Located in France’s Champagne region, Reims Cathedral is a thirteenth-century masterpiece famously known as the coronation site of the kings of France. For hundreds of years, sovereigns were crowned within these walls. Perhaps the most iconic moment in its history occurred in 1429, when St. Joan of Arc stood by as Charles VII was anointed king. The cathedral was built to accommodate these massive royal crowds, featuring one of the tallest roofs of any cathedral in Europe at the time of its completion.
Reims is often described as a “rainbow of stained glass” and is adorned with an incredible 2,300 carved stone statues alongside its famous gargoyles. Having survived centuries of fires and the devastating shelling of World War I, its well-balanced harmony remains a testament to the resilience of the faith. In the film, Bishop Barron explores how the very composition of Reims—from its looming towers to its intricate stonework—serves as a powerful tool to draw people into the life of Christ.
As we move into the final stages of promotion, our advertising needs have become more urgent. To compete in the modern media landscape and capture the attention of the wider culture, we must invest heavily in high-visibility placements. Billboards, in particular, are an incredibly costly but necessary expense to ensure this film has a presence in major cities across the country. We need your help to meet this robust advertising budget and cover these significant up-front costs. Will you consider making a generous gift today to help us put Heaven in Stone and Glass in front of as many viewers as possible?
God bless you,
