Mission

Mater (Mah-tair) is the Latin word for Mother. As Mater Dei means “The Mother of God,” Mater Media means “The Mother of Media.” The apostolate of Mater Media is consecrated to the Mother of God, our dear Blessed Mother.

The apostolate of Mater Media is dedicated to the creation and distribution of clever, skillfully written, inspirational Catholic novels as a means to effectively reach young people, without being preachy. It’s a great way to point young people in the direction of the Truth.

Why novels?
In recent years, young people have purchased more than a hundred million copies of novels in The Hunger Games, Twilight, and Harry Potter series, plus millions of copies of novels in other young adult genres. Many youth read them on their I-pads, I-phones, laptops, Nooks, Kindles, etc., thus making it easier and cheaper than ever for Mater Media to reach young people “where they’re at”---reading novels.

Author Call
The apostolate of Mater Media creates and publishes exciting, fascinating novels that inspire and lead young people in the direction of the Truth. Novels are distributed in both print and electronic form. The novels are marketed through Mater Media’s significant connections with Hollywood and television personalities, in stories and interviews with Catholic and secular media, in collaboration with Catholic apostolates for students in high schools and colleges, and through a vast outreach of social networking.
