A film crew from Dynamic Catholic made the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, Covington, their home October 2–3, as they filmed for Dynamic Catholic’s new project “People of the Eucharist.” One in a series of 10 programs, known as “Catholic Moments,” that Dynamic Catholic is creating to “hopefully create world-class faith resources and education for Catholics at different points in their life,” said Stephen Anderson, content team leader for Dynamic Catholic.

The program being filmed at the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption will be focused entirely on the Mass. Along with the full, live Mass that was filmed Oct. 3, the program will be broken into 52 “moments of engagement,” said Mr. Anderson, “that will teach people specifically how they can engage in that moment of the Mass.”

The crew will return in November to film the educational moments of engagement, which will be combined with the footage from the Mass.

This is not the first project that Dynamic Catholic has filmed in the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, but it is one of the largest scale projects that has been completed in the space.

“There’s a lot of prep work that goes into something like this,” said Mr. Anderson. “I did try to take a few moments on the day to sit back and look up at the cameras and just soak in the fact that this was happening at such a big scale.”

Mr. Anderson estimates that there was a total of 11 to 12 cameras on site in addition to sound equipment and drones. “The scale of this thing really blew me away,” he said.

The beauty of the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, in addition to its pre-existing comfort with the space and staff made it an easy choice to host the filming of the program.

“We think it’s one of the most beautiful churches in the world. We love that space, it’s so bright and beautiful. When it comes to capturing the beauty of the Catholic Mass, we really couldn’t think of a better location,” said Mr. Anderson.

The program has an expected release date of the summer of 2026 and can be viewed on Dynamic Catholic’s own viewing platform Dynamic+. The series will be free to access and view through this platform on their website.

“Nothing compares to the feeling and grandeur of a full Mass,” said Mr. Anderson. “We believe this will transform the way Catholics, young and old, experience the Mass forever.”
