A Christmas Movie About Prayer, Sacrifice, and Heaven

The film follows Anne, a young girl with very little money but a generous heart. With the last pennies from her meager earnings, Anne pays for a Mass stipend for the intention of releasing the poor soul closest to heaven.

That day, after leaving the church, Anne meets a kind gentleman on the street. He tells her that someone is looking for a new housekeeper. Grateful for the opportunity, Anne thanks him and goes to the house he describes.

When Anne arrives, she meets the woman who owns the home and explains why she is there. Inside the house, Anne notices a picture of the same man she met earlier. The woman explains that the man in the picture was her only son, and that he has passed away. She insists it could not have been him.

Anne then shares something extraordinary. She has been praying and offering Masses for the poor soul who was closest to heaven. In that moment, they both realize the truth: Anne’s prayers helped free a soul from purgatory, and that soul appeared to her in her time of need.

Anne remains in the home, becoming like a daughter to the grieving woman. Together they find comfort and belonging — just in time for Christmas.

Behind the Scenes: Filming Our Christmas Movie

Filming A Home for Christmas was a joyful and memorable experience for our family. You can watch this Christmas movie on Industrious Family Theater.

We decorated our grandma’s house to create the setting, and many in our family helped bring the story to life.

• My mom played the lady of the house, Kathleen
• My sister played the maid, Mary
• I played Anne (Adelaide)
• My brothers and sisters appeared as background characters

We filmed in our town, worked together as a family, and enjoyed making this Christmas movie together. It was special to act, set dress, and share this experience with the people I love the most.

The Message of the Film

This Christmas movie reminds us of the importance of praying for the poor souls — souls who are suffering the pains of purgatory with the hope of heaven. The story shows how prayer, sacrifice, and obedience to God can bring unexpected happiness.

Anne prayed for a soul in need, and in return, she received help when she needed it most. The film encourages us to pray for the faithful departed and remember that faith and sacrifice never go unrewarded.
