙 in the comments below if you will join us in prayer!

We’d love to know what these two were talking about…

When John O'Leary and Eric Genuis get into a conversation, we have a feeling it’s probably a good one.

Two very different men. Two incredible gifts. And soon, two of the six nationally recognized speakers taking the stage during the inaugural Mater Media Speaker Series.

John will kick things off on September 10, and Eric will bring his extraordinary combination of music, storytelling and faith to the stage a few months later in December.

Photos like this make us even more excited for what this season is really about: bringing people together for conversations that matter.

And we are getting SO close.

On September 10, John O'Leary takes the stage for Opening Night—
and this is one you’re going to want to experience from inside the room.

The countdown is officially ON.

14 days... Are you coming?

Big vision deserves visionary support. 💙

We are incredibly grateful to Acropolis Investment Management, our Visionary Sponsor for the inaugural Mater Media Speaker Series!

Their generous support is helping us bring six nationally recognized speakers, six unforgettable evenings, and compelling Catholic conversations to the St. Louis community this season.

Thank you, Acropolis, for believing in the vision and helping us bring it to life. We’re honored to have you as an integral part of the very first Mater Media Speaker Series!

Happy Feast of St. Louis! ⚜️

Today feels especially close to home for us. Our city bears the name of St. Louis IX, King of France—
a husband, father, king, and saint who sought to lead with courage, justice, humility, and a deep love for Christ.

As a Catholic apostolate proudly rooted right here in St. Louis, Missouri, we’re grateful for the faith woven into the history of our hometown—
and for the reminder that holiness is meant to shape not only our churches, but our families, our communities, and our culture.

St. Louis, King of France, pray for us—
and pray for the city that bears your name!
