"Hi Patrick,
My name is Don Johnson. I run a media organization based in southern California dedicated to evangelization and apologetics. I am also a recent Catholic convert; I entered the Church at last year's Easter Vigil!. I am writing about a movie screening coming to Daphne that I think will be of great interest to your parishes, and also a powerful catechetical and evangelistic tool for the archdiocese of Mobile.
While I was exploring the Catholic faith, I traveled around the U.S. visiting over 20 well known Catholic converts and experts in the field about why people become Catholic, including Jennifer Fulwiler, Abby Johnson, Scott Hahn, and Jeff Cavins. The result is a documentary called Convinced; you can see the trailer and learn more about the film
here.
The response to the film has been overwhelmingly positive and I am so excited about how God is using it to encourage Catholics and reach out to others.
As part of our effort to expand that impact, we are having a national screening day on
April 28. Convinced will be showing at theaters all over the country, including at
The Carmike Jubilee Square 12.
I think it is going to be a great night - if you could help me get the word out, I would really appreciate it! Thank you for your time, Patrick. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can send you any resources.
