A Matter of Faith

A Matter of Faith is a modern retelling of the story of Fatima, interweaving a contemporary narrative with the original scenes and songs from The Miracle of Fatima musical, written by Barbara Oleynick, whose cast album was recorded in 2002.

The series unfolds on two intertwined planes: the present day, where children rehearse a theatrical production about Fatima, and the historical past, where the events at Cova da Iria first took place. As rehearsals progress, the message given by Our Mother at Fatima is revealed not as distant history, but as a living call — one that precedes, shapes, and ultimately gives rise to the story of the messengers themselves.

The Miracle of Fatima musical has been performed internationally and in multiple languages, and has received endorsement from leading authorities on Fatima.

Rooted in devotion and guided by reverence for the original apparitions, A Matter of Faith honors the truth that the Message came first — and only then the children chosen to carry it. Faith, innocence, sacrifice, and obedience echo across generations, reminding viewers that heaven often speaks softly, through the smallest voices.

Created by writer and composer Barbara Oleynick, whose work also includes Blessed Is Her Name, the series offers a thoughtful, family-centered narrative that bridges tradition and the modern world, inviting audiences to rediscover Fatima not as a story of the past, but as a message still unfolding.
