Saint to Santa DVD Saint to Santa offers a unique behind the scenes view of a television show created by children accompanied by six original puppet characters created by puppeteer, Fr. Joseph Marquis. Discover how a beloved Christian saint became Santa Claus, as Saint Nicholas tells his own story!

The script is co-authored by the gifted six time Emmy Award winning director, producer and author, Chris Stepien (“Three Days: The Search for the Boy Messiah”), and Fr. Marquis, an Emmy Award winning Santa Claus and founder of the St. Nicholas Institute, is pastor of Sacred Heart Byzantine Catholic Church; Livonia, MI.

With children cueing the action, along with a host of zany puppets running the studio, Saint to Santa will prompt giggles and cheers for the kind saint whose joy reminds us that Christmas is the birthday of Christ our Savior.

As Chris Stepien playfully describes this one-of-a-kind DVD: “Saint to Santa is ‘The Muppets’ meet ‘Laugh-In’ for a sit down with St. Nick! It combines history, entertainment, humor, music and song, actors and puppets to tell the spiritual story behind the great saint we commonly know as Santa Claus. Saint to Santa is all about the joy that baby Jesus brings. Both kids and their parents will love this video.” 

Father Joseph Marquis noted. “St. Nicholas reminds us all that the same Holy Spirit that animated his life can make all of us ‘HO-HO-HOLY’, too.”
